Types, advantages and disadvantages of microfiber towels

Now the light industry, like any other, is trying to "keep up" with innovative technologies. Therefore, it uses a large number of unusual materials with improved properties. Among them, microfiber is especially worth noting. It is a fabric that is made from polyester fibers. In some cases, it can also be polyamide or any other polymers. Recently, towels have been made from such material, the varieties, advantages and disadvantages of which we will talk about in this article.

Microfiber towels are produced in different colors, in addition, they have different sizes and purposes. A microfiber towel is different from similar, but made from a different material. To begin with, it is worth considering its main positive aspects.

• Low weight. If you compare a towel made of ordinary material with one made of microfiber, then its weight will be several times lighter. For comparison, an example can be given: a terry towel measuring 300 millimeters by 600 millimeters will weigh up to 200 grams, but made of microfiber only 38 grams.
• Takes up little space. It's pretty compact. For example, a bath towel can be rolled up to be the size of a fist. Therefore, you can take it with you either on a hike or on a trip.
• Short drying time. It can be dried literally in 25-30 minutes, especially if the weather is sunny or windy.

• Absorbs moisture well. Although microfiber towels take up very little space, they can still be dried dry.
• Convenience and ease of use. If these are travel towels, then they can easily be put in a bag pocket or simply hung on your belt using a cover.
• Hygiene. Some manufacturers treat the materials used in towels with silver ions, which prevent bacteria from growing.
• Hypoallergenic. The products do not cause allergies, as they do not contain harmful particles.
• Long time towels remain in good condition.

However, despite the large number of advantages, such material still has some disadvantages:

• when drying in nature, you should not hang the towel very close to the fire, otherwise it may melt;
• it will not be able to warm you, unlike a terry towel.

In the modern world, a microfiber towel is quite popular. People use it in different areas of their life. For example, for visiting the beach and pool, drying hair, swimming, using in the kitchen, as well as for various types of cleaning, including washing cars. However, towels are most often used for tourism as well as travel.

These types of towels are most often sold in covers. They can be easily folded and placed either in a bag, on a belt, or simply tucked away in a pocket. In addition, the towel is easily washed even in very cold water. It is also quick-drying, which is very convenient for use on a hike.

Nowadays, microfiber towels are often used by athletes. Such a product is rather thin, so it can even fit in a small purse. At the same time, there will be plenty of space for other items. This is important for those people who go in for sports, because many after the gym immediately go to work or just sit with friends.

This type of towel will come in handy for all lovers of summer vacations. It is easy to clean, so you can even use it as a replacement for a sun lounger. Well, or just wipe it dry so that wet skin does not "burn out" in the sun.

Similar to gym towels, these can also be stowed in even the smallest gym bag. Due to the busy work schedule, it is most often possible to go to the pool only in the morning, before work. If you choose such a towel with you, then it will not take up much space in your business portfolio.

When you come to take a steam bath, you need to leave your things in the dressing room. Therefore, the bath towel must be such that it can be easily hung on a hanger. It is for this purpose that it has either Velcro or buttons. In addition, with the help of these "clips" they can be fixed to the body. This means that the towel will definitely not slip off the steamed body at the most inopportune moment.

These towels are often bought for the kitchen. After all, they not only absorb moisture well, but also wash well. In addition, they dry very quickly, so you can wash them even several times a day.

Due to its softness, the towel is often used for cleaning. It does not scratch absolutely any surfaces and perfectly absorbs moisture. Therefore, both housewives and motorists buy it in the car. A thin high-quality microfiber towel can be used to wipe the door of an expensive car, window panes and mirrors. They will not have any scratches or ugly stains.

Choosing a towel made from microfiber is still very careful.First of all, it must be suitable for the fulfillment of the chosen goal. That is, if a towel is needed to wipe the dishes, then some more compact option is worth choosing. It is more convenient to work with it, and it takes up less space above the table.

Something bigger is already being bought for the hall or the pool. Such a towel should be convenient for a person to dry off. As for those products that are chosen for the beach or going to the sauna, there is generally no need to save money. It should be easy to wrap up in a microfiber product. Besides, it is important that it is pleasant to the touch, because this will overestimate the comfortable rest.

Microfiber towels are not picky at all, so they do not require special care. You can wash them in any way, that is, you can safely use both the manual and machine washing method. However, the water temperature should not exceed 40 degrees.

In addition, you can use regular laundry soap and powder. The only thing that you should not do is to use products in granules, as well as those products that contain chlorine. The best option is gentle care products. Also, no need to use air conditioners. After all, then the towels will not absorb moisture so well and resist bacteria.

It is better to use a regular rope for drying. Do not dry them over a fire or on electrical appliances, because as a result they will simply melt. If the item is washed at home, then it is quite possible to use an electric dryer. Either way, the towel will dry very quickly. Also microfiber towels cannot be ironed for the same reason. In addition, the fabric practically does not wrinkle, so there is no particular need for this.

If we consider most of the reviews about microfiber towels, then the reviews are most often positive. Many people note the ease of care, the compactness of microfiber products, as well as ease of use. Those people who have already bought these towels have already made sure that such material does not fade or deform even after a long time. In addition, towels dry very quickly and, despite their compactness, absorb moisture well.

Buyers note that there are practically no shortcomings in such products, therefore they recommend buying such textiles to their friends and acquaintances. Especially those who are fond of tourism or any kind of outdoor activity. The microfiber product allows you to comfortably survive any journey and outdoor activity. Summing up, we can say that such towels are practical and convenient to use both in everyday life and in extreme conditions.
