It’s official. Microfiber is the new terry cloth. A few years ago, nearly every
manufacturer recommended terry cloth towels for detailing. Not any more.
Microfiber, with its amazing cleaning ability, has become the towel of choice.
For all its dust-attracting, non-streaking, silky softness, microfiber requires
only one thing in return: a good detergent.
Microfiber has special cleaning properties that make it a unique cleaning
challenge. First, microfiber has a split weave that forms liquid-trapping
compartments. Car care products and dirty residue accumulate within the split
weave, where they can be tough to remove. A lot of laundry detergents fall short
of removing oily residues: think of greasy food stains on your favorite shirt.
On microfiber towel or applicator, oily residue from one product can interfere
with the performance of another product, i.e. streaking, poor adherence, and
cloudiness.
Secondly, microfiber has static cleaning properties that allow it to attract
dirt and dust. Fabric softeners or detergents containing fabric softeners will
eliminate the static charge, thus eliminating the microfiber’s attraction to
dust.

Microfiber has an absorbent split weave that captures dirt and residues.
Conventional laundry detergents cannot always release residues from deep
within the fibers. |
Typical laundry detergents also have perfumes and dyes that can leave residues
within the microfiber. These additives are unnecessary and undesirable in a
microfiber wash. For the best performance and longevity of your microfiber
collection, use a clean-rinsing, grease-cutting cleaner that leaves nothing
behind. One example is DP Microfiber Cleaner.
DP Microfiber Cleaner is formulated specifically to clean microfiber and protect
its special characteristics. A special blend of emulsifiers, surfactants,
chelating agents and water softeners deep clean microfiber to restore its
texture, softness, and absorbency. DP Microfiber Cleaner breaks down oily
deposits and stains and suspends them until they are flushed out in the rinse
cycle.
In fact, if you put your hands in DP Microfiber Cleaner, you’ll notice how dry
they feel when you pull them out. That’s because DP Microfiber Cleaner zaps all
the oils out of your hands. It has this same effect on microfiber. DP Microfiber
Cleaner releases all oils, grease, organic stains, food, make-up, and
protein-based stains, like blood and body oils. The microfiber is left totally
clean, like new.
Mild water softeners in DP Microfiber Cleaner neutralize hard water to maintain
the soft texture of the microfiber. Fabric softeners will eliminate the
microfiber’s electric charge, and therefore make it ineffective for dusting. DP
Microfiber Cleaner preserves this electric charge and maintains the fabric’s
softness. Microfiber towels and tools will come out of the dryer feeling soft
and clean.

In
the before image, these microfiber towels had a combination of brake dust and
exhaust film. The bonnet had polish residue on it. After washing them in DP
Microfiber Cleaner, the towels and bonnet are clean and soft. These are the
actual results achieved with DP Microfiber Cleaner. |
DP Microfiber Cleaner can be used on natural chamois and terry cloth, too. It
will release stains and preserve the material’s natural texture, just as it does
for microfiber.
DP Microfiber Cleaner rinses completely clean. It leaves no residue of its own
and it is completely biodegradable.
DP Microfiber Cleaner contains no fabric softener or bleach, which reduce
microfiber’s effectiveness. DP Micro-Cleanser is all cleaner, nothing extra.
DP Microfiber Cleaner is highly concentrated! One to two ounces cleans a half
load of laundry. Two to three ounces clean a full load. Allow heavily soiled
items to soak for several minutes before running the wash cycle. A measuring cup
is included.
Think of how soft a new microfiber towel feels. Microfiber is a manmade product.
It doesn’t age like cotton or a chamois. Microfiber will stay this soft as long
as you take care of it properly: no fabric softener, no bleach, and no heat.
Nothing needs to be added to microfiber to maintain it. Using DP Microfiber
Cleaner is an easy way to be sure you’re washing away soil and putting nothing
in its place.
