Janitorial Cleaning Services in Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley: The Microfiber Advantage

Posted on November 1, 2017

New developments in technology have brought us cell phones, the internet, and so much more, making life easier every day, in almost every way. This is especially true in the cleaning industry, where developments in technology have brought janitorial services vacuums, disinfectants, and more recently, microfiber cloths and mops.

At JAN-PRO® of Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley, we’re always looking for ways to improve the janitorial cleaning services we provide to businesses in Columbus, Warner Robins, Macon, LaGrange and Auburn, AL. That’s why we’ve embraced microfiber materials as part of our collection of industry-leading cleaning systems and supplies.

How Microfiber Helps Janitorial Cleaning Services in Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley

When looking for the difference between microfiber cloths and the traditional cloths some janitorial services use when cleaning facilities, it comes down to the size of the fibers woven to make up the cloths. Traditional cloths and rags are woven from large fibers of cotton or nylon, where the fibers in microfiber cloths are 1/16 the size of a human hair.

Just some of the advantages to cleaning using cloths made up of such small fibers include:

  • Antibacterial cleaning. Because the fibers in microfiber cloths are so small, they can hold onto and remove much smaller particles. Where traditional cloths remove dirt and dust by dragging across surfaces, microfiber cloths penetrate surfaces to remove particles of bacteria, as well as dirt and dust. In fact, studies have shown that cleaning with microfiber can remove up to 99% of bacteria, whereas traditional cloths can only remove 30%.
  • Greener cleaning. As our microfiber cloths are antibacterial, we’re able to deliver our janitorial services to Columbus-area facilities using fewer harsh cleaning chemicals and less water. This contributes to a safer workplace and a greener earth.
  • More efficient cleaning. An added advantage to the microfiber cleaning supplies we use when delivering our janitorial cleaning services to facilities is that, when the fibers in our cloths rub together, they become positively charged. This positive charge acts as a magnet, trapping negatively-charged dust particles into our cloths’ weaving for more efficient cleaning results.
