How to choose the right one?
In addition to the function of the microfiber towel, pay attention to its size and density. Microfiber with a density of 230-350 g / m2 is used for the manufacture of stocks2... To clean the kitchen, the density of the fabric does not really matter. With medium intensity of use and proper care, the product will last approximately six months.
A towel for daily cleaning is often moistened, curled, so the density is important for her. The service life of the product depends on this indicator. The higher the density, the longer the towel will last.
Rules of care
The long life of microfiber can only be guaranteed if the instructions are followed during operation. After cleaning, dust and dirt particles get stuck between the fibers of the fabric, the fabric loses its water absorption properties. Therefore, the product must be washed. The life of the inventory is measured by the number of washes indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging. On average, the declared period is 400 washes.
Wash the microfiber cloth in two steps. First, the product is washed in warm water at a temperature of 40-60 degrees without using detergents. Then, for disinfection, washing is repeated at 60-100 degrees using low alkalinity washing powder. During the procedure, the use of bags for washing is not required.
Perfumes and rinses contain silicone and other substances that get stuck in the fibers of the fabric. They reduce the static properties of microfiber, so they are not added during washing.
After washing, the microfiber is dried in hot air at a temperature of 80-120 degrees. It is advisable to avoid rough surfaces, objects with burrs during operation, which can damage the fibers of the fabric.
The microfiber towel is a versatile helper in household, household, automotive and industry. The innovative material has no full-fledged analogue, it has become a truly revolutionary product due to the extraordinary properties of the canvas.
