Why is our microfiber a megafiber?
Not all microfibers are created equal. Unfortunately, the market is flooded with poor quality goods. We'll show you how to recognize a good cloth.
Quality features: How to recognize high-quality microfiber cloths
There is a wide range of microfibre cloths available on the market and, as in many other areas, there are significant differences in quality. At first glance, it is often difficult to judge which microfibre cloths are of better quality.
Cheap, poorly produced cleaning cloths usually lose their cleaning performance quickly. In contrast, high-quality microfiber cloths impress with their consistent cleaning effect and long lifespan. But how can you tell in advance whether a product is of high quality?
water absorption
The water absorption capacity of a microfiber cloth depends heavily on the fiber volume. A higher fiber volume also means a higher fiber content, which is responsible for the absorbency. High-quality microfiber cloths are particularly absorbent and dry quickly, as the absorbed water can easily escape from the fibers. This means they are quickly ready for use again.
However, there are also applications where high water absorption is not desired. Fine-fiber cloths, such as glasses cleaning cloths, are designed for dry or slightly damp use.
lint formation
Microfiber cloths consist of many small fibers, some of which can come loose during use or washing. High-quality microfibers are special fibers in which hardly any fiber parts come loose thanks to the material composition and structure. Therefore, unlike cotton cloths, they do not leave any annoying lint on cleaned surfaces.
If this is the case, it is of inferior quality that neither cleans efficiently nor is suitable as an advertising medium.
streaking
Streaks occur when dirt is not completely absorbed by the fibers. Instead, the dirt is distributed over the surface together with water.
This problem often occurs with inferior cloths whose fibers are not porous enough or have been poorly processed. With high-quality microfiber cloths, no streaks appear even after many uses and washes. They retain their cleaning effect for years.
shrinkage
Before using a microfiber cloth for the first time, it should be washed. Low-quality microfibers tend to snag and shrink when washed, which reduces the surface area of the cloth and negatively affects its cleaning performance and lifespan. High-quality microfibers, on the other hand, retain their shape and performance even after many washes.
Conclusion
To ensure high quality, we regularly test our microfiber cloths for their properties and quality characteristics before they go on sale.
Anyone who sells microfiber cloths or fabrics should pay attention to these features themselves or choose a reliable partner who can help you choose the right products and ensure their quality.
At ruhrfaser, we place particular emphasis on high-quality microfibers that are specially developed for professional use. Our textiles retain their shape and absorbency even after numerous washes, so they guarantee maximum cleaning performance over a long period of time.
We look forward to your inquiry
