Dishcloths are standard in every kitchen. They are also called dishcloths and are used to clean dishesand cutleryneeded. They must have an absorbent and soft surface so that sensitive materials are not scratched when washing. However, dishcloths are not used for daily washing, but they can be cleaned except all surfaces in the house of dirt and dust. However, microfiber dish cloths should not be used to clean high gloss surfaces. Dishcloths are made of different materials. For example, they can be made of mixed fibers, for example polyamide and microfibers, microfibers or cotton. In addition, dishcloths made of copper are offered.

The different versions of dishcloths

Many dishcloths from different manufacturers are made of blended fabric. These may be the fiber combinations cotton-viscose, polyester-cotton, viscose-polyester and polypropylene (PP) – viscose. Furthermore, there are dishcloth wipes, which are made of three or more different materials, for example made of rubber-polyester-viscose or polyethersulfone (PES) – polypropylene (PP) – viscose – cotton. Due to the different material combinations, the wipes can be optimized for special applications. The materials used give the Abwaschtüchern the desired properties, for example, grip, cooking strength and the necessary, high suction power. Dishcloths that are to be used, for example, for polishing glasses, must not lint.

In addition, dish cloths with silver particles can be bought. These dishwashing and cleaning wipes are antibacterial wipes. The silver nanoparticles that are added to these wipes release silver ions that are capable of destroying living cells. This explains the antibacterial effect of these products. Furthermore, these washing-up rags can be recommended, because they only colonize a few germs and thus avoid the formation of unpleasant odors. As a representative example, at this point the 4-pack antibacterial cleaning clothsof the supplier Olympproducts. Microfibre cloths incorporating nanosilver particles can be kept moist for up to 72 hours without increasing the number of germs on the washcloths.

Dishcloths made of cotton, for example the set Flinka dishcloth Waffle dishcloth Profi Gastro 35x35cm (10 pcs.), Offer compared to all other materials a great advantage when washing dishes. Since cotton is able to absorb large quantities of water, the dirt is also better absorbed. The waffle-like surface structure increases the surface area of ​​the wipes and increases the absorption capacity. The natural fibers are still completely biodegradable and can be washed at 95 degrees Celsius (colored cotton towels 60 degrees Celsius), so that all germs are safely killed. The only disadvantage of these dishcloths is that they can lint. Therefore, they should not be used to polish glasses.

Microfibre dishcloths, for example the set Sonty 5 pieces of sponge cloths Profi dishcloths of microfibre 18 x 19 cm green, are versatile in use in the house. They do not louse and are also suitable for polishing glass surfaces. They have a much finer surface structure at the same weight. This allows the fabric to absorb an even greater amount of water than cotton. They are easy to handle and dry very quickly after use.

Dishcloths made of blended fabric, for example, the product dishwashing cloth Orsini S – with waffle structure – 1 piece, combine the advantages of different materials. Depending on the combination of materials, they can either be washed at high temperatures, dry very quickly or are particularly absorbent.
