Title: Microfibre cloth
Post by: stevegunn on March 23, 2005, 08:53:26 pm

I mislaid my brush for agitating upholstery and used a microfibre cloth today what a difference using the cloth made.Does anyone use these cloths as their normal way of agitating upholstery ???

Steve I've been using them for about 4-5 months I feel that they are brill, good on piping as it can be sometimes suspect ie wear and tare and I don't use half the solutions amount I used to as these clothes spread the solutions further as they are non absorbant, also they don't need laundering I just spray extract it after, one of the cheapest and best things I've ever bought only thing is there in PIG colours blue and white stipes >:(

I use them too. Rather than mess about with dunking, rinsing etc. I pre-spray fabric as per usual. Most areas will then only need to be agitated with the cloth. For heavy soiling though, I will then spray the cloth with my preferred  solution before using it for agitation. I do launder mine though, they go in with the terry towels. Never use Fabric Conditioner when laundering towels, cloths, pads etc.

I've never tried or even seen the blue and white striped ones, but I feel that the green ones are better than the blue or yellow ones from Unger.

Safe and happy cleaning :)

PS I find regular Microfibre cloths to be a little small in the hand. At the NEC, Julie Roberts (Chemspec-Europe) said she'd look into sourcing some larger ones.

Thanks

I use them also, only problem I find is that I have to use disposable gloves, as you get dishpan hands (very dry and wrinkly).

Have been using microfibre mit from Solutions for a month now - Brilliant. I pre-spray as normal and agitate with mit.  If i require extra M/S i spray direct onto mit and agitate.

The only ones I have seen are coloured; do they do them in white?

I can see me now nice off white suit using a red/yellow microfibre and it bleeds.

Len they do all different colours and they dont bleed.
But they do white. I prefere the white ones,and when i wash them i add some vanish to the wash which brings them out really white,just remember to rinse well.
