Live Clean. Live Better. Tip #2

Tip #2. Remove 99% of the Bacteria In Your Home When Cleaning With Microfiber.

Microfiber Versus Cotton

What is microfiber and why does it out perform cotton?

Polyester and polyamide are very fine threads which create the high quality microfiber towels we use today. Described to be hundred times thinner than a single strand of human hair and ten times finer than silk; microfibers are extremely fine compared to that of a cotton strand. Polyester is a lyophillic polymer or has affinity to oil that allows oil to cling directly to the fibers fast. On the other hand, water also easily adheres to microfiber since it is hydrophilic. Microfiber works well in storing dirt and dust at the same time, absorbs water tremendously even up to seven times or 600% its weight in liquids, dirt and other elements. Dirt particles cling, and are attracted to the finely wedged shaped fibers of microfiber, where as a cotton towel only pushes dirt and dust from one place or another. Such great characteristics allow microfiber towels to quickly remove dirt and leave surfaces completely clean.

Microfiber out performs cotton because of its admirable polyester and polyamide fibers that are strong and ensure durability. It’s resistance to stretching and shrinking that guarantees shape retention. Other than that, it is also wrinkle, mildew, abrasion resistant due to its highly elasticity. Moreover, it is resistant to most chemicals, retains heat-set pleats and crease, and is easily washed even only with clear water or mild soapy water. In comparison to cotton, a microfiber will absorb 98% moisture, while cotton can only absorb at best 70%.

The use of a microfiber towel does not only ensure cleaning and absorbing efficiently, but is also environmentally friendly and hypoallergenic (safe for human and pet skin). For one, it breaks down and absorbs mud surfaces, two, it is reusable many times before washing, three, it is convenient and easy to clean with. Technically, microfiber can help reduce up to 90% of the consumption of cleaning materials in your home, most especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. Microfiber reduces your exposure to toxic fumes generated by too much chemical use as cleaning with microfiber requires no chemicals. Microfibers can eliminate your use of dangerous cleaning chemicals thus lowering if not ridding of allergies and chemical sensitivities. In all areas of your home, microfiber removes 99% of the bacteria from surfaces, edges and corners which will result into a cleaner and yes, healthier environment. Cotton towels require more effort when removing stubborn dirt and dust, they smears mud onto surface pores, they stay wet and breeds mold and mildew, they are bulky and hard to handle and finally require immediate cleaning after using.

Microfiber consists of very fine polyester and polyamide fibers that execute to be excellent dust and dirt eliminators, quick and effective absorbers, easy drying, environmentally friendly and ensure minimal usage of chemicals creating the ultimate, cost effective cleaning cloth. With microfiber you get rid with the typical bulky cotton towel which only pushes away dirt instead of ideally cleaning the surfaces. Say goodbye to stubborn household dirt, germs, dust and bacteria and try microfiber towels and mops today.

Let me offer a great solution to combat cabin fever…I call it “giving fever”.

Here’s an example from my life:

On Friday, Dec. 19, Madison was hit with about 9″ of snow so my wife and I stayed home with our kids. We decided to go through our closets and basement and ended up gathering over eight boxes of used clothes and other items to donate. We took them to St. Vincent De Paul.  We know they will be a blessing and we are already blessed through giving.
This year when you feel “cabin fever” coming on go find something to give to someone in need and you too will experience “giving fever”.

A Helping Hand Residential Cleaning Professionals, LLC enjoys giving our clients an average of 200-400 hours of free time each year – and that’s a fact!

Recently, we received a postcard in the mail from a client which read:
“I love cleaning day. That evening at home is so relaxing. It’s nice to look around and know everything is clean and I can spend time with my family.”

That says it all! If you are looking for the perfect gift for a busy friend or relative, consider giving them the gift of time by purchasing A Helping Hand gift cards or certificates in the amount of your choice.

To get your gift certificate today, simply e-mail A Helping Hand at quality@madisonhousecleaning.net the following information:

• Your name
• Gift Certificate amount
• The mailing address (yours or the recipients’)
• Any additional information regarding your purchase

“Never Clean Your Home Again”
