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.
