Recent years have seen a groundswell of innovation throughout hospitality, healthcare and commercial facilities in a bid to help improve sustainable practices. Now cleaning products company Freudenberg, under the brand Oates, has launched its first recycled cleaning cloth, the r-MicroLife.
Made from 100% recycled postconsumer polyester, this newly designed cloth is just as much of a workhorse as its original virgin fibre sibling, but with the added benefit of being sustainably produced.
Suitable for a range of cleaning applications, r-MicroLife is a microfibre cloth which will comfortably take care of spillages and stubborn dirt without the need for chemicals. Due to its increased thickness, it has a very high particle pick up, while its durability and longevity are second to none, with the cloth able to withstand up to 500 washes. With each cloth created out of two polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, Oates has developed a product which blends inventiveness with superior cleaning quality, picking up a Nordic Swan nod (the official sustainability ecolabel for products in Nordic countries) in the process. This is a microfibre cloth that possesses the kind of versatility which ensures it can be used wet or dry and on just about any kind of surface: on vinyl surfaces, for instance, it’s been shown to remove up to 99.99% of bovine coronavirus germs.
Suitable for the pre-prepared method as well as for bucket and spray wiping, the r-MicroLife is available in four different colours – perfect for colour-coding if you’re cleaning numerous surfaces and attacking a mix of dirt and spillages. This is cleaning done the sustainable way.
