It is a synthetic fiber made up of a blend of polyester and microfiber polymer which form a strand so small the human eye can barely see it. The strand appears star-shaped under a microscope. Those strands are then split into ultra-fine fibers, each about one-sixteenth the size of a human hair. The process used to split the strand creates a positive electric static charge which causes dirt, with its negative charge, to cling to dry cloths. The more strands, the better the attraction. The dirt is trapped until the microfiber is washed, or shaken vigorously-for larger particles. Fabric softener, meant to stop static cling, therefore reduces cleaning ability. We selected an extremely high quality, plush cloth which has a very high attraction to dirt particles.
