Commonly used materials
Creative Muse Handmade commonly use 100% cotton Fabrics, bamboo, microfibre and PUL.
What is PUL?
PUL fabric is a type of laminated fabric. PUL stands for Polyurethane Laminate. It can be pronounced either P-U-L or "pull". PUL Fabric is water resistant, so it is ideal for the outside of cloth nappies, nappy covers, wetbags, change mats etc.
What is Microfiber?
Microfiber is a synthetic material made from a blend of polyester and polyamide (nylon). It is known for its incredibly fine fibres, which are much thinner than human hair. These fine fibres create a large surface area, which gives microfiber its exceptional cleaning abilities.
Benefits of microfiber for cleaning:
-
Superior Absorption: Microfiber has excellent absorbency, making it effective for picking up and trapping dirt, dust, and liquids.
-
Effective Cleaning: The fine fibres can easily reach and lift particles from surfaces without the need for chemical cleaners, often requiring only water.
-
Lint-Free: Microfiber is less likely to leave behind lint or streaks, making it ideal for cleaning glass, mirrors, and other smooth surfaces.
-
Durability: Microfiber is generally durable and can withstand multiple washes, maintaining its cleaning performance over time.
What is Bamboo Fabric?
Bamboo fabric is derived from bamboo fibres and is considered a more sustainable and eco-friendly option compared to traditional textiles. The bamboo fibres are processed and woven into fabric.
Benefits of bamboo fabric for cleaning:
-
Eco-Friendly: Bamboo is a renewable resource that grows quickly and requires minimal water and pesticides. This makes bamboo fabric a more sustainable choice.
-
Antibacterial Properties: Bamboo fibers naturally contain a substance called "bamboo kun," which has antibacterial and antifungal properties. This can help prevent the growth of bacteria on the fabric.
-
Softness: Bamboo fabric is known for its soft and smooth texture, making it gentle on surfaces and less likely to scratch delicate surfaces.
-
Absorbent: While not as absorbent as microfiber, bamboo fabric still has good moisture-wicking properties and can be effective for wiping surfaces.
Key Differences between microfibre and bamboo
-
Material: Microfiber is a synthetic material, while bamboo fabric is derived from natural bamboo fibers.
-
Cleaning Mechanism: Microfiber relies on its fine fibers to mechanically trap and lift particles, while bamboo fabric may have some antibacterial properties in addition to its cleaning capabilities.
-
Sustainability: Bamboo fabric is considered more eco-friendly due to its renewable and fast-growing source.
Both microfiber and bamboo fabric have their own advantages for cleaning purposes. Microfiber is known for its exceptional cleaning and absorption abilities, while bamboo fabric offers a more sustainable and potentially antibacterial option. The choice between the two will depend on your specific cleaning needs and preferences.
