Both olefin and microfiber are synthetic fibers, though they are made from different processes. Olefin is made using ethylene or propylene. Microfiber is made by combining thin strands of polyester and nylon.

Can you wash microfiber in a washing machine?

The simple answer is yes, you can wash microfiber is the washing machine. Be sure that the only thing in the washer is microfiber items. If you put cottons in the machine with the microfiber it leaves cotton beads on the microfiber. It's also important to not use fabric softener (in either the washer or dryer) as the chemicals get absorbed into the microfiber material.

What are the different types of microfiber and how do they differ in terms of performance and durability?

There are two main types of microfiber: split microfiber and non-split microfiber. Split microfiber has split fibers that increase its cleaning ability and absorbency. Non-split microfiber has smooth fibers that are more durable but less effective at cleaning. Split microfiber is generally more effective for cleaning, while non-split microfiber is more durable.


What is olefin saturation?

Olefin Saturation is a chemical process, often used in the petrochemical industry to refine olefins (also known as alkenes) and to turn them into paraffins (also known as alkanes). The process is done by adding hydrogen gas to the heated liquid olefin. This breaks the carbon to carbon double bond of the olefin by forming a new molecule with extra hydrogen.
