Microfiber cloths are essential for daily cleaning.
Microfibers are textile fibers thinner than 1 denier. This means that 9,000 meters of fiber weighs less than a gram. Microfibers are typically made from a blend of polyester and polyamide, which is then split into an extremely fine structure that offers high absorbency and cleaning power. These microfibers can then be worked into various types of microfiber cloths. There are knitted, woven, and nonwoven microfiber cloths available.

Latest circular innovation in microfiber
Greenspeed International recently announced the latest innovation in microfiber: Re-belle! Re-belle is a microfiber cloth that rebels against waste! A major innovation in the cleaning industry, contributing to circular economy objectives.
Re-belle is a microfiber cloth made from recycled PET, such as PET bottles. Just like traditional microfiber cloths, Re-belle supports effective surface cleaning using minimal water, thanks to the high-quality microfiber it's made from. This cloth offers excellent cleaning performance, high absorbency, and can be washed at least 500 times.
Re-belle follows a circular cycle, which ensures minimal waste production after heavy use. Re-belle is different, but certainly not inferior to traditional microfiber cloths. On the contrary, this cleverly designed microfiber cloth helps reduce pollution from the textile industry and cuts CO2 emissions. With 30,000 Re-belle microfiber cloths, you would save as much CO2 as a car would emit while driving around the world.
