Washroom Wisdom

The magic of microfibre

Microfibre is a synthetic material that can magically leave surfaces clean and germ free with no chemicals or water. This hardworking cloth uses millions of minute fibres and a static electric charge to pick up and trap dirt and bacteria, removing pathogens and germs other cloths would leave behind.

General surface cleaning Used dry, a microfibre cloth makes a great duster, picking everything up and holding on to it, unlike a traditional duster that prefers to share the dust around. Used damp, the cloth will clean and remove germs with just water or a small amount of mild cleaning chemical - remember, it’s the cloth doing the hard work, not the cleaning agent. Microfibre can easily hold up to eight times its weight in water, leaving a shiny, streak free finish that’s completely free of moisture.

Glass cleaning Glass cleaning cloths have a flat weave that still picks up dirt and bacteria, but doesn’t hold onto it, ensuring glass and screens are protected from scratches.

Keep the magic Treating your microfibre to regular and appropriate washing will keep the magic working for around 500 washes versus around 30 washes for a cotton socket mop.

Floor mopping The water guzzling microfibre makes light work of floor cleaning, soaking up spillages with ease. This leaves floors clean and dry much quicker and reduces mop wringing and bucket refilling for operatives. A 2022 study at the University of California Davis Medical Centre found microfibre mops used 95% less water than cotton socket mops and achieved a 20% daily labour saving. To maintain floors, dry dust

mopping is often all that’s needed. For higher traffic areas and heavy

soiling, a damp mop with water or mild chemical will do the trick.
