Microfibre Selection, Use and Maintenance

Microfibre textiles offer exceptional surface contact and contamination removal and retention capabilities. They are a highly effective way to achieve superior cleaning and hygiene, with options for wet, dry, and controlled moisture cleaning. However, their effectiveness relies entirely on their proper use and management.

This hub focuses on the full lifecycle of microfibre, including validated cleaning and disinfection protocols, to ensure efficacy and prevent them becoming a source and vector of contamination. It also covers the critical need for training on microfibre use and management. We also examine the selection of microfibre textiles, their long-term cost effectiveness, and other impacts of their use related to material quality, as not all microfibre is created equal.
