The term “microfiber”
is based on the size of a fiber measuring below 1.0 denier (the
diameter or fineness of a continuous or filament fiber—the
lower the number, the finer the fiber, which in turn is more
effective for cleaning surfaces). AquaStar, Inc. has advanced
microfiber technology by splitting the fiber, producing a 0.20-0.15
denier, making it the finest, thus, highest quality microfiber
on the market today. AquaStar. has trademarked this high quality
microfiber, Starfiber®, and uses it to produce its core
product line—cleaning cloths and mop pads.

STARFIBER THREAD |
HAIR STRAND |
Each strand of Starfiber® microfiber is comprised of two
components--wedge-shaped polyester filaments and a core of nylon.
Made of both oil-attracting and water-attracting polymers, these
strands are woven into masses of tiny "hooks & loops”.
The sharp edges of millions of these fibers cut through dried-in
stains, attracting and absorbing dirt and micro-particles, eliminating
the need for additional chemical cleansers. Starfiber® is
not treated with any chemicals. The capillary effect between
the filaments and nylon core creates a high absorbency, which
in turn, enables the fiber to clean and polish at the same time.
Therefore, only water is needed as a detergent to clean any
type of surface.
Our superior Starfiber® microfiber textile is used to produce
the highest quality cleaning cloths, and mop pads on the market
today.
How Starfiber works:
Starfiber picks up and traps dust, dirt, grease, and particles
inside the “star-shaped” grooves of the fiber. Each
cloth and mop pad is made up of over 2 million yards of Starfiber
microfiber for 30 times the cleaning power of an ordinary cleaning
cloth or pad.
Starfiber® microfibers are so specialized, only a handful
of factories worldwide have the capabilities and capacity to
manufacture them.
