On My Wish List: The Ultimate Cloth for Cleaning

I’ll be the first to confess that I’ll never win an award for housekeeper of the year. My home is never filthy, but it has what some friends kindly describe as the “lived in” look. There always seems to be a pile of papers on the dining room table, kids’ toys in the living room, and a load of clothes waiting to be folded. It’s not that I don’t enjoy having a clean and mess-free house; rather, it’s that I just seem to have other priorities.

I have a demanding job, so that takes up more hours in the day than I even like to think about. And then there are school activities, chauffeuring my son to sporting events, and errands to run.

But at the root of it all, I’ve figured out, is that I always end up feeling discouraged when I clean. Why? Because it can so often feel pointless. I can’t count the number of times when I’ve spent hours cleaning my windows, only for the sun to come up the next day and reveal the streaks on the windows. Ditto for my shower doors. It’s frustrating to put in that kind of time and wind up with a less-than-desirable result. I’ve tried using tricks my mother taught me, like using newspapers instead of paper towels, but that offers only a marginal improvement. What I really need is the ultimate cloth for cleaning – streak free cloths that will allow me to wet it, wring it out, wipe it down, and walk away.

If often imagine that, if I could find the ultimate cloth – perhaps made from a new mircofiber or mirafiber – I would finally feel the motivation to keep everything clean and shiny. This ultimate cloth would be totally green and eco-friendly, with no chemicals or other harmful elements. It would be washable and bleachable, so that I could just toss it in the laundry and be able to use it over and over again. This ultimate cloth would also be versatile, so that I could not only use it on my windows and shower doors, but also on my countertops, stainless steel, mirrors, and ceramic tile.

These streak free cloths would be both tough and tender – tough on dirt, yet gentle enough so that it won’t scratch or damage the surface I’m cleaning. They would have a magnet effect, so that they’re able to grab and hold dirt, dust, and grime, while at the same time being very absorbent.

Frankly, I get tired of a cleaning process where it seems like I’m just pushing dirt and dust around and never really capturing it. In my vision of a perfect world, I’d be able to get a microfiber ultimate cloth string mop that would clean tile floors, laminates, and hardwood floors without chemicals and using just water.

With the latest advances in fiber technology, I wouldn’t be surprised if my ultimate cloth exists. Once I find it, I know that my frustration with cleaning will dissipate, and that I’ll be more motivated to keep my windows, countertops, and floors sparkling.

Technology Produces an Ultimate Cloth with Many Uses

Technology Produces an Ultimate Cloth with Many Uses

From the dawn of human history, we have taken the materials at hand and created textiles out of them. From fur and wool to cotton and sisal, we have crafted textiles out of animals and plants. Over the past half-century, synthetic materials like nylon, acrylic, and polyester have added to our textile repertoire. But perhaps our most astounding technological leap in fiber technology is our ability to make fibers ultra thin. These so-called microfibers make up the ultimate cloth and have paved the way for applications as diverse as apparel, sports equipment, and cleaning.

In fact, when it comes to effective cleaning, mircofiber has few peers. Because the fibers are so thin (about 1/200 the width of human hair), they can be spun in such a way as to leave spaces between the fibers. These spaces, in turn, create a surface that can lift and trap dust, dirt, and moisture. The particles are trapped there until the mirafiber is washed. These characteristics are in stark contrast to those of ordinary fibers, which simply push around dirt and dust, leaving a residue on surfaces.

This ultimate cloth uses water as a lubricant to emulsify dirt and oil; in fact, the cloth can generally absorb about seven times its weight in water. The spaces that allow for the absorption of water also make the cloths dry out more quickly. Similarly, because the fibers are so thin and there are so many of them woven together, they can almost be guaranteed to last up to five years.

When it comes to cleaning, these mirafiber cloths are safe for virtually any surface. Around the house, they can be used on windows, mirrors, glass, ceramic, tile, and stainless steel. They can also be used to clean vehicles’ windshields, chrome, and auto bodies. Because they can be used on Lexan, Eisanglass, plastic, and fiberglass, this ultimate cloth comes in handy for motorcycles, boats, and RVs. Best of all, the microfiber technology means that they will leave surfaces streak free, and that the cloths are washable and bleachable.

Today, this ultimate cloth is manufactured in a variety of different applications. In addition to cleaning cloths, you can find mini sizes for cleaning glasses and small electronics; string mops for tile, laminate, and hardwood flooring; dusting mitts for blinds, ceiling fans, and small items; and even pillow covers for travel size pillows that are helpful to those with allergies.

Because the cloths work beautifully using only water, they are being embraced by those who wish to reduce their impact on the earth by avoiding chemically based products and paper towels for cleaning. Their eco-friendliness extends to people with environmental sensitivities, who may have an adverse reaction to conventional cleaning products.

Textile technology continues to evolve, but the ultimate cloth may have already been invented.

Cleaning Mitts Work Marvels – With the Ultimate Towel

Housekeeping has been the bane of my presence for as lengthy as I could bear in mind. At the ripe seniority of 50, I lastly concerned approve the fact that I would certainly never ever be named “Caretaker of the Year.” I think that my recalcitrance originated from my belief that house cleaning was, to a large degree, meaningless. Take the cooking area, as an example. I would spend a hr or 2 scrubbing it to pristine perfection, just to prepare a meal and also have grease-spattered counter tops and also smudged cupboards certainly look back at me. In my heart, I just knew that all of the dust in the neighborhood picked my home as its last relaxing location. Right stuff collected on the blinds, on image frameworks, on ceiling followers, on knick-knacks – as well as certainly on coffee tables and the top of the TELEVISION.

My imperfections as a housemaid were never ever a lot more obvious than when I went to visit my two closest pals. To say they are neat is an exaggeration. A dust mote would not risk go across the thresholds of their houses. I think that one of my friends cleanses her residence with the thought that Martha Stewart will certainly reveal up any type of day to offer it the white handwear cover test, while the other spends part of each Saturday morning on a stepstool, cleaning the tops of her doorframes. On greater than one celebration, I discovered myself rolling my eyes, asking yourself if they really did not have extra efficient methods to invest their time. Deep down, nonetheless, I was just a tad little bit envious. Nevertheless, it’s not that I do not take pleasure in the serenity of a clean residence; housekeeping simply never came out at the top of my list of top priorities.

Regarding a year ago, my viewpoint changed when the three of us were out to lunch and also one good friend discussed in passing that she ‘d lost her cleansing glove. My other good friend was empathetic, as well as I sat back as the two reviewed the marvels of an utmost fabric that cleaned a breeze. As they waxed poetic concerning a mirafiber towel that was cleanable, bleachable, as well as guaranteed for 5 years, I realized that they really did not spend an extreme amount of time on housekeeping. Rather, they had actually discovered a product that made housekeeping a breeze.

Although it went against my nature, I made a decision to provide this supreme towel a shot. What I found was eye-opening. Basically, I could clean my entire residence (and also my cars and truck) with water and a cloth. I didn’t require an entire closet full of cleaning up materials, and also I really did not need to squander paper towels. Instead, I can wet the towel, wring it out, wipe down the surface I was cleaning up, and afterwards leave knowing it was all streak complimentary. I can obtain rid of everything from hair spray as well as oil to dirt and soap residue without making use of any type of chemicals in any way. I also got a cleaning mitt, which functioned fantastic for blinds, ceiling fans, and little items.

I’ll still never ever be named “Caretaker of the Year,” yet with my utmost fabric, I uncovered that maintaining my home tidy does not have to be an undesirable task. I do not need to select in between having a clean residence as well as doing the things I like. Now, I could “tidy as I go” as well as keep my home clean, and also still have plenty of time for the points in life that are most crucial to me.
