What is a microfibre cloth & How to use it for cleaning
A microfibre cloth is a popular cleaning product we stock here at Cork Hygiene, which helps make your cleaning tasks more efficient. Microfibre is a synthetic material made up of tiny fibres. These fibres are much smaller than traditional cleaning cloths, meaning they can clean more thoroughly and with less effort. In this article, we will discuss what a microfibre cloth is and how to use it for cleaning.
What is a Microfibre cloth?
A microfibre cloth is a cleaning cloth made from a blend of polyester and nylon fibres. As the fibres are incredibly small – specifically around 1/100th the diameter of a human hair – making them highly effective at picking up dirt and debris. We supply a wide range of microfibre cloths, which are available in many sizes and colours, making them suitable for a wide range of cleaning tasks.
How Do You Use a Microfibre Cloth?
Microfiber cloths can be used for various cleaning tasks around the home, including dusting, wiping down surfaces, and cleaning up spills. Below is our step-by-step guide on how to use a microfiber cloth.
Step 1: Choose your cloth:
Here at Cork Hygiene, we supply a wide range of microfibre cloths that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. Many cleaners choose to purchase cloths in different colours and designate a coloured cloth to each area for where you want to clean to prevent cross-contamination. For example, use one coloured cloth for cleaning surfaces dedicated to the kitchen, and use a different coloured cloth for the outside of your toilet.
Step 2: Dampen the cloth:
Before you use your cloth, dampen it with water or a cleaning solution making it more effective at picking up dust, dirt, and grime from surfaces than a dry cloth. The moisture in the cloth helps to loosen and dissolve dirt and makes it easier to wipe away.
Step 3: Wipe the surface:
Next, gently wipe the microfibre cloth in a back-and-forth motion. Start from the top of the surface and work your way down. This helps to prevent dust and dirt from falling onto areas that are already clean.
Step 4: Rinse the cloth:
If the cloth becomes too dirty, rinse it with water and wring it out, or if the cloth is too dirty, you can replace it with a fresh cloth.
Step 5: Dry the surface
After you’ve cleaned the surface, use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe it down and remove any remaining moisture. If the surface is left wet after cleaning, it can leave streaks or watermarks on the surface, such as wood or glass.
