It’s no secret that cleaning is a dirty job, but why make it messier than it has to be?  When you use a cloth to wipe your kitchen counter, you don’t want to use the same one to clean the mirror in your bathroom. Keeping all those rags and sponges straight is a challenge, but you don’t want to use a whole kitchen roll every time you clean your home. The reusable simplehuman microfibre mitt kit helps cut down on waste while saving time – and your sanity – with four mitts clearly labelled and designed to clean a variety of home surfaces: glass & mirror, TV & computer, general kitchen, and stainless steel.

Commercial Director Kevin Clark explains: “It’s important to have the right tools for the job and cleaning your home is no exception. Our microfibre mitts are clearly labelled, so you won’t end up dusting down your electricals with the same cloth that cleans the kitchen sink. Also, each mitt is specially woven to clean a specific surface, so they’re more effective than standard cleaning cloths.”

Eco-friendly microfibre is a highly absorbent material ideal for cleaning a variety of surfaces. Microfibre is constructed of ultra fine fibres that are one hundred times thinner than a human hair. These ultra thin fibers are densely woven to create a thick, supple material that is both durable and absorbent. The softness of microfibre makes it extremely gentle, so it won’t scratch steel or delicate surfaces.

Different weaves of microfibre create different textures for optimal cleaning of various surfaces. For example, the microfibre mitt for stainless steel is specially woven to allow the fibers to get deeper into the grooved surfaces for a thorough cleaning. A broad, waffled texture effectively cleans your kitchen surfaces, while a fine, delicate weave is ideal for computer screens. Each mitt has a clearly marked label to make it easy to keep track of which surface it was designed to clean.

Unlike standard cloths, the microfibre mitt is a comfortable two-sided mitt shape. Simply dampen one side of the mitt with water, and use the other, dry side to buff and polish. Afterwards, the mitt can be thrown in the washing machine or just left to dry.
