What is microfibre cleaning?
We were first introduced to microfibre cleaning when training with Diversey Johnson.
Microfibre is a synthetic fabric many times smaller than human hair. The gap between fibres is so tiny it creates a static charge that attracts dry soil and dust.
The real magic happens when used damp. Capillary action is when liquid moves through narrow spaces without or against the assistance of external forces. Damp microfibre creates a suction net that draws up bacteria and traps it deep in the cloth. Rather than pushing bacteria around, microfibre traps bacteria more effectively than traditional cloths, when used correctly.
Microfibre cloths can be boil washed, which releases and kills trapped bacteria. Unfortunately this releases microplastics into the water. However find out how we combat this and continue to make our service environmentally friendly by reading our

How can I keep my workplace safe from the mutated corona virus? The mutated corona virus is far more contagious than the previous strain. To protect your workplace double down on your existing safety measures. Here’s what we are recommending to our manufacturing clients: Split your workplace into zones such as: • Shop floor • Office spaces • Kitchens • Toilets • Warehouse/storage Whenever moving into a different zone carry out these hygiene measures: • Wear a mask • Maintaining social distancing • Wash hands or change gloves Between each zone? Yes, between each zone. Even if it’s only a few feet from the shop floor to the office? Yes! To really keep your staff safe use cleaning products designed to attack enveloped viruses. And make sure your cleaning operatives are touchpoint cleaning trained. Our operatives have always been touchpoint trained since Core Services began in 2015.
