Fiberdukar

Fiberdukar are fabrics made from natural or synthetic fibers that are designed to contact, clean, or protect surfaces. They can be woven, knitted, or nonwoven and come in various weights and textures. Common materials include cotton, linen, polyester, polyamide, viscose, and blends. A notable subtype is microfibre cloth, which uses extremely fine synthetic fibers to create high surface area, strong absorbency, and low linting.

Microfibre cloths are especially popular for dusting and cleaning without or with minimal chemical cleaners, as they can trap dirt, oils, and moisture effectively. Cotton and linen cloths are typically highly absorbent and durable for general cleaning, while disposable nonwoven wipes serve in environments such as laboratories, healthcare, and industry where sterile or single-use products are preferred.

Typical uses include household cleaning of kitchen surfaces, windows, and electronics, car care and polishing, drying cars or dishes, and preparation work in painting or finishing projects. In professional settings, fiberdukar may be chosen for lint-free properties, chemical compatibility, or sterile application, depending on the material and construction.

Care and maintenance vary by type. Reusable microfiber and cotton cloths are commonly washable; use mild detergent, avoid fabric softeners and high heat, and air dry or tumble dry on low. Nonwoven disposable wipes are intended for single use. Proper care extends lifespan and performance while reducing waste.

Environmental considerations include the potential release of microplastics from some synthetic cloths during washing. High-quality, reusable cloths, proper washing practices, and recycling options help mitigate impact.
