What is Microfiber?

Microfiber is an ultra thin synthetic fiber that is composed of a blend of polyester and polyamide textiles. There are basically two types of microfiber, that which is for cleaning and that which is for clothing and furniture. The microfiber for cleaning is chemically split which adds considerable surface area to the fiber, and gives it a magnetic attraction to dust, dirt, and grime, as well as gives it a capillary effect which allows it to soak up to 7 times its weight in water. While the microfiber made for furniture and clothing is non split, and repels dirt and liquids.
