Ultra microfibre benefits
Tomorrow’s Cleaning spoke with Diversey, who offers an insight into the advantages of ultra microfibre - focusing on sustainability, ergonomics and efficiency.
Sustainability Ultra microfibre cloths and mops support superior and sustainable daily cleaning processes. They are used with water alone and represent an excellent long-term investment which reduces the overall cost of cleaning.
Ultra microfibre is durable and will last a long time if looked after properly and washed in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Equipment is often bought in sets to support a three day rotation regime (in use, ready, in laundry). In many typical building care applications this means a set of cloths will last for around five years, based on a 500 wash lifetime. Systems such as TASKI JM Ultra can last even longer. During this time there is no need to purchase chemicals. Costs are therefore predictable and easier to control.
The absence of chemicals also allows ultra microfibre to be used in public areas with reduced risk to occupants and bystanders.

There is also reduced risk of slips on floors compared with wet mops because ultra microfibre is used dry or damp with no need for large amounts of water. This superior cleaning performance promotes better hygiene and higher perceptions of cleanliness that protect and enhance an operator’s reputation.
Cleaning without chemicals One of the major benefits of ultra microfibre is its ability to clean hard surfaces when dry or with water alone. In simple terms the fibre collects dirt through a combination of static charge and capillary attraction as it passes over the area being cleaned. The structure of
the fibres helps to retain any soil which promotes cleaning efficiency. Finer fibres, and more of them, produces the best cleaning results because there is a larger surface area to attract and retail dirt.
Using dry or damp microfibre removes the need for chemicals which simplifies cleaning processes and eliminates costly and time-consuming training and compliance processes. Purchasing and supply chain costs are reduced if fewer or no chemicals are needed. With no need to store chemicals valuable space can be put to more productive uses.
