That may sound like hype, but it's
true, according to studies performed
by hospitals. Microfibers
are tiny strands (usually less than one-tenth
the thickness of a human hair) that
are sliced into even smaller strands and
then woven into fabric. Those tiny strands
reach into crevices and provide millions
of little pockets within the fabric to hold
dirt particles. The strands also have sharp
scouring edges, so microfiber cloths often
clean effectively without chemicals or
even water (you can use cleansers or water
if you choose). When used dry, microfiber
cloths generate static electricity, which
attracts and holds dust. To clean out all
that dirt, just toss microfiber items in the
washing machine. You can use microfiber
products to dust furniture, clean glass,
mop floors or even wash your car - or
anything else. Find microfiber
dust cloths ($5), mops
($20) and other
cleaning gear at
most discount
stores. To find a
huge selection of
microfiber gear
online, just search
for "microfiber."
