What is Micro Fiber?

Microfiber is a fiber with less than 1 denier per filament. (Denier is a measure of linear density and is commonly used to describe the size of a fiber or filament. Nine thousand meters of a 1-denier fiber weigh one gram.) Fibers are combined to create yarns. Yarns are knitted or woven in a variety of constructions. While many microfibers are made of polyester, they can also be composed of polyamide or other polymers.

Micro-fiber cloths are made of Micro-Fiber threads that are approximately 80% Polyester and 20% Polyamide (Nylon). Each single thread of micro-fiber is 1/100th of the thickness of a human hair. Micro-fiber cloth is the fabric of choice for performance situations where a regular cloth would not be as soft and non-abrasive to delicate surfaces, nor lift dirt, dust, and particles to clean as effectively.

Hypoallergenic and Great for the Environment!

The Handy Map Microfiber Cloth traps dust and dirt, and can be used to clean dry as a dust rag or wet with only water. That is because the filaments in the Handy Map Cloth are positively charged, while dust and dirt carry a negative charge.
