In the last decade, microfiber <\/a>has become the cloth of choice for much of the custodial cleaning industry. Manufacturers of the high-tech fabric say it offers a host of benefits over traditional cotton, but many facility and housekeeping managers still stock their janitorial closets with both cotton and microfiber cleaning cloths.<\/a><\/p>\n

Microfiber vs. Cotton<\/strong><\/p>\n

While cotton is a natural fiber, microfiber is made from synthetic materials, typically a polyester-nylon blend. Microfiber is very fine — as much as 1\/100th the diameter of a human hair — and about one-third the diameter of a cotton fiber.<\/p>\n

Cotton is breathable, gentle enough that it won’t scratch surfaces and very inexpensive to purchase. Unfortunately, it has a lot of drawbacks: It pushes dirt and debris rather than picking it up, and it is made of organic materials that can harbor odor or bacteria. It also requires a break-in period to disperse the cotton seed oil, dries slowly and leaves lint behind.<\/p>\n

Microfiber is highly absorbent (it can hold up to seven times its weight in water), making it very effective at actually picking up and removing soil from a surface.<\/p>\n

In cleaning products microfiber is a blend of polyester and polyamide (nylon). In higher quality cleaning textiles the fiber is split during the manufacturing process to produce spaces in each fiber.It also has a long lifespan when properly used and maintained, and is lint-free.<\/p>\n

But cleaning experts say, when compared side-by-side, microfiber is clearly superior to cotton. So why do so many users continue to cling to cotton?<\/p>\n

“People are resistant to change,” says Darrel Hicks, industry consultant and author of Infection Prevention for Dummies. “can’t believe people are still holding onto cotton as being a viable product when it just doesn’t stand up to microfiber.”<\/p>\n
