Cleaning tips: what not to clean with microfiber cloths

Understanding the specific recommendations for the proper use of cleaning products is important for maintaining the order and durability of various surfaces. UAportal has prepared valuable information on the effective use of microfiber wipes.

Use on delicate surfaces

Microfiber cloths should not be used on delicate surfaces such as hardwood floors, marble countertops, or antique furniture. These surfaces can be easily scratched or damaged by the abrasive material of the wipe. It is important to remember to use mild, non-abrasive cleaners for such delicate surfaces.

On electronics

When cleaning electronics, such as computer screens, TVs, or smartphones, it is best to avoid using microfiber cloths. After all, the small fibers of the fabric can leave scratches on the screen, degrading the quality of the image on the display. It is important to use specially designed wipes for cleaning electronics.

Waxed surfaces

Waxed surfaces, such as car bodywork or furniture with a protective wax finish, should not be cleaned with microfiber cloths. The abrasiveness of the cloth may remove the protective coating. It is recommended to use a soft sponge to clean the waxed surface.

Avoid use on hot surfaces

Ensure that microfiber cloths are never used on hot surfaces such as stoves or hot pans. The high temperature can cause the microfibers to melt or stick to the surface, potentially causing damage and making cleaning more difficult.
