Microfiber towels are made up of a blend of polyester and either polyamide or nylon. Polyester usually makes up the majority of the towel and is responsible for its durability and scrubbing power, while polyamide or nylon is responsible for its absorbency and density. Thus, the higher the percentage of polyamide or nylon, the more scratch-resistant and plush the towel. Cheaper towels may have a ratio of 90 percent polyester to 10 percent polyamide or nylon. For an all-purpose cleaning cloth, look for a blend of about 80/20 or 85/15.
Color
You may not think to pay attention to color when purchasing a microfiber cloth, but having a variety of colors within a set can help prevent cross contamination, especially considering how well microfiber holds onto dirt and grime. "With the awareness of cross-contamination it's great to have a variety of cloths you can keep separate in your cleaning caddy, in your car, and in the wash," says Brown. "And using the same color for every job removes the guesswork from trying to keep your cloths separate."
Try designating a different color for each cleaning area, such as kitchen, bathroom, automotive, glass, etc.
Questions You Might Ask
&#;&#;How do microfiber towels work?
Microfibers are set apart for their ability to attach themselves to microscopic dirt particles and even bacteria: "A microfiber cloth is designed with millions of small fibers that can lift and hold dirt, bacteria, and liquids," says Stapf. "Scientifically speaking, the polyester fibers are positively-charged and the nylon fibers are negatively charged, which creates the perfect storm to attract and pull in the mess you're cleaning up." High-quality microfiber towels are also more absorbent and quicker to dry than other towels, which makes them ideal for household cleaning.
When should you use microfiber towels?
Microfiber towels have many different uses, and certain blends lend themselves particularly well to specific cleaning tasks. In general, you can use microfiber towels any way you would a paper or cloth towel, because they're great for picking up dirt and bacteria.
"Every type of cloth has a purpose," says Brown. "In cleaning, microfiber cloths are preferred because of their effectiveness in sanitizing surfaces."Because of its ability to snatch up tiny particles, microfiber is also great for dusting surfaces, including electronics and car interiors. And depending on its density, it can be used for scrubbing down surfaces or drying and detailing scratch-prone surfaces, such as car paint. Microfiber cloths can be used dry, with water, or with cleaning solutions.
Which side of the microfiber towel should you use?
Some microfiber towels have one soft side and one slightly more abrasive side. The latter is best for scrubbing, while the former is meant for drying or detailing delicate surfaces without scratching them.
How should you wash microfiber towels?
Because microfibers have the ability to attract dirt, it's essential to maintain that attraction in order for your cloth to last: "Harsh chemicals will coat the cloth and make it less viable over time," says Stapf. "Therefore, you actually don't need to give the cloth a deep clean with every use. You can reuse the towel a few times in a row and just simply rinse it out under warm water and hang it to dry."
When it's time to wash, most microfiber towels are machine washable in cold or warm water (not hot) and should be washed separately from non-microfiber items to avoid attracting lint from other fabrics, such as cotton. Use a mild, unscented detergent and avoid fabric softener, dryer sheets, and bleach when washing microfiber towels. Fabric softeners and dryer sheets can affect the towels' absorbency, while bleach will erode the fibers. "Instead of fabric softener, you can throw in a tablespoon of white vinegar to combat any odor," says Stapf. A great way to keep them organized in the broom closet is to keep clean small towels in a hanging bag and larger ones stacked on a shelf.
To get as many wash cycles out of your towel as possible, Brown suggests the following steps:

8. If not using extractor, spray your carpet cleaner on the surface and agitate with a brush. Using a microfiber towel wipe and scrub all areas sprayed.
9. If using a steamer, you may start scrubbing all fabrics.
10. Once fabric is completed. Using your interior cleaner of choice and assortment of brushes and towel start on one corner again and work your way around working in quarters on all plastics leather and vinyl surfaces, door panels, dash, center console and sill plate and kick panels.

16. If finished with vehicle I recommend turning on the HVAC to the floor to help dry the carpets or parking car in the sun (in Butterfly mode)
17. If dressing the engine, you may do this during step 3, spray on a water-based dressing on all plastics and rubber under hood and let dwell.
18. Using a Shop-Vac or Extractor, suck all remaining water out of floor mats and let hang or lie them in the sun. Do not replace in vehicle unless main carpet is dry.
