Microfiber towels are made of a blend of polyester and polyamide. When looking for microfiber towel Series quality you want a 80/20 or 70/30 polyester to polyamide ratio because these are commonly the highest quality towels.Microfiber towels have better water absorption than cotton towels, so they are used as kitchen towels and car microfiber wash towel series.
1.The Water Test: Is It Absorbent?
Microfiber is more absorbent than cotton for many reasons. With that being said not all microfiber towels are created equal! Higher quality towels should dry and clean up spills both better and faster than lower quality ones. So do the water test to see if your microfiber towel is absorbent.
1.Pour water on a flat, smooth surface.
2.Place your microfiber cleaning towel on the surface and slowly slide it toward the puddle of water.
3.Observe how the towel interacts with the water. Does it: Suck it up like a vacuum, push the water away, or somewhere in between?
4.Does it wick through the towel quickly?
If your towel pushes the water away then it`s not very absorbent. You want a towel that acts like a vacuum, sucking the water up, wicking it through the towel. These are signs of highly absorbent microfiber towels. Make sure your microfiber towel is an 80/20 or 70/30 polyester to polyamide ratio. Wherever you stand on the argument, everyone agrees that your microfiber towel needs to be somewhere between these ratios. Make sure to avoid 100% polyester microfiber towels.
2.The Touch Test: Will It Grab and Hold?
You want to make sure your microfiber towels have a "grippy" feel. The more "grippy" feel of the towel, the more dirt, dust, water, and even bacteria it will pick up! Don't worry, the grippy feel does not take away from the softness of the cloth, so you won't have to be concerned with scratching anything delicate. So here's how to do the Touch Test:
1.Run your hand over the towel and ask yourself the following questions.
2.Is the cloth soft?
3.Would you use it on the finish of your car?
4.Does the material grab the imperfections in your skin, getting caught on your hand?
If you can see a lot of sunlight or the towel stretches easily, then you don`t have a quality towel. It is also important to look at the binding of the towel. Make sure the edges are nicely sewn, this prevents any fraying.
