How to choose the right cloth for cleaning the floor?

Washing floors is a time-consuming but necessary task that takes a lot of time and effort. Floor cleanliness depends largely on the right equipment and, most importantly, the right cloth. How to choose a floor cleaning cloth and ensure your home, apartment, office, or store stays clean and fresh for a long time – here are some helpful tips from experienced cleaning professionals.

Which cloth will clean your floors best?

Small amounts of dirt, dust, or debris can be removed with a small cloth, but effective floor cleaning requires a larger cloth with good absorption properties. The main criterion for choosing the right cloth is the material it's made from.

DeviSan floor cleaning cloths are made from:

• microfiber – a synthetic material consisting of polyester and polyamide microfibers. Microfiber floor cloths attract dust well, absorb a lot of water, are long-lasting, and leave no streaks on the surface.
• viscose – a composite synthetic material made from wood pulp. Viscose cloths are soft and eco-friendly, absorb dirty water well, and are ideal for cleaning delicate flooring.
• cotton – these floor cloths absorb moisture well and are ideal for cleaning large rooms and areas, but may shrink over time.

Cleaning professionals recommend using soft microfiber cloths for cleaning parquet and laminate floors – they won't scratch even the softest wood. Viscose cloths are best for ceramic tiles and natural stone (marble, granite), while cotton cloths are a universal solution for all types of surfaces, including open terraces, balconies, and loggias.
