Glass Cleaning Cloths
It is often the case that the smallest, some might say most insignificant, tools deliver the biggest benefits, and if any household cleaning tool fits that bill, it is the lowly glass cleaning cloth. A glass cleaning cloth from Davis & Moore can be used to complete so many essential jobs, such as cleaning windows and mirrors, eyeglasses, screens, and glass furniture, essentially any delicate surface where you can’t afford to leave streaks, scratches or lint behind. And with glass seemingly destined to play an ever greater role in modern architecture, technology and interior design, the importance of a cost-effective cleaning solution is only likely to increase. In this article, we will explain how glass cleaning cloths work, the materials we use to manufacture them, the many benefits they deliver, and finally, how to choose and then maintain them properly.
What Are Glass Cleaning Microfibre Cloths?
A Davis & Moore glass cleaning cloth is essentially a specially designed textile which is used to clean glass and other smooth, non-porous surfaces. There are many benefits to this type of cloth versus an old-fashioned cloth or paper towel, but essentially the key benefit is that they have been engineered to lift and then trap dirt, grease and moisture as opposed to what typically happens with cloths and rags, which move the dirt around rather than removing it. A glass cleaning cloth is the ultimate solution for effective cleaning, with minimal or no chemical cleaners, which has the added benefit of making it a practical and eco-friendly option.
The most common uses for our glass cleaning cloths are on windows, mirrors, glass tables, car windscreens, camera lenses, eyeglasses, smartphone screens, and television displays. Virtually all of these surfaces are prone to streaking, which is why it is essential to use a purpose-made cloth for the job.
What Special Materials Do We Use In Cloths Designed To Clean Glass Surfaces?
Microfibre is far and away the number one material used in the manufacture of glass cleaning cloths. A synthetic fibre, which is most commonly made from a blend of polyester and polyamide (nylon). During the manufacturing process, we split the fibres to create exceedingly fine strands, often thinner than a human hair. It is this fine structure which delivers our glass cleaning cloths outstanding results.
As well as the materials that we use, the other important component of our microfibre cloths is the way in which they are woven, with each specific pattern chosen for an intended purpose. Typically, when it comes to a glass cleaning cloth, we use a tight and smooth weave, which reduces friction and prevents any lint from forming. In certain cases, we could also use a waffle weave, as this substantially increases the surface area, and in turn helps to absorb water much more efficiently.
How Do Glass Cleaning Cloths Work?
The key reason why a glass cleaning cloth is a far superior solution is in its ability to attract, trap, and then hold onto dirt, dust and moisture, almost like a magnet. This is achieved with the use of static electricity, which pulls dust and small particles from the glass surface. Due to the thousands of tiny gaps between the fibres, the debris is then trapped rather than being redistributed around the surface you are trying to clean.
Glass cleaning cloths can be used dry, and in this situation, they are best suited to dusting and polishing tasks. When slightly damp, they are perfect for removing fingerprints, smudges and grease effortlessly. And because they are so absorbent, they leave barely any moisture behind, which in turn significantly reduces streaking.
Most of our glass cleaning cloths are also designed to work with just water. This not only saves money on buying additional cleaning products, but it has the added benefit of reducing chemical residue, which over time can cause haze or even worse, a buildup of residue on your glass.
What Are The Key Benefits Of Using A Glass Cloth For Cleaning Windows
Streak Free Cleaning
The number one benefit of using a Davis & Moore cloth to clean your glass surfaces is that they deliver streak-free results. Traditional paper towels regularly leave lint behind on the glass surface and also have the potential to smear oils across the surface, leaving your windows worse than when you started the job. In contrast, a Davis & Moore glass cloth produces a clear, polished finish with minimal effort.
Durability
Another important benefit that our glass cleaning cloths deliver is durability. Our premium quality microfibre glass cleaning cloths can withstand hundreds of washes without losing their effectiveness. This makes them significantly more cost-effective over time compared to disposable cleaning products.
Environmentally Friendly
Glass cleaning cloths are also environmentally friendly, which is an extremely positive benefit in the modern world. Reusable cloths reduce waste and limit the need for chemical cleaners. For households and businesses aiming to reduce their environmental footprint, this is a significant benefit.
