The dish cloths and dish towels to tackle any cleaning job. The DII Zingz & Thingz Essential Microfiber Dish Towels loosen food & grease for easy cleaning of dirty countertops, dishes, and pans. The microfiber gets underneath the dirt and germs, lifting them from the surface and trapping them until the cloth or mop is laundered. The microfiber cloth is densely constructed polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibers that are approximately 1/16th the thickness of a human hair. When woven together, these fibers create a net-like surface area, covered with millions of spaces to trap moisture, dirt and debris. The microfibers are able to get into tiny nooks and crevices whereas the traditional cotton cloth and mop fibers cannot. The nylon component of the fiber also produces a static charge that attracts dirt, pulling it in and trapping it until the cloth or pad is washed. These kitchen cloths are ultra absorbent. This microfiber dish towel holds up to 7 times its weight in liquid, dirt or grime. The microfiber towel has a capillary effect between the fibers creating suction, enabling it to clean and polish at the same time. The microfiber cleaning towels work best when used slightly damp. You can get optimum results by, misting the microfiber towel with tap water and wipe; no chemicals are needed. If the towel leaves streaks while cleaning, it is too damp or too dirty and needs to be washed. The microfiber cloth is safe on all surfaces, for polishing and dusting, microfiber towels are best when used dry.
