A microfiber cloth is a versatile cleaning tool made from a blend of polyester and polyamide fibers. These fibers are incredibly thin, about 1/100th the width of a human hair, which allows them to trap dirt, dust, and grime more effectively than traditional cloths. Microfiber cloths are also highly absorbent, able to soak up to seven times their weight in water. This makes them ideal for cleaning spills, polishing surfaces, and drying dishes.
