Mikrovlákno

Mikrovlákno, often referred to as microfiber, is a synthetic fiber characterized by its extremely fine diameter, typically less than one denier. This means that each individual fiber is finer than silk or cotton. Microfibers are commonly made from polyester, polyamide (nylon), or a blend of both. Their unique structure results in a high surface area to volume ratio, which gives them remarkable absorbent and cleaning properties.

The tiny fibers create a large number of tiny pores, allowing microfiber cloths to trap and hold dirt, dust, and liquids effectively. This makes them highly popular for cleaning various surfaces in homes, vehicles, and industrial settings. They are also used in the textile industry for clothing, upholstery, and bedding due to their softness, durability, and ability to wick away moisture.

In cleaning applications, microfiber's effectiveness stems from its ability to lift and encapsulate particles rather than just pushing them around. This is partly due to an electrostatic charge that attracts dust. When used dry, they are excellent for dusting. When dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution, they can remove grease and grime without the need for harsh chemicals. Proper care, such as washing with mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, is important to maintain their efficacy and prevent damage to the fibers.
