Papermake Guide: Microfiber Cloths, Flat Mops & High-Performance Textiles

Microfiber products remove more soil, reduce chemical usage, and improve hygiene compared to cotton or traditional textiles. This guide explains how to choose the right microfiber cloths, mop pads, and high-performance tools for cleaning, sanitizing, and floor care.

1. Why Microfiber Works Better

Microfiber splits into tiny strands that trap dirt, oils, and microbes far more effectively than standard cloths. When used properly, microfiber reduces:

2. Types of Microfiber Cloths
General-Purpose Cloths

Ideal for wiping counters, fixtures, desks, appliances, and everyday surfaces. Available in multiple colours to support cleaning zone separation.

Glass & Polish Cloths

Fine-weave microfiber designed for mirrors, glass, stainless steel, and chrome. Leaves surfaces streak-free with minimal moisture.

Heavy-Duty Scrubbing Cloths

Cloths with a built-in abrasive texture for removing dried soil and tougher residues without scratching most commercial surfaces.

3. Microfiber Flat Mops

Flat mops provide superior soil removal and faster floor cleaning compared to string mops. They allow staff to clean more square feet per shift with less fatigue.

Flat mops also support hygienic practices by using one pad per room instead of shared buckets.

4. Colour Coding & Hygiene

Microfiber is one of the easiest categories to colour-code, helping prevent cross-contamination between high-risk and low-risk areas.

Setting up a colour-coding program ensures the right cloth is used in the right area, improving both safety and cleaning consistency.
