Microfiber is a fine synthetic fibre that is made from a combination of polyester and polyamides (nylon). It’s hundred times thinner than human hair. It is made of eighty percent polyester which has water absorbing capacity up to four times its weight. It has twenty percent of polyamide which gives a static charge to the material and helps it to attract dust from surfaces.
The microfiber technology is used mostly in the cleaning industry to make dry floor mops, cloths, surface & wall dusters, scrub pads. The silicon wool in the scrub pads helps in lighter brushing of sin ks and taps. We train people on how to use the product for maximum results.
The products can be used either dry, damp or wet. They can be used just like regular dusters. On an average, the microfiber cloth can stand 400-500 washes. Bleach is the most menacing enemy to microfibers.
Almost every brand has microfiber products now. About 20 well-known brands are available in India. The lint-free varieties are used in car cleaning. The increasing awareness will only guide users to buy the best product and use them smartly and appropriately.

Microfiber absorbs water and cleans without leaving any marks or scratches on the surface. The material of the cloth accommodates the mud particles. They cling to the cloth’s surface and are removed easily. It is easy to clean them later too.
Ours is a franchise that gets the cloths imported from the US. It is best for glass cleaning, seats, roof, metal body of the engine etc. We use it either dry or damp and not with any chemicals. It is safe and the staff can be easily trained on how to use it. It can be reused so it saves money. We use 40 cloths or more in a month. We colour code them so as to prevent cross contamination.
I have been seeing microfibers used extensively in the car cleaning industry in the US. The practice has nevertheless caught up in India too. A thriving market with good quality microfiber products is what we look forward to having in India.
