Microfiber looks to outperform cotton bar towels

With cotton prices skyrocketing recently, many companies are looking elsewhere for their towel supply.  To keep expenses in line for industrial laundry companies and their customers, many are looking to microfiber to help alleviate price increases.

When we really started looking into microfiber, here’s what we found…

  1. Microfiber has exceptional absorbency.  Microfiber has high density fibers that absorb 6 to 8 times their weight in water.
  2. Microfiber cleans all types of surfaces…wet or dry.
  3. Microfiber attracts and removes up to 5 times more dirt and grime than the standard cotton towel.
  4. Microfiber is truly lint free!  This eliminates shedding problems.
  5. Microfiber is a lighter weight towel.  It reduces storage requirements and is easier to use.
  6. Microfiber is easier and faster to clean.
  7. Microfiber helps with sanitation.  It removes bacteria with only tap water and eliminates messy buckets and mop water.
  8. Microfiber is non-abrasive.  It has exceptional polishing results and will not damage sensitive surfaces.

During extensive product testing at SITEX’s Henderson location, microfiber outperformed cotton in many different areas.  With the increases cotton companies are demanding and with microfiber becoming the new “hot” item, I bet you will start to see microfiber a lot more.
