Microfiber cloth is the worst thing ever.

Post Reply New Topic

I have to rant about this. I hate microfiber stuff SO MUCH. The fibers get caught on the ridges in my skin and it feels so awful. I'm not normally oversensitive about many things, but I absolutely cannot deal with this sort of towel or clothing. Please tell me I'm not alone.

Does anyone like Microfiber? Touching Microfiber gives me the chills.

You're not the only one. I hate it too. When dry, it's like sandpaper to my skin. If it's damp/wet it's not so bad, but then it's kind of useless.

Personally? It doesn't really bother me!

I hate it when it sticks to my hands.

Yeah, it feels bad when it's dry, especially if you have dry flaky skin as well. I hate most fine fabrics when I have dry skin; satin, silk, lace etc.
I prefer it wet. I use microfibre face cloths in the shower.

Urgh, yes, I have a microfibre towel somewhere but I can't stand to touch it. It's like rubbing velcro on your skin.

I haven't really noticed because I think the only microfiber in my house is a few dishcloths (I don't do dishes) and a few dust mitts/rags.

I'll have to make sure I do more checking if I ever think of getting any more microfiber stuff that comes in more contact with my skin.

I have a couch that is covered in microfiber with a sort of velvety texture... the surface is smooth so I dont have as much of that problem, but since it is synthetic it's hott to sleep on in the summer.

Soft cloth I enjoy, even if it does pull at my skin... in fact I love soft cuddly cloth. I think I've had some super soft microfiber blankets before that I LOVED... like they made fleece and silk seem rough and rigid lol.

My guess is, other than the skin-breathing issue... that I actually loooooooove microfiber!

(I should also mention, I am not as hypersensitive when it comes to the feel of things, and am more so with sound and light so maybe that is part of why?)

I don't know how I didn't think of this. I have a microfiber sofa. The material doesn't bother me on that. I have throws where I sit on it though so I don't get it dirty. I sit on it all day using the computer.

Microfiber isn't much of a bother, but those swiffer dusting cloths?!?!?! Different story!! ! I have to put on latex gloves to dust with them. *chills up my spine*

Somewhat, yes. I certainly can't wear anything made of it; it's nearly as bad as polyester.

Yeah, I don't really like microfiber very much, its probably my least favorite material.

It makes me feel like I have really rough skin on my fingers. So, I'm compelled to check my skin and it's fine. But, they are good for polishing glass.

Feels nice and soft and velvety to me. Maybe there are different types which I haven't discovered yet.

They do bother my hands a bit, though DH who's NT is more bothered by it. Luckily it's very humid where we live, so they don't really feel dry.
