Cleaning with Microfibre

Cleaning with Microfibre

For those of you who don’t like cleaning with chemicals, but still want a powerful clean, we’re sure you already use microfibre to help you meet these goals. Here are a couple of commonly asked questions with answers, and tips relating to microfibre cleaning.

Why is microfibre superior for cleaning without chemicals?
Ordinary cleaning cloths, mops, etc have fibres that are made of cotton or synthetic material like nylon. But microfibre has far more fibres, and they’re much smaller. Microfibres are able to attach themselves to even the smallest, most microscopic dirt particles – ones that normal cloths and mops brush past.

What’s the best way to use microfibre?
You will want to (out of habit) soak it with water and detergent – both of which will reduce the microfibre effectiveness. Get a better result by using as little water as possible.

Our Microfibre cloths and mop pads can be washed for multiple uses, but there are some care instructions you should be aware of first:
It is recommended that you wash your microfibre items separately from your other items. The reason being, we know microfibres want to pick up everything, and that includes anything coming off other items in the wash.

When it comes to what detergent to use, we suggest a gentle one without any dyes, scents, or additives. And 100% no bleach or fabric softeners. Bleach will ruin the cloth and fabric softeners with clog the fibres.

The water temperature can be cold or warm, but not hot as this will also damage the microfibres.

How To Clean Your Timber Floors

Tips for keeping your timber floors beautiful for years to come.

Everyone thinks timber floors are a delicate and hard to maintain surface, but with the right tools and these simple rules they will maintain their beautiful lustre and charm for years to come.

1. Sabco’s famous microfibre mop range: As far as we are concerned microfibre is the only way to care for timber floors. Our microfibre range includes more traditional shape strip mops such as the Wonder mop or Australian favourites flat mops such as the SuperSwish Xtra, XL Total or SuperSwish Duo that offer complete wet and dry cleaning for the ultimate hardwood floor care.

2. You don’t need to use much water! Always ensure your mop is well wrung out and only damp when cleaning timber floors. Heavily wet mops cause water damage to floorboards causing them to separate or crack over time. A warm, lightly damp mop will ensure you floors dry quickly for beautiful streak-free results.

3. To clean high traffic corridors or brighten dull areas, it’s a good idea to use a product that is specifically recommended for timber and hardwood floors like the Sabco Hardwood Floor Cleaner, which is great for maintaining lustre and shine.

4. Starting at one end of a space, working the mop in an ‘s’ shape motion towards yourself and if using a floor cleaning solution, only spray in the immediate area you are cleaning in and repeat as you move along.

5. Clean up spills quickly! When a spill happens, always wipe them up immediately with a damp All-Purpose Microfibre cloth.

Tip *: To remove heavier scuffs, apply a little baking soda to a wet cloth and gently rub the mark until it disappears.
