Coloring
Cloths that are colored can be created in one of two ways.
The low cost way is to dye the cloth after it has been
constructed. These types of cloths do not pick up as well
and bleed during the wash process. The quality way to color
microfiber is to impregnate the color into the fiber during
the extrusion process. This is more costly but insures the
performance of the cloth and longevity of the coloring.
Construction
There are many different ways a cloth can be woven and
stitched. Construction is important in consideration of the
life of a product. Lower priced product will begin to
deteriorate after 25 washings. They usually do not last more
than 50 washings. Our cloths have higher quality
construction. They are estimated to last at least 300
washings. To compare the cost of our cloths to other lower quality
products, you must assume you will need to purchase 6 of the
lower priced cloths for every 1 Parish cloth. Clearly the
Parish
cloth is a lower cost.
Microfiber Quality & Content
There are many different ways to create microfiber. Fabric
can be split manually or chemically. Fabric can be single
split or split twice. All Parish microfiber are split twice,
manually and chemically. This is the highest quality
construction process currently available for microfiber
fabric. This high-quality approach insures greatest pick-up
performance.
Weight & Measure
Microfiber cloths are measured in grams and inches. The gram
measurement is based on a square meter of material. A square
meter of a 250-gram weight material will weight 250 grams. A
16" x 16" 250 g will measure 16" in both directions. A 16" x
16"
300 g cloth will weigh more than a 250 g cloth because it
has more material / square meter.
The old adage, “you get what you pay for”
is very appropriate when comparing the quality and price of
different microfiber cloths. |
