(Australia-NewsWire.Com, June 20, 2015 ) Melbourne, Victoria -- Tasajee introduced a new line of microfiber travel and sports towels to the market in March 2015. Microfiber has specific qualities which make it attractive for certain tasks. Good quality microfiber will be both highly hydrophilic as well as lyophilic. The former means the fabric has a chemical affinity to water, making it highly moisture absorbent. The latter means the fabric should attract oil, grease and grime, and trap it within the fibers until washed out.
Most microfiber fabric blends are able to collect up far more particles of dirt and bacteria compared to cotton towels, and microfiber typically exhibits a 95% release rate of these particles when washed. Unlike cotton, microfiber fabric does not promote the growth of trapped bacteria, will not generate lint, and is generally antagonistic towards odor causing germs.
Tasajee have provided a number of consumer tips on their website on how to care for microfiber towel fabric. These are important to ensure towel durability, and to preserve the microfiber fabric's unique cleaning and absorption properties. To avoid lint from other fabrics from embedding within the microfiber slits, these towels should be washed and dried separately from non-microfiber fabrics. Microfiber is also heat sensitive, and exposure to high temperatures may inhibit and damage its absorption and drying properties. Therefore, one should avoid washing, tumble-drying or ironing the fabric at temperatures above 140°F or 60°C.
Air-drying is really the best way to dry microfiber. It can be wrung out to 90% dry and the remaining moisture will evaporate quickly if hung out in a low humidity environment. Tasajee microfiber towels can either be machine or hand washed as long as the temperatures are below 140°F or 60°C.
Liquid detergents should be used in place of powder, and one should not add any bleach or alkali-chemicals. Further, one should avoid using fabric softener and self-softening detergents, as these can clog the fine slits within the microfibers that are needed to collect oils, dirt and moisture. If all these guidelines are followed by the consumer and they look after their microfiber towel, then the towel can typically be washed up to 1000 times without any loss of efficiency.
Tasajee microfiber towels are available on both Amazon.com (USA) and Amazon.ca (Canada).
