About Norwex > Microfiber 101 > How Norwex Microfiber Works

Microfiber is the perfect blend of polyester and polyamide. This fiber is 1/100th the size of a strand of human hair. When this high quality microfiber is combined with the right knitting process, it creates an extremely effective cleaning material. This material can hold up to seven times its weight in water. Unlike many other types of cloth that smear dirt across the surface you are trying to clean, microfiber cloths act like bionic sponges removing the dirt and bacteria to leave you with a clean, polished surface.
