The magic sponge is certainly very effective, but it has a high cost and it wears out very quickly. It is therefore better to adopt your alternative.
The secret of the success of the magic sponge? Its ability to erase stubborn stains without effort. It works without chemical, just with a little water, and makes the brands disappear on the walls, doors or worktops. But despite its effectiveness, it has a big defect: it wears out very quickly. After a few uses, it disintegrates and must be replaced, which makes it not very durable and not very ecological. Fortunately, there is an even more efficient alternative, which cleans just as well, but which lasts much longer.
This simple and reusable accessory is capable of cleaning almost all surfaces effortlessly. It removes stains, dust and even fingerprints without chemical product and without damaging the materials. In addition, it lasts much longer than the magic sponge and can be washed and reused several times without losing its effectiveness. This ally of daily cleaning is the microfiber cloth and it may well become essential for your routine provided you know how to use it.
For the cloth as effective as a magic sponge, you must above all choose a quality model with very tight and soft fibers. As with magic eraser, microfiber works better humid. Pass it under lukewarm water, wipe it well, then clean the surface. To remove the stubborn spots, rub by making small circles, without pressing too much. On fragile surfaces, use light pressure to avoid traces. Then use the dry side for the finishes.
Keep in mind that a clean cloth is much more effective. To maintain all the efficiency of your microfiber cloth, maintenance is essential. Wash it in machine at 40 ° C maximum, without softening or bleach because these products can clog fibers and reduce their cleaning power. Favor drying in the open air rather than dryer to avoid damaging the fibers. A little extra: add a little white vinegar to the washing cycle to disinfect naturally and keep the cloth fresh.
Even if the microfiber cloth is robust, some precautions are to be taken. Avoid using it on very hot surfaces (such as still hot cooking plates), as the fibers could melt. Also do it use it with solvents or aggressive chemicals, which can damage its texture and cleaning properties.
