Guardian truly cleans at a microscopic scale!

Microfiber & Other Nanos

What does microfiber have to do with nanotechnology, you might ask. Well, it's all about how physical properties of materials change dramatically at extremely small scales. Take water, for instance. In our macro-world, water is simply wet. But zoom in to the molecular level, and water is electrically imbalanced, allowing the molecule to stick to all kinds of different particles and break them down. Combine this fact and the natural solvent action of water molecules with the attraction of microfiber, and you have an extremely versatile and environmentally-friendly cleaning system utilizing these special micro-properties. 



The individual threads in a microfiber cloth are 1/100 the size of a human hair. But if we turned on our superman vision and could see them at a nanoscale, these fibers would be huge.

Many materials at the nano scale behave in surprising, and sometimes very beneficial ways. One such material is titanium dioxide. In its normal form, Ti02 is the most widely used white pigment in the world. It is added to everything from paints to milk and toothpaste. And it's a valuable additive in sunscreen because of its ability to block UV rays. But just like the threads in a microfiber cloth, when Ti02 is manufactured as a nanoscale particle, some amazing reactions are created.
