microfiber

Microfiber is made from very small fibers, invented in 1986 it is a polyester from petrol constructed with "Microfiber" and nylon, nylon in this case is very important, as it is the one that holds the piece of cloth from tearing apart. There is a fine line for adding nylon, add too much, and it could scratch the surface you are trying to clean, too little and it might be very fragile.

Microfiber has the remarkable ability to clean and dry surfaces incredibly quickly, and it is used in swimming towels and is useful for cleaning wet exteriors such as cars after a wash, and on computers and screens, eyeglasses, etc.

If dampened with water or a cleaning solution, as these are washable, they are reusable, unlike something like paper kitchen towels, but the more nylon you put, the less it picks up liquids, so take the one that best fits your needs.
