Types of materials from which cleaning wipes are made
House cleaning is a daily and time consuming job. To facilitate it, manufacturers have created special napkins. Today in stores you can find a large assortment of this product. The area of application differs depending on the material. Therefore, we will deal with this issue in more detail.
- Cellulose... The main feature of such products is a high degree of liquid absorption. The material is natural, which means it is safe. In dry form, such products are hard and dry. This ability prevents the growth of bacteria and fungi. Products are used only when wet. They perfectly collect dust and do not leave streaks.Such a rag needs special care: you cannot rub it hard, do not twist or bend it in a dry state, wash it only by rinsing it in soapy water.
- Microfiber... It is a synthetic material composed of polyester and polyamide. Due to the peculiarity of the structure of the fabric, such rags gently polish the surface, penetrate into shallow recesses and remove dust and dirt well. They perfectly absorb moisture and are used for dry and wet cleaning. The product can be washed by hand or in a typewriter at a temperature of 60 C, and dried only in a natural way.
- Viscose... Natural material made from compressed wood pulp. Suitable for dry cleaning of household appliances, as it does not lead to the formation of static. Of the minuses, it can be noted that such wipes quickly disintegrate and begin to emit unpleasant odors. Therefore, they need to be changed frequently.

Tips for choosing cleaning wipes
Before buying cleaning wipes, you need to pay attention not only to their price and size, but also to the materials. The quality of cleaning depends on this indicator. Consider the types of napkins depending on their area of application:
- Kitchen. Oily spots appear here very often. Products made from bamboo and cellulose will do an excellent job with this kind of dirt.
- Tiles and plumbing. The surface of such materials is glossy and often limescale forms on it. In this case, it is better to choose cellulose napkins.
- Floor. for high-quality cleaning of the floor, it is necessary to comply with the following conditions: removal of dirt, dust and fine litter, and also not to leave streaks and wet marks. Products made of viscose and microfiber perfectly cope with such tasks.
- Furniture. The main selection criterion is the removal of dust, including from shallow depressions, as well as the possibility of polishing. For this type of cleaning, you should give preference to microfiber napkins, and for wet cleaning - cellulose.
- Glass and mirrors. When applying the gloss, it is required not only to remove dirt, but also not to leave traces, including lint. To do this, it is better to buy a microfiber product without lint or with short hair. You can also purchase a faux suede rag.
- Appliances. Dust quickly accumulates on it, as it attracts it. Therefore, use a rayon cloth for dry cleaning. It will additionally relieve static stress and reduce the formation of dust on equipment.
