An e-cloth is not just another microfiber cloth. Advanced fiber technology and superior chemistry allow e-cloths to rapidly absorb 7 times their weight in water, and all e-cloths are guaranteed for 300 washes without losing performance. If you take care of them they will last for years. Healthy cleaning comes naturally with e-cloth -- cloths remove over 99% of bacteria with just water!

What Is e-cloth Made Of? 

For the most part, e-cloth is made from micro-size polyester and polyamide (nylon) fibers. It is the chemical properties of these materials that naturally draw things into the fibers as you clean. This company prides itself on using the highest quality raw materials in the world.

Does Fiber Size Matter?

Unlike ordinary cloths, e-cloth fibers are designed and fabricated to provide maximum cleaning and drying power. The tiny e-cloth fibers are 1,000 times finer than cotton fibers or 1/200th the diameter of a human hair. The fibers are the smallest in the world that can be made by man.

Fiber Processing

During production, polyester fibers are split into eight pie-shape filaments and polyamide fibers are split into an axle with eight spokes. The polyester pie shape filaments are combined with the polyamide to form a fiber that is 1/200th of a human hair diameter.

Fiber Density

Each e-cloth is fabricated to have as many as 3.1 million* fiber strands per square inch of cloth. Nearly 500 million fiber strands are in each cloth. e-cloth's filaments are so small and so strong; using just water they break up, lift, lock in, and clean deep down into the tiniest grooves and crevices. Dust, grease, oils, grime, dirt and bacteria are quickly and easily removed and locked away deep inside the fibers until the cloths are rinsed or washed.

Surfaces are cleaned so effectively that there is nowhere left for bacteria to grow. Surfaces are left polished and totally smear and lint free.

During a long, cold winter, cleanliness around the house can get a bit neglected. Luckily, as it warms up, your energy returns and the Spring Cleaning itch is triggered.

Aside from the standard dusting and scrubbing, here are some additional spring cleaning ideas for the most active room in your house—the kitchen.

Get A Fresh Start

Tossing outdated, moldy food is a given, but you might want a quick refresher on how long produce lasts.  

• If uncut, whole fruits and vegetables can remain at room temperature for several days.
• Chopped fruits and veggies need to be refrigerated within two hours of cutting.
• Cooked vegetables last only three to four days in the fridge.

Registered Dietitian Tip: Keep apples separate from other produce, whether in the crisper or on the counter. They release small amounts of ethylene gas, which can damage fragile produce like lettuce and bananas.

Check Those Expiration Dates

Canned goods can retain their nutrients for months or even years if they’re stored in a cool, dry place. Minerals and some vitamins will remain for as long as the food still tastes okay. To predict the shelf life of your can, consider the acidity level of its contents. The chemicals in high-acid foods react with the metal container, and over time this may change the flavor and texture as well as reduce nutritional value.

Fruit, juice, tomatoes, pickled vegetables, and vinegar-based dressings should be consumed within 12 to 18 months after purchase. Canned foods with low acidity, like corn and beans, are safe to eat for two to five years. Of course, get rid of cans that are bulging, leaking, rusting, or spurt liquid when opened (regardless of purchase date), as they may have been contaminated.

Clean Safely

Wiping out the refrigerator is likely low on your priority list, but drips and spills in the fridge & cabinets create a home for illness-causing bacteria. I suggest finding a cleaning product that’s safe and doesn’t contain chemicals linked to serious health problems. The Environmental Working Group tested 94 kitchen cleaners and gave 62 of them a grade D or F due to factors including their potential to exacerbate asthma, respiratory problems, or allergies (see the full list at ewg.org).

Here are a few ideas for “clean” cleaning:

1} Wipe down food storage areas with a food-based solution: mix a half cup of vinegar and a quarter cup of baking soda in a half gallon of hot water.

2} Try a food grade hydrogen peroxide cleaner. It will disinfect and brighten all countertops and surfaces. It will also reduce germs on handles, cutting boards, and the sink, especially if the sink was used to wash animal protein. This spray will also get the smell out of trash cans. It is a clean way to clean...everything!

3} I also love the new cleaning cloths that only require water—no cleaner necessary! These microfiber cloths work so well and leave absolutely zero streaks.  

Food Must Stay Cold

If you want to keep the bacteria out, your refrigerator temperature should be 40 degrees or below, and your freezer should be 0 degrees or below. If your refrigerator and freezer don’t have a built-in thermostat, consider an inexpensive freestanding appliance thermometer. Place one in the fridge and one in the freezer.

Two tips:

1} Food items stored in the refrigerator door are exposed to gusts of warm air, so tuck meat, seafood, dairy, and eggs in the back.                     

2} Avoid overcrowding—air needs to circulate around items to keep them cold.

Treat Your Meat Well

Always store packages of raw meat and seafood on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, so if their juices drop they won’t contaminate other food. Same goes if you’re defrosting meat or seafood on a plate—keep it on the bottom shelf.

Fresh meat will keep for a couple of days in the fridge and, depending on the cut, up to a year in the freezer; just in time for next year’s big cleanout.

In Health and Happiness,
