The Difference Between A Cheap Microfibre Cloth And All-Round Professional Microfibre Cloths
The right cloth changes how the whole job feels. The professional microfibre cloths from iZi-Clean have a clear edge over the cheap alternatives. Here's what makes a professional microfibre cloth different, and how to pick the right one for the jobs you do.
What is an all-round professional microfibre cloth?
An all-round professional microfibre cloth is built to handle almost any job in the house, quickly and without fuss. It uses a particular blend of polyester and polyamide that takes up dust, dirt and liquid far better than an ordinary cloth. What you get is a streak-free and scratch-free surface.
What makes a microfibre cloth professional?
Professional microfibre cloths are made from high-quality polyester and polyamide, with a much higher fibre density. That density is what lifts more dirt, dust and moisture in a single pass. They are made for heavy use, and they clean better and last longer than the cheap ones.
Why choose a professional microfibre cloth?
They leave no streaks and they suit almost any surface, glass and stainless steel included. They tend to be bigger, like the 60 x 40 cm ones, and they hold far more water. They also survive wash after wash without losing their pull, which makes them good value at home and at work alike.
What you gain with a professional microfibre cloth
How do they differ from the cheap ones?
Cheap microfibre cloths have a lower fibre density and a much shorter life. They stop absorbing quickly and tend to leave lint behind. Professional microfibre cloths, on the other hand, stand up to wear and keep their cleaning power wash after wash. They do the same job on day one and on day five hundred.
Why the materials matter
Better materials simply clean better. The polyester and polyamide blend creates ultra-fine fibres that pick up dirt and moisture in one go. They are gentle on the surface too, leaving no streaks and no scratches, so they are safe on delicate things like glass and stainless steel.
Getting the best out of your cloths
How to use them
Technique makes a real difference. Dampen the cloth lightly with water, or with something mild such as an all-purpose cleaner, a biodegradable cleaner or a splash of vinegar, then wipe in one direction. Fold the cloth into four so you have several clean faces to work with and never carry dirt from one surface to the next.
How to look after them
Look after them and they will look after you. You do not have to machine wash after every use: a quick rinse by hand keeps them going for longer. When you do put them in the machine, stay at 40°C and leave out the fabric softener, so the fibres stay open. Let them dry properly before you put them away, so mould never gets a chance. Do that and you get years of steady, streak-free results.
