Why Microfiber Rags Are Awesome!
Microfiber cloths are a game-changer for cleaning because of how they’re engineered — and what they can do that regular cloths or paper towels can't. Here's why they're so effective:
🔬 1. They Clean on a Microscopic Level
Microfiber is made of tiny synthetic fibers (usually polyester and polyamide) that are 100x finer than a human hair.
The fibers are split during manufacturing, creating millions of tiny hooks that grab and trap dirt, dust, bacteria, and grease — not just push it around.
💧 2. They Clean with Little or No Chemicals
Just water + microfiber = effective cleaning.
They can remove up to 99% of bacteria using only water, which makes them ideal for people with allergies, sensitive skin, or chemical sensitivity.
The addition of cleaning solvents makes them one of the most powerful tools in the cleaning arsenal!
🧼 3. Streak-Free, Lint-Free Results
Microfiber is perfect for glass, mirrors, stainless steel, and electronics.
It won’t leave streaks or lint, unlike paper towels or cotton rags.
💪 4. Reusable and Durable
One high-quality microfiber cloth can be washed hundreds of times (often up to 500).
That means less waste and lower long-term costs than disposable wipes or paper towels.
⚡ 5. Highly Absorbent
Microfiber can absorb up to 7 times its weight in liquid.
Great for drying surfaces, cleaning spills, or applying cleaning solutions evenly.
🦠 Bonus: Traps Germs, Doesn’t Spread Them
Regular cloths often just smear bacteria around.
Microfiber traps particles in the cloth, reducing cross-contamination — especially important in kitchens and bathrooms.
All of our cleaning rags at Blue Skies Cleaning are color coded microfiber. Why color coded, you may ask? Well, this is our simple system to avoid cross contamination. You probably don’t want us using the same rag on your toilet rim and fridge handle (at least we assume you don’t) so this is our way of making sure that doesn’t happen!
