Microfibre or Cotton?
It doesn’t matter if your cleaning cloths and mop heads are made from microfiber materials or from traditional cotton fibers, the PW 5064 can handle both. Microfiber cloths absorb water and hold dirt differently than cotton cloths and the Mop Washer can adjust accordingly - adapting the wash process to this type of fabric at the touch of a button.

Microfiber mops are becoming more popular in the cleaning industry because the material offers substantial benefits over cotton. First, the density of the tiny fibers makes the material very absorbent and it has a positive charge that attracts dust (which has a negative charge).
Traditionally more expensive than cotton mops, microfiber mops and cloths are also more durable. They provide a great sustainable alternative to traditional cotton mops as they use less water and chemicals. To keep the microfiber at peak performance and increase its longevity, it must be laundered properly.
Most manufacturer’s suggest: Several pre-rinses, a Long main wash at 160°F, followed by additional rinses and extraction at highest speed.
What damages microfiber? Harsh chemicals, bleach and fabric softener damage microfiber. Machine drying can also damage microfiber if the drying temperature is too hot. A good extraction with high spin speeds at the end of the wash cycle helps to reduce or eliminate the drying step.
