Why microfibre cloths clean without streaks

Glass that dries without a single streak looks like a knack, but it is really just the right cloth used the right way. Here is why the iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth leaves windows and mirrors clear first time, and how to work through a room so you are finished sooner.

Why microfibre leaves no streaks

Streaks are simply dirty water left behind on the glass. Microfibre fibres are split so fine that they lift dirt and moisture into the cloth instead of pushing them around, and because the weave is lint free, nothing is left on the surface to dry into a smear. One cloth replaces a pile of kitchen roll and does the job again next week, which is easier on your budget and on the bin. See for yourself with the iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth and enjoy a home that looks clear all the way through.

How to clean windows without streaks

Windows have a reputation for being fiddly, but with the right method you get clear glass in one pass. Work like this:

1. Lukewarm water with a drop of washing-up liquid: Mix lukewarm water with a small amount of washing-up liquid in a bucket. That lifts grease and traffic film off the glass.
   
2. Rinse the cloth first: Rinse a new cloth under the tap to wash out any residue from manufacturing, then wring it out well so it is damp rather than wet.
3. Work from the top down: That stops dirty water running over the part you have already done, which is where most streaks come from.
   
4. Water on its own for light jobs: For stubborn marks you can add a splash of vinegar, washing-up liquid or an all-purpose cleaner.

Tips that make the job quicker

A few habits will save you a surprising amount of time:

1. Give each room its own colour: That keeps bathroom germs out of the kitchen and saves you thinking about it. Blue for the kitchen and grey for the bathroom, for example.
   
   
2. Wash them regularly: Wash the cloths at 40 degrees without fabric conditioner so they keep drinking up water. Conditioner coats the fibres, and a coated cloth smears instead of cleans.
   
   
3. Let them dry out properly: Hang the cloths up to dry rather than leaving them in a ball. A dry cloth gives bacteria and mould nothing to grow in, so it still smells fresh next time you reach for it. Keep them out of the tumble dryer.
   
   
4. Ideal on smooth surfaces: Shower screens, worktops, glass and gloss all come up clear. The fibres are soft enough that you can lean on them without leaving scratches.
   
   
5. A splash of vinegar for fresh limescale: Add a splash of vinegar to your water to clear the cloudy film that hard water leaves behind. Limescale that has been building for years is a job for a proper descaler first; after that the cloth keeps it from coming back.
   

Follow those and you will get through the house faster, with less kit to carry and less to buy. That is the whole point: finished sooner, and right first time.

The short version

• Microfibre leaves no streaks because it lifts dirt and water into the cloth, and the weave is lint free.

• For windows, use lukewarm water with a drop of washing-up liquid, then a microfibre cloth and a squeegee.
  

• Mirrors usually need nothing but water. Wipe in circles with a damp cloth and rinse it out as you go.
  

• The cloths last for years, which keeps money in your pocket and waste out of the bin.
  

• Keep them working by washing at 40 degrees, skipping the fabric conditioner, and giving each room its own colour.
  

Do that and your home stays clear and streak free, with a lot less thrown away along the way.

Questions people ask

What size is it and which colours can I get?

The cloth is 60 x 40 cm. It comes in pink, blue, light grey and anthracite.

How damp should the cloth be?

Always use it damp. Wet it, wring it out well, and get to work.

On delicate surfaces such as screens, spectacle lenses and high-gloss lacquer, a dry cloth is best avoided altogether.

How can one cloth save me more than 50% of my time?

You save the time you would have spent going back over the same surface, and you save the trips to fetch a spray, a second cloth and a roll of kitchen paper. One damp cloth, one pass, done. Our customers tell us the same thing on social media: they are finished far sooner than they expected, and the result holds up to a second look.

We take that as a compliment, and it is why we keep making them. Less time on the cleaning means more time for whatever you would rather be doing.
