Microfibre Cloth 1 Number

Instant Dirt, Dust & Grime Removal
Ultra-fine microfibre filaments physically lift and trap dirt, dust, and grime on contact — removing surface contamination in fewer strokes and with less effort than conventional cleaning cloths.
Lint-Free & Scratch-Free
Leaves zero lint residue and introduces zero surface scratches on even the most sensitive high-gloss surfaces — paint, glass, chrome, mirrors, and polished plastic — making it safe for repeated use on automotive and optical surfaces where surface integrity is critical.
High Water & Dirt Holding Capacity
Microfibre structure holds significantly more water and dirt per gram of cloth weight than conventional cotton — allowing larger surface areas to be cleaned or dried per cloth before saturation, and reducing the frequency of cloth changes in high-volume cleaning tasks.
Odour-Free
Manufactured to be odour-neutral — no chemical processing smell, no textile manufacturing residue — ensuring no unwanted fragrance transfer onto cleaned surfaces or into enclosed spaces such as car interiors.
Excellent Hygiene
Microfibre's physical dirt-trapping mechanism captures and retains bacteria, allergens, and fine particulates within the cloth body rather than redistributing them across surfaces — delivering a hygienically superior clean compared to conventional wipe cloths in home, office, and institutional environments.
Broad Surface Compatibility
Safe and effective across vinyl, plastic, chrome, glass, mirrors, painted surfaces, laminated surfaces, and leather — one cloth across the full range of surfaces encountered in automotive detailing, home cleaning, and professional facility maintenance.
Multi-Environment Application
Suitable across automotive detailing, home cleaning, office maintenance, schools, institutions, hotels, and hospitals — a universal cleaning tool that delivers professional-grade results across every environment.

For most surfaces and applications, the Soltek Microfibre Cloth requires no specific technique — simply wipe the surface with light to moderate pressure. A few application notes for best results:
For dry dusting and light cleaning — use the cloth dry. The microfibre structure generates a slight static charge during use that attracts and captures fine dust particles effectively without any moisture or cleaning agent.
For wet cleaning and washing — dampen the cloth with water or with the appropriate Soltek surface care product for the surface being cleaned. Wring out excess moisture before use on sensitive surfaces to prevent water streaking.
For drying after washing — use the cloth dry and allow it to absorb surface water in gentle, overlapping strokes rather than dragging across the surface — this prevents water streaking and eliminates the risk of reintroducing dirt from cloth drag.

For applying and buffing Soltek detailing products — use as directed in the specific product's application instructions. For products such as Cockpit Shine, Multi Shine, and Tyre Sheen, the microfibre cloth is the recommended finishing cloth for removing excess product and achieving an even, streak-free result.

Care Instructions: Machine wash separately at 40°C without fabric softener — fabric softener coats microfibre filaments and permanently reduces absorbency and cleaning effectiveness. Do not tumble dry on high heat. Air dry or low-heat tumble dry. Do not iron.

Q: Can the Soltek Microfiber Cloth be used on car paint without causing scratches?
Yes. The ultra-fine microfiber filaments are soft enough to clean and dry painted automotive surfaces — including clear coat finishes — without introducing scratches or swirl marks, provided the cloth is clean and free of embedded grit before use on paint surfaces.

Q: Why should I avoid fabric softener when washing microfiber cloths?
Fabric softener deposits a thin waxy coating on textile fibres that clogs the microfibre filament structure — permanently reducing the cloth's absorbency and its ability to physically lift and trap dirt. Always wash microfibre cloths without fabric softener to maintain full performance.

Q: How many times can a Soltek Microfiber Cloth be washed and reused?
High-quality microfibre cloths maintain their cleaning effectiveness for 500+ wash cycles when laundered correctly — without fabric softener, at low to medium temperatures, and without high-heat tumble drying. Correct washing practice is the primary determinant of microfibre cloth longevity.

Q: Can I use one microfiber cloth for both interior and exterior automotive cleaning?
It is recommended to use separate cloths for interior and exterior applications. Exterior cleaning cloths pick up road grime, brake dust, and abrasive particles that can scratch interior surfaces — particularly dashboards and screen surfaces — if the same cloth is reused inside the vehicle without thorough washing between uses.

Q: Is the Soltek Microfiber Cloth suitable for cleaning glass and mirrors without streaking?
Yes. Used dry or with a minimal amount of water, the lint-free microfiber construction cleans glass and mirror surfaces to a streak-free finish without the lint residue and streaking associated with conventional cotton cloths and paper towels.
