Microfiber Towel FAQ

Microfiber cloth is a type of cleaning cloth that is made of a blend of polyester and nylon fibers. These fibers are woven together to create a fabric that is soft, durable, and highly absorbent. SilkTouch Microfiber cloth is made of 80% polyester and 20% polyamide. 

Microfiber cloth is a synthetic fabric made from a blend of polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibers. The process of making microfiber cloth involves splitting the fibers into extremely small strands, which are then woven together to create a fabric. SilkTouch microfiber towels are made of 80% Polyester and 20% Polyamide.

Here is a step-by-step process of how microfiber cloth is made:

  1. Melting: The polyester and polyamide fibers are melted and extruded through a spinneret, a device that produces long, thin fibers.

  2. Splitting: The extruded fibers are then split into extremely small strands using a process called splitting. This creates tiny channels in the fibers, which are what make microfiber cloth so effective at cleaning.

  3. Spinning: The small strands are then spun together to create a yarn.

  4. Weaving: The yarn is then woven together to create a fabric.

  5. Cutting: The fabric is then cut into the desired shape and size, often using laser cutting technology.

  6. Finishing: Finally, the microfiber cloth is finished by washing, dyeing, and softening it to improve its performance and appearance.

Overall, the process of making microfiber cloth involves a combination of high-tech machinery and precise manufacturing techniques to create a fabric that is durable, effective, and versatile.

GSM stands for grams per square meter, which is a measure of the density of the fabric. The GSM of microfiber can vary depending on the intended use and quality of the fabric. Generally, microfiber towels used for cleaning and detailing have a GSM of 200 to 350. Higher GSM means a thicker and more absorbent towel. SilkTouch microfiber towels come with a highest 350 GSM.

When used properly, microfiber cloths are less likely to scratch surfaces compared to other types of cleaning cloths. However, if the cloth has picked up grit or dirt particles, it can potentially scratch surfaces. To avoid this, it’s important to regularly wash the microfiber cloth and avoid using it on rough or abrasive surfaces. Additionally, make sure to use the appropriate cleaning technique for the surface you’re cleaning.

Microfiber towels are better than traditional towels for several reasons. Firstly, they are highly absorbent and can hold up to seven times their weight in water, making them perfect for cleaning up spills or drying surfaces. Secondly, microfiber towels are incredibly soft and gentle on surfaces, making them less likely to scratch or damage delicate items. Additionally, the tiny fibers in microfiber towels can reach into crevices and corners that traditional towels may miss, making them more effective at cleaning. Finally, microfiber towels are more durable and long-lasting than traditional towels, making them a more cost-effective choice in the long run. Overall, the unique properties of microfiber towels make them a superior choice for a wide range of cleaning tasks.

Cleaning car windows with a microfiber towel is a great way to achieve a streak-free shine. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Start by cleaning the exterior of the windows with a regular car wash solution or glass cleaner.

  2. Once the exterior is clean, move to the interior of the windows. Spray a small amount of glass cleaner onto the surface and wipe it down with a microfiber towel.

  3. Fold the towel into quarters to maximize the number of clean surfaces you can use for cleaning. Use the first side of the towel to wipe down the window in a back-and-forth motion.

  4. Then, use the second side of the towel to wipe down the window in an up-and-down motion. This will help to ensure that all streaks are removed.

  5. Use the remaining sides of the towel to continue cleaning the rest of the windows in the car.

  6. For any tough spots or stuck-on grime, use a bit of elbow grease to scrub the area gently.

Remember, always use a clean microfiber towel for the best results. Dirty towels can leave behind streaks and scratches.
