What are Universal Cloths made from?

Both Universal Cloths and Glass Cloths are made from the same 84% polyester and 16% polyamide microfibre blend. The polyester provides strength and scrubbing power; the polyamide adds softness and water absorbency. Together they lift dirt and grime without harsh chemicals or scratching surfaces.

The blend

84% polyester gives the cloth structure and durability, so it holds shape through thousands of washes. 16% polyamide gives the fibres their grip and absorbency, so they trap dirt and water rather than push it around. The split-fibre weave creates millions of tiny hooks that physically grab onto grime, which is why microfibre cleans effectively with just water on most surfaces.

What's the GSM difference between Universal Cloths and Glass Cloths?

Universal Cloths are 420 GSM (grams per square metre) for thicker, plusher cleaning power across benches, tiles, and sinks. Glass Cloths are 300 GSM with a tighter weave that glides smoothly over glass and mirrors for a streak-free finish. Same microfibre blend, different weight for different jobs.
