is microfiber as absorbent as cotton
Microfiber is a synthetic material usually made from polyester and nylon. One way it differs from traditional cotton cloths is that the fibers are split to be over 100 times thinner than a human hair. This creates a larger volume of surface area making microfiber more absorbent than a cotton cloth the same size. Microfiber is also great for cleaning because it has a positive charge, which attracts negatively charged dirt and grease.
