Understanding Microfiber
At its most basic, the term “microfiber” refers to a micro, or small, fiber made up of synthetic materials such as polyester, nylon or a combination of the two fibers.
The individual microfibers are knit together to form cleaning tools that are able to trap microscopic particles and liquids within the intricate network of small fibers far more efficiently than larger fibers.
