The microfiber’s cleaning surface is packed with filaments that trap soil, remove bacteria and absorb moisture for streak-free cleaning.Why a Grading System?
The range of cleaning products that microfiber may be used for is dictated by many qualities, including fiber thickness, length, finishing, abrasiveness, absorbency, cloth dimension, edging and quality manufacturing techniques.Unger has established several performance factors that have been tested, measured and validated by ASTM independent laboratories and other US standard industry tests.
