What materials is Ultra Pro Cloth made from?

Ultra Pro Cloth is a 1000 GSM blend, 80% polyester and 20% polyamide (PA), knitted in a twisted loop-cut circular weave. The edge is bound with faux suede to stop it fraying, and the cloth is treated with nano-silver for antibacterial and deodorising properties. It absorbs more than 11 times its own weight in water and is made in South Korea.

✓ Pile and blend

1000 GSM twisted loop-cut pile, knitted in a circular weave. An 80% polyester and 20% polyamide blend. Polyester gives structure and durability, polyamide adds softness and moisture uptake.

✓ Edge and treatment

Faux-suede binding stops the edges fraying without risking scratches on glass or polished stainless steel. A nano-silver treatment gives the cloth antibacterial and deodorising properties, so it stays fresher between washes.

Why is it built this way?

The dense loop-cut pile maximises surface area for liquid uptake and dust trapping, which is what drives the high absorbency. The polyamide (PA) share boosts absorbency and glide compared with an all-polyester cloth. The faux-suede binding keeps the edge from fraying without adding anything that could scratch a polished surface, and the nano-silver treatment extends usable time between washes on high-use cleaning days.

✓ Density does the work

How absorbent is Ultra Pro Cloth?

Ultra Pro Cloth absorbs more than 11 times its own weight in water. The dense 1000 GSM loop-cut pile pulls liquid into the fibres and holds it there, which is why it leaves worktops, mirrors and stainless steel streak-free in a single wipe. If the cloth drags instead of gliding, the surface is too dry, so add a little more cleaner or water to lubricate the pile.

✓ Keep it gliding

If the cloth feels like it is dragging rather than gliding, the surface is too dry. Apply a little more Universal Cleaner or water and the loop pile will grip and move smoothly. The cloth needs liquid to lubricate, not to soak.

Does the material change how I wash it?

Yes. Wash it before first use to unlock its full absorbency. Machine wash with a mild liquid detergent free of dyes, fragrances, bleach and softeners. Wash it with non-linting materials only, no cotton, and wash darks separately for the first few washes to limit dye transfer. Tumble dry low and do not iron. Never use fabric softener, because it clogs the fibres and reduces absorbency.

⚠ Avoid

Fabric softener coats the fibres and reduces absorbency. Bleach breaks down the weave. Cotton sheds lint the cloth will grab. High heat and ironing damage the loop pile permanently.

No fabric softener No bleach No cotton wash No iron
