Frequently Asked Questions The following is a description of all our products. It will provide you with information on (W) where to use; (H) how to use; and (M) maintenance, how to clean. All microfiber products require the same cleaning instructions, unless otherwise stated. ENVIROCLOTH: (rougher feeling cloth) Static electricity ad fine fibers are used for dusting. Use dampened for general cleaning and heavily soiled areas. Small sizes (14 x 14 inches) are available in 4 different colors. The large size (14 x 24 inches) is only available in blue. The envirocloth can be used on any surface using only water. This cloth will remove the dirt and dust from surfaces better than regular dusting. You will notice that surfaces that you have cleaned with this cloth will not collect dust as quickly as a piece of furniture that has not been cleaned with an envirocloth. Note: When you first clean heavily soiled areas with your cloth, you will notice a resistance when wiping with the dampened cloth. This is caused by the soil. Keep rubbing the surface until there is no longer any resistance. When the cloth glides smoothly over the surface, the surface is clean. (W): Use the cloth on all surfaces that need to be cleaned, indoors or out, which can normally be cleaned with soap and water. Use on walls, windows, floors, vehicles, electronic devices, toys, tools, shoes without polish, kitchen and bathroom areas, appliances, sinks, shower, counters and toilet. Also a great stain remover on carpets and furniture (spray with water and scrub with the cloth to remove the stain). For deeper stains, repeat the process over a week. (H): Fold the cloth twice to have the shape of a square; this will give you 8 flat surfaces to clean with. Use, flip over and continue to do this until all surfaces are used. Rinse the cloth in warm water when necessary and continue cleaning. Use dry for dusting – attracts and absorbs dust and dirt, will remove most lint and pet hair from clothes and furniture. Dampen cloth (wet, wring out well, and wipe) – removes dirt water, grease and ALL unsanitary residues leaving a bacteria free surface. On mirrors and windows, clean grime and polish with a dry polishing/window cloth. (M): To maintain your envirocloth in top condition, rinse out after use and hang to dry. When it becomes soiled, you can either rub a little dishwashing liquid through it and rinse under running water and hang to dry, or launder in your washing machine WITH NO FABRIC SOFTENER OR BLEACH. It is best not to launder them with fluffy, linty fabrics, because the microfiber will pick up the lint. WINDOW/POLISHING CLOTH: (smooth, shiny cloth) Designed to clean, dry, and polish simultaneously, trapping dirt and grime so no residue is left behind. The surface should be left clean and streak-free. If, when you are finished, you see watermarks, the cloth is too wet, or you are removing residue from old cleaners. In this situation clean window with an envirocloth first and polish with the window cloth. (W): Use on windows, mirrors, crystal, glass, brushed and stainless steel, chrome, knick-knacks and other shiny surfaces. Also is great for polishing jewelry. (H): Spray water on the surface to be cleaned and wipe dry. For more soiled surfaces, clean with a damp envirocloth then polish with a dry window cloth. (M): To maintain your polishing cloth in top condition, when it becomes soiled, you can either rub a little dishwashing liquid through it and rinse under running water and hang to dry, or launder in your washing machine WITH NO FABRIC SOFTENER OR BLEACH. It is best not to launder them with fluffy, linty fabrics, because the microfiber will pick up the lint. DUSTING MITT Fibers are woven into a higher pile for a higher static charge. The microfiber mitt has a greater surface area, to collect and hold more dust and water than the envirocloth. (W): Use on any surface that requires dusting. Great for mini-blinds, fans, and hard to reach places. Use to dry showers and tubs after bathing to prevent water stains. (H): Use dry only. (M): When soiled, launder with NO BLEACH OR FABRIC SOFTENERS in your washing machine. CAR CLOTH: (grey, shiny cloth) Tightly woven cloth prevents grit from being trapped in the fibers. (W): Use on less dirty surfaces first such as car windows; mirrors and chrome. Then move onto dirtier surfaces, dashboard and other interior surfaces, and lastly the car exterior. (H): Spray water on the surface, and then wipe off with dry cloth. The car cloth works like a chamois after normal washing, it will polish to a brilliant shine. You may have to remove residues from previous cleaners first with the envirocloth. (M): To maintain your envirocloth in top condition, rinse out after use and hang to dry. When it becomes soiled, you can either rub a little dishwashing liquid through it and rinse under running water and hang to dry, or launder in your washing machine WITH NO FABRIC SOFTENER OR BLEACH. It is best not to launder them with fluffy, linty fabrics, because the microfiber will pick up the lint. ENVIRO TOWEL & SPORT TOWEL: (fine weave, suede feel) Suede microfiber which is very compact, wet or dry, and super absorbent. Dries quickly. This towel will dry and clean at the same time. Effectively removes water from all surfaces even when damp. Use for sports towel, hair towel, drying dishes, or for dusting highly polished surfaces without streaks. (W): For use on any surface that requires polishing. (H): Use with water only. (M): Launder in your washing machine with NO FABRIC SOFTENERS OR BLEACH. OPTIC CLOTH: (small flat weave microfiber in a carrying case) (W): Eyeglasses, CD’s, camera lenses, DVDs photos before scanning, LCD screens, computer screens, etc. (H): Moisten with breath or water, then wipe dry. (M): To clean, rinse with water and hang to dry. Clean often, as dust particles left on cloth could scratch the surface MOP PACKAGES; SUPERIOR AND REGULAR: (Package includes a telescopic, ergonomically correct handle, rustproof base, one wet and one dry mop pad. Each piece may be purchased separately, as well) DRY MOP: Employing static electricity, the mop attracts dust, dirt and hair which stay in the mop instead of circulating through the air. Always use the dry mop before using the wet mop. (W): On floors, ceilings and walls. Extensive use of the dry mop will preserve your hardwood and tile floors. It reduces wear and tear on waxed surfaces as well. (H): Begin mopping around the edges of the room and walk your way towards the center, moving the mop in a figure 8. This will allow only one side of the mop to fill with dirt first. When it is not longer picking up the dirt, turn to the other side and continue in the same manner. Use a wet envirocloth to pick up the debris, no longer needing a dust pan. (M): Shake outside to remove dust and debris, or use the rubber brush to remove particles from the mop. When soiled, launder, as with the other products. WET MOP: The blue color is the identifier as the wet mop. Removes dirt, scuffmarks, grime, sticky messes, grease, and micro-organisms and build-up of old floor cleaners. (W): On all smooth, washable surfaces; windows, ceilings walls, hardwood, laminate, marble, tile, slate, etc. (H): Moisten with clean water and wring out. Place onto the Velcro mop base. You can also spray the surface with water and mop, this will prevent streaking on high polished flooring. For difficult stains or tough dirt, wet the mop, spray the surface with water, and rub vigorously. (M): To maintain your mop in top condition, rinse out after use and hang to dry. When it becomes soiled, you can either rub a little dishwashing liquid through it and rinse under running water and hang to dry, or launder in your washing machine WITH NO FABRIC SOFTENER OR BLEACH. MOP BRACKETS These snap onto the mop base to secure the car/window cloth, or envirocloth to the mop base (over the regular mop pad) (W): Hard to reach places, indoor/outdoor windows. Clean with the wet mop first, then attach the polishing cloth with the brackets and dry to a streak-free shine. The mop telescopes out to reach high windows. Can also be used to polish high shine floors. Be sure to secure the mop head with the built-in lever to prevent the mop head from swiveling. RUBBER STATIC BRUSH: Removes hair, lint and dust from furniture, carpeted stairs, and the dry mop pad. (W): After sweeping with your microfiber mop, brush off the dry mop with the rubber static brush. Use on the furniture to remove pet hair and lint. (M): Rinse under warm water to clean. SPRAY BOTTLE: Water bottle with an adjustable nozzle; stream or spray. (W): Can be used for the application of Odor Eliminator. Also used for spraying water on the floor for mopping. The dry mop pad can be misted to do laminate flooring. This will prevent too much moisture from getting on the floor, and prevent any streaking. (M): Rinse the bottle each time it becomes empty. MICRO PAD: (white with grey sponge pad) Twenty-five times more effective for deep cleaning than the envirocloth. Chemical-free sponge with a lightly abrasive surface (similar to Mr. Clean’s Magic Eraser). This product is meant to disintegrate. The white outer layers are the cleaning part of this product. The grey is there to hold it together. (W): Use on walls, removes crayon with ease. Also on office equipment, floors, outdoor furniture, metal. Use caution when using on painted and wood surfaces. Paint may be removed and the shine will fade when used on a polished wood floor. DO NOT USE ON AUTO PAINT, POLISHED/GLOSSY SURFACES, OR BRUSHED, SATIN OR DARK FAUX FINISHES. (H): Dip in warm water, squeeze to excess water out, then scrub the surface to be cleaned. To get the most out of the Micro Pad, cut the sponge into four or six pieces. DISHCLOTH: (white netted cloth with a loose weave) (W): Can be used to wash dishes, and anywhere else where a scrubbing action is required. Use with soapy water. This cloth sheds water rather than retaining it. (M): Can be used for long periods of time as the water will not stand in the cloth, allowing the cloth to breathe preventing the stinky dish cloth problem. KITCHEN CLOTH: (waffle weave microfiber designed to clean grease and debris from cooking) (W): Use on counters, backsplash, appliances and cupboards. (H): Designed for use with water only.
