Top 10 Questions Answered About The i-fibre Microfiber Cleaning System from i-team

Microfiber cleaning systems have brought a significant transformation to the world of cleaning, offering a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach to maintaining our homes and workplaces.

The i-fibre is a standout example of this revolutionary technology, boasting an innovative design that simplifies cleaning while delivering impeccable results. In this article, we will delve into the top 10 questions people commonly have about the i-fibre range, providing comprehensive answers to help you further understand this cleaning solution.

What is the i-fibre microfiber cleaning system? 

The i-fibre is a microfiber cleaning system that consists of specially designed microfiber cleaning cloths, mop frames and pads, hand-held tools, handles and pre-treatment buckets. The microfibre cloths are engineered to capture and hold onto dirt, dust, and grime more effectively than traditional cleaning materials because of its Trio-Split technology. This means that during the manufacturing process, the fibres are split three times instead of once like other microfibre cloths. The Trio-Split Technology ensures that the i-fibre captures maximum dust particles, preventing them from becoming airborne and impacting indoor air quality (IAQ).

The i-fibre system comes with numerous accessories including handles, frames, cloths, pads and dusting wands so that it can be used to clean numerous surfaces including floors, walls, counter tops and many other hard to reach surfaces. Instead of using a velcro system, the i-fibre also uses a pocket system to secure it in place to the frame as it is less likely to wear as quickly over time.

For more information on the i-fibre range you can watch our YouTube video here or below for a thorough overview.

How does the i-fibre work?

The i-fibre system works by utilizing the electrostatic properties of microfiber. Each microfiber strand has a positive charge, which attracts and holds onto negatively charged particles, such as dust and dirt. This means that the i-fibre system can effectively clean surfaces without the need for harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.

Are there different types of i-fibre cleaning cloths?

Yes, the i-fibre system offers a range of cleaning cloths designed for various surfaces and purposes. Our i-fibre cloths are also colour coded to prevent cross contamination within different spaces.
