Care and Maintenance of Microfiber Cleaning Products

If the towel/wiper/pad becomes too dirty, it will also begin to “streak”. It is then time to wash the towel. This is easily done by just throwing the towel, or any other microfiber cleaning product, into any washing machine and laundering with any soap or detergent you prefer.

A word of caution here; experience tells me you should be careful of the additives in our detergent as they tend to build up in the microfiber, reducing its’ ability to perform as intended. The other restriction in the wash cycle is to NEVER use any type of FABRIC SOFTENER.

The towel will treat the fabric softener as if it was dirt. It will try to store the tiny particles of the softener in the towel fibers and may cause the towel to be less effective. The use of any POLISHES will result in the same issues.

Microfiber does not MOVE the dirt or dust. It actually tries to trap it, and this means a microfiber product will “fill up” periodically. This dirt and dust is released in water and soap. Soap helps release the greasy part of the build-up. If the fiber is being used with water, it must be rinsed and wrung out periodically for best performance.

Remember, the microfiber is trying to trap and remove dirt and dust, and it should not be used to mop a whole floor or clean a whole room. The skill comes with knowing when to change out or rinse out the microfiber tool.

Beyond Clean With Dave

14 LIVE SHOWS AND COUNTING

Bobby Zagers and I talked about producing this LIVE, Internet show and how many shows to have, back last October 2016 and now it’s April and the first three months of 2017 have been, well, both challenging and rewarding.

The production staff never really knew what they were getting thrown into, how to do what we wanted, or if there was time to get it done.  However, they have DONE IT!

14 shows have been produced, some better than others, but all have been viewed by the public with great responses.  How do I know that?  This past Friday, an hour before going on the show, a client in the Orlando store stopped to tell me, “Your doing a good job on the show.  I watch it every week.  Keep up the good work.”

If you are one of those weekly watchers, THANK YOU.  If you haven’t yet, go to BeyondCleanWithDave.com and catch up.  Don’t miss the Gallery as there are pics of how we have changed the educational room/studio and all the things we do with the Academy of Cleaning Excellence.

My three words for not only my show, but everything we do at the Academy is HEALTHY, POSITIVE and PROACTIVE.

If your message fits, I would love to have you come on the show.  Please contact me.

Come to learn, leave to teach others.
