Can you really clean your house using just water and microfiber?

30 Jan 2015 10:12 AM | IJCSA - (Administrator)

What do you use to get your home clean? Would you try only water and a cloth to remover dirt and germs?

Products on the market are designed to do just that, clean surfaces, including kitchen counters and bathroom sinks, with only water.

Blogger Becky Rapinchuk is known as the "Clean Mama." She's been using natural cleaning products in her home for quite some time. "I make pretty much everything as a homemade cleaner," she said.

But now, a growing number of cleaning tools are aimed at taking the idea of green clean one step further, from windows to floors, even the kitchen counter and bathrooms. There are products on the market, many made of microfiber, designed to work with plain old water and without the need for chemical cleaners.

Becky is a fan.

"For just every day wiping down the counters, cleaning surfaces, water and a microfiber cloth is sufficient," she said.

Experts say Becky isn't alone. John Owen is a senior household analysts for Mintel. Their research shows 37 percent of adults would be interested in using microfiber and water to clean dirt, grease, and bacteria. 12 percent already using microfiber on a daily basis.

Owen said, "And young adults, those who are sort of in their 20s and 30s say, are more than twice as likely and we think that's an indication that the market is growing and that there's a generational shift going on."
