MICROFIBER - Sustainable cleaning, without chemicals.
MICROFIBER - Sustainable cleaning, without chemicals Microfiber offers high efficiency and lint free cleaning. Functions electrostatically with minute split fibers composed of polyamide and polyester (over 180,000 fiber terminals per square inch). These split fibers lift stains and scrape particles into the cloth. Sustainable savings - use over & over. Launder hundreds of times.

Flat, Flexible, Extendable & Washable

• AIM ™ Microfiber Towels are Lint-Free and work both electrostatically and mechanically with minute split fibers of polyester and Polyamide.
• AIM ™ Microfiber Towels are 70%Polyester and 30%Polyamide, containing more Polyamide fibers than the typical 80/20 blend.
• AIM ™ Microfiber Towels are over 320 grams / m² with over 180,000 fiber terminals per square inch. This high density translates into greater cleaning power. A cloth with 50,000 fibers per square inch will cost less!
• AIM ™ Microfiber Towels are nicely hemmed and Launderable hundreds of times.

Like Superman, Microfiber has a Kryptonite

What can damage microfiber?

• Chlorine bleach, over time, can damage the fibers and reduce the life of the pad. Fabric softener contains silicone, which cannot only reduce the static properties of microfiber, but can also create build-up in the fibers.
• Extreme heat can also damage microfiber.

How can you tell microfiber has been damaged.  Are there visual indicators?

• On flat velcro pads you will notice the velcro backing is either damaged by dry heat or clogged with lint and debris from linting particles such as cotton products.
• On microfiber towels, saddle style, microfiber mops, microfiber dust mops etc., you will notice signs of wear if borders or fringes are beginning to fray or come apart.
• Typically the microfiber will outlast the other components that hold the pad together.

• Most microfiber is some ratio of polyester and polyamide. Generally either 80/20 or 70/30. In and of itself, both are good in certain applications.
• You also want to look to see if the core is foam or microfiber, with foam being much less quality.
• An often overlooked factor is the quality of the velcro backing. Typically they are either nylon or polyester. Both can be high or low quality, but it is suggested that the backing be examined for quality, as well as the front of the pad.
• Another factor in quality is gram weight. With towels, for example, it is difficult to tell the difference, visually, between a 45-gram and a 49-gram weight. Cloths with a higher gram weight are more plush and more dense. It is one area that manufacturers control costs, sometimes without the customer knowing. This makes constant quality control imperative.

Buy according to microfiber cloth specs: Wash cycle counts, wear resistant cycles, abrasiveness factor, amount of water absorbency and release.
