Although the duster was a classic, microfibre cloths promise to revolutionise domestic cleaning. For years, the traditional duster was the favourite tool for cleaning furniture and surfaces. However, in recent times, it has begun to be replaced by a more practical and efficient alternative: reusable microfibre cloths. These cloths, which can be found in supermarkets and cleaning product shops, retain dust and dirt without spreading particles into the air, as is the case with conventional dusters. Unlike dusters, which often just move dust from one place to another, microfibre retains it and leaves surfaces clean and shiny.
Why microfibre cloths are replacing dusters
- Superior efficiency: microscopic fibres generate a static charge that attracts dust, animal hair and fine particles.
- Softness and care: they do not scratch furniture, screens or appliances.
- Reusable and environmentally friendly: they can be washed by hand or in the washing machine, reducing the use of disposable products.
- Economy: as they last longer than traditional dusters, they avoid frequent purchases.
How to use microfibre cloths at home
- Wipe the dry cloth over the surface you want to clean to capture dust and particles.
- For tougher stains, dampen it with water; avoid unnecessary chemicals.
- Ideally, you should have several cloths differentiated by use: one for furniture, another for the kitchen and another for the bathroom.
- Wash the cloths regularly to maintain their effectiveness and durability.
With this alternative, you can say goodbye to the traditional duster, taking care of the surfaces in your home, reducing the use of chemicals and keeping your home clean quickly and efficiently.
