What is it?
A microfibre cloth is made from fine synthetic fibres, but colour, softness or weave alone cannot reliably confirm the material.
How to identify it
Check the package, care label or product information for microfibre, microfiber or the material description. Appearance is only supporting evidence.
Common Hong Kong household uses
Dusting, damp wiping or drying where the product and surface instructions permit.
Choosing & preparing
Follow the household colour or area assignment and test the surface discreetly.
Storage
Wash according to the care label, dry fully and separate kitchen, bathroom and other-area cloths.
Helper tip
A similar-looking cloth may not be microfibre. Without a label, treat the material as unconfirmed.
