The short answer is that there are many reasons why microfiber cloths are the future of cleaning. The long answer is…well, settle in!
How It Works
The more hands there are helping with a job, the more quickly and efficiently that task will get done. The same is true of towels and cloths – more fibers means more gripping strength, and more space to grab grime and absorb spills. Fabrics woven from microfibers contain millions of crevices and valleys, which can trap 100x more dirt and grime than a cotton towel.
Microfibers are tiny, which means that hundreds of thousands of them can squeeze into just one cloth. That’s a lot of cleaning power!
Most kinds of microfiber are made from polyester and polyamide, a type of nylon. The best quality microfiber cloth has a blend of at least 80% polyester and 20% polyamide.
Many Ways to Clean
Microfiber cloths are incredibly versatile. They’re not only for cleaning products – they’re also used to make floor mats, clothing, industrial tools, and more.
The kind of microfiber used to make clothing and fabric is called “non-split.” Microfiber cloths made for cleaning are split, so that there are even more tiny fibers and gaps to pick up messes. The more splits the fiber has, the more effective it is at cleaning.
Microfiber cloth for cleaning purposes should have a “catchy” feel. The more catchy the feel, the more dirt, dust, water and even bacteria it will pick up. This doesn’t affect the softness of the cloth, so no need for concern about scratching delicate surfaces.
The smoother feel of some microfiber cloths works for more specific uses, like cleaning and dusting glass, mirrors, stainless steel, and chrome, where they leave a streak-free, shining clean.
Bacteria-Fighting Clean Without Chemicals
The tiny filaments that make up microfiber don’t just pick up dust and dirt – they also grab viruses and germs. Microfiber cloths don’t kill bacteria, but they trap the rubbish that microorganisms like bacteria stick to – just add water!
Water is one of the strongest forces on Earth, and a brilliant natural cleaner. When combined with microfiber cloth, it has the same power to break down grime as soap or detergent, acting as a magnet and gripping dirt and dust. With the right cleaning product, water can be just as or more effective than that expensive disinfecting spray, no chemicals needed.
Once you’re tidied up, all you have to do to get your Handee Pockets ready to fight the next mess is rinse and wring. The germs and grime go down the drain. (If your Handee Pockets are stained or greasy, a run through the laundry will do the trick.)
Clean Your Home & The World
We all know the usual process: going to the grocery store and buying bottles of disinfectant spray and surface cleaner, multipacks of paper towels, and containers of wipes. Maybe those cleaners look nice and natural, but the truth is they’re filled with harsh chemicals – and the constant purchase of solutions and paper towels is wasteful, for both the planet and your wallet. The future of cleaning is in low-waste, durable cleaning products you can use again and again – just add water.
Handee Pockets are eco-friendly and highly reusable, able to last for hundreds of washings without losing their effectiveness. Their man-made fibers are non-toxic and require no cleaning chemicals to pick up dust and keep surfaces shining. In fact, microfiber is very effective when used alone with just water.
Why Handee Pockets?
Deep, effective cleaning has never been simpler than with Handee Pockets. Not only do they use the power of microfiber to eliminate the need for anything other than a splash of water, they’re designed to fit perfectly in your hand. That means wiping the fridge, scrubbing the countertop, fixing the kids’ spills, or any other cleaning task is as easy as running your palm over it.
The average microfiber cloth bunches up and drags, making cleanup complicated. The ergonomic design of Handee Pockets slides over your hand for a smooth wipe that won’t bunch or fall out of your grasp. Its two-sided design is perfect for getting into corners and along edges, and sliding around curves and contours. Handee Pockets act as an extension of your hand for the most control possible, and better control means a faster, easier clean!
