Advances in green cleaning technology have created cleaning products and tools that are beneficial to the environment, help prevent illness, and are more efficient and economical to use. One such advance in beating bacteria is microfiber cloths.
Microfiber cloths are made from polyester. They maintain their shape well and hold up to eight times their weight in water. They also absorb oils exceptionally well and don’t scratch surfaces because they are extremely soft. Learn more. Also, although these products may cost more, they are actually more cost effective because they last longer and require less effort to use.
Ease of Use
Wash microfiber mops and rags in regular washing detergent. Dry on normal settings and the cloths and mops are ready to use. (Pro tip: don’t use fabric softeners. Th oils in these products clog the fibers and make microfiber less effective.)
Cost Effective and Green
Beating bacteria is also more cost-effective with microfiber cloths. There is less need for costly chemicals and less impact on the environment. Learn more.
Infection Prevention
Microfiber cloths typically remove 99% of bacteria from non-porous surfaces without the use of chemicals. An anti-microbial treatment helps prevent the growth of stain and odor causing bacteria. Also, studies have found that microfiber can provide bacteria-reducing benefits for up to 300 washes when it is cared for properly.
Benefits to Large and Small Office Building Facilities
- Effective and efficient. Microfibers mops, dusters and cloths are lighter and ergonomic which diminishes the amount of time and effort needed to complete cleaning task ultimately leading to an increase in productivity.
- Reduces chemical toxins. Microfiber allows for chemical-free cleaning of most surfaces which eliminates the impact of harmful chemicals.
- Preserves interior surfaces. Furnishings and office equipment last longer because of the lack of harmful chemicals, scratches and residue.
- Reduced illness and better hygiene. These products provide a superior level of cleanliness, eliminate germs and help reduce sick days.
