Microfaser vs Baumwolle Spannbetttuch

Microfiber fitted sheet versus Cotton fitted sheet

What is microfiber and why does it out perform cotton?

Polyester and polyamide are very fine threads which create the high quality microfiber towels we use today. Described to be hundred times thinner than a single strand of human hair and ten times finer than silk; microfibers are extremely fine compared to that of a cotton strand. Polyester is a lyophillic polymer or has affinity to oil that allows oil to cling directly to the fibers fast. On the other hand, water also easily adheres to microfiber since it is hydrophilic. Microfiber works well in storing dirt and dust at the same time, absorbs water tremendously even up to seven times or 600% its weight in liquids, dirt and other elements. Dirt particles cling, and are attracted to the finely wedged shaped fibers of microfiber, where as a cotton fitted sheet only pushes dirt and dust from one place or another. Such great characteristics allow microfiber fitted sheet to quickly remove dirt and leave surfaces completely clean.

Microfiber out performs cotton because of its admirable polyester and polyamide fibers that are strong and ensure durability. It's resistance to stretching and shrinking that guarantees shape retention. Other than that, it is also wrinkle, mildew, abrasion resistant due to its highly elasticity. Moreover, it is resistant to most chemicals, retains heat-set pleats and crease, and is easily washed even only with clear water or mild soapy water. In comparison to cotton, a microfiber will absorb 98% moisture, while cotton can only absorb at best 70%.

Microfiber consists of very fine polyester and polyamide fibers that execute to be excellent dust and dirt eliminators, quick and effective absorbers, easy drying, environmentally friendly and ensure minimal usage of chemicals creating the ultimate, cost effective cleaning cloth. With microfiber you get rid with the typical bulky cotton fitted sheet which only pushes away dirt instead of ideally cleaning the surfaces. Say goodbye to dirt, germs, dust and bacteria and try microfiber.
