Microfiber - A scientifically engineered tool that cleans on a microscopic scale
Unlike a typical woven fabric cloth that simply push dirt and grime around, Jude’s Miracle Cloth leaves surfaces clean and polished. Jude's tiny fibers lift grime and bacteria from surfaces. Simply wet it, wring it, wipe it, and walk away!
Microfiber Today
Microfiber has become one of the most effective, efficient, and eco‑friendly cleaning technologies used in homes and businesses today. Its ultra‑fine synthetic fibers trap dirt, oils, and microbes far better than traditional cloths, often reducing or eliminating the need for chemical cleaners.
But How Does It Work?
Microfiber is a thread with a measurement of less than one denier, which is the measurement used to describe the size of a fiber. The original fibers are split apart into microfibers 10–20 times smaller. In fact, microfiber is so fine that 9,000 meters of microfiber weighs only 1 gram!
These smaller split fibers create more surface area to attract and trap dirt & grime. The split fibers act like tiny claws, pulling in particles that regular cloths leave behind.
This makes microfiber ideal for high‑touch surfaces in homes and commercial spaces where sanitation matters.
Jude’s Miracle Cloth is the best microfiber material available. It is made in Europe by a world-wide patented manufacturing method. In the factory, there are no chemicals used to manufacture Jude's Miracle Cloth – just pressurized and recycled water.
Jude's is a premium smooth spun microfiber cloth - it is not woven. You can cut your Jude's into different sizes to meet your needs and it will not fray because it is a spun fabric. Woven fabrics need to have their edges bound so they do not fray.
The Facts
Microfiber textiles designed for cleaning are not just cloths — it’s a cleaning technology. A scientifically engineered precision tool that cleans on a microscopic scale!
Microfiber lifts and traps dirt instead of spreading it.
Microfiber is more hygienic, more efficient, and more cost‑effective over time.
Microfiber leaves no lint, making it perfect for glass, stainless steel, mirrors, and electronics.
It’s soft and safe, even on painted or delicate surfaces.
Microfiber materials can absorb up to 400% of their own weight in water. They also dry very quickly which helps to keep it from developing mold & bacteria which love a damp environment to grow.
The molecular composition of the microfiber is highly lipophilic, which means that they have the exceptional ability to absorb & pick up oils, grease and fats.
Field tests found that microfiber is effective at capturing microbes: Several studies have determined that microfiber is better than cotton at capturing bacteria. The University of California, Davis Medical Center compared the amount of bacteria picked up by a cotton-loop mop and by a microfiber mop. The cotton-loop mop reduced bacteria on the floors by 30%, whereas the microfiber mop reduced bacteria by 99%.

Microfiber: A Brief History
- Dating back to the late 1950’s, curious minds began experimenting with splitting fibers.
- Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto of Japan is credited with conducting one of the most promising microfiber experiments in the 1960’s.
- Dr. Toyohiko Hikota, in collaboration with Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto, went on to design various successful industrial applications of the fiber (first in Europe, and then all over the world).
- Initially used for fashion fabrics like Ultrasuede, it found its true, revolutionary purpose in cleaning and textiles in the 1990s after European refinement, leading to its widespread use today for its high absorbency and dust-trapping properties.
- During this time, the microfiber began to be recognized for its ability to clean effectively without chemicals, absorbing dirt and liquid, and it found huge success in Europe.
- By 2001, it was widely used in the professional cleaning industry, and it soon began taking over the worldwide market for high-tech cleaning wipes, towels, athletic wear, and more.
