Specification for Microfiber Cleaning Cloths

02/21/2013 8:32 AM

I need to write a specification to have microfiber cloths manufactured in another country

I understand the wicker of the cloth is related to the denier and the tightness of the weave

However I don't understand how to specify the difference between a smooth surface microfiber cleaning cloth for mirrors and glass

and the more texturised surface of the general purpose microfiber cleaning cloth

If you have one or two that you like, ask the maker(s) to send you sample specifications. You might find a site that reviews various makes and get a few names.

That way, you can make sure that you specify something that can be delivered.
