Microbe removal is a critical first step in preventing infection. Dead microbes left on a surface become a food source for live pathogens, increasing the risk of contamination and disease transmission. HYGEN™ microfibre cloths tackle this problem at the fibre level. The split-blended microfibre construction uses fibres up to 100 times thinner than a human hair. These microscopic fibres penetrate into surface crevices invisible to the naked eye, where bacteria and viruses hide. The result is that HYGEN™ cloths lift and trap 99.9% of tested pathogens, including C. diff, MRSA, and human coronavirus, with water alone. Unlike standard cleaning cloths that push dirt and germs across surfaces, HYGEN™ microfibre cloths lock onto particles through static charge and mechanical action. This means fewer germs remain on high-touch areas after wiping, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between surfaces.

Rubbermaid HYGEN™ microfibre cloths are engineered to withstand up to 500 commercial wash cycles. When laundered with bleach following CDC guidelines, each cloth still delivers up to 200 effective launderings. That level of durability makes HYGEN™ a cost-effective cleaning solution for any commercial facility. The 290 GSM premium construction holds its shape and cleaning performance through repeated use. Where standard microfibre cloths shed fibres and lose effectiveness after a few dozen washes, HYGEN™ cloths maintain their ability to lift dust, dirt, and debris, wash after wash. This industry-leading durability means fewer replacement orders and lower long-term supply costs. Proper laundering care extends the life of your microfibre cloths even further. Wash in hot water at 71°C for 25 minutes, then dry at 54 °C on low heat. Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, as these coat the fibres and destroy their absorbency.
View HYGEN™ Laundry GuideHYGEN™ microfibre cloths clean effectively with water alone, reducing your facility’s chemical consumption by up to 95%. Less chemical use means lower supply costs and a safer working environment for cleaning staff. The eight-sided fold method lets each cloth cover up to eight surface areas before replacement. This system maximises cleaning coverage per cloth while preventing cross-contamination between different zones. Colour-coded microfibre cloths in blue, red, green, and yellow help teams match the right cloth to the right task at a glance. Whether your team handles general office cleaning, tackles spills in kitchens, or wipes down glass and stainless steel in customer-facing areas, the HYGEN™ range of launderable microfibre delivers a streak-free finish on every surface.

Yes. HYGEN™ microfibre cloths are designed for commercial machine washing. Wash them in hot water at 71°C for 25 minutes using a mild detergent. Always separate microfibre from other textiles to prevent lint transfer and fibre damage. Avoid fabric softeners and dryer sheets, as these products coat the fibres and reduce their cleaning capability. Dry your microfibre cloths on a low-heat setting at 54°C, then remove them from the dryer promptly to keep them in top condition.
Rubbermaid HYGEN™ durable microfibre cloths withstand up to 500 commercial launderings, or 200 launderings when washed with bleach per CDC guidelines. This level of durability far exceeds standard microfibre products, which typically last only 50 to 100 wash cycles. You will know it is time to replace a cloth when it no longer picks up dust and debris effectively, feels thin or worn, or leaves lint and streaks on surfaces after cleaning.
HYGEN™ launderable microfibre cloths handle a wide range of surfaces found in commercial facilities. Use them on desks, countertops, stainless steel fixtures, bathroom surfaces, glass, and medical equipment housings. The colour-coded system helps prevent cross-contamination by assigning different cloths to specific areas. Blue cloths are for general cleaning, red is for bathrooms, green is for food-preparation surfaces, and yellow is designated for infectious-substance areas.
HYGEN™ microfibre cloths remove 99.9% of tested pathogens, including C. diff, MRSA, and human coronavirus, using water alone. The split-blended fibres reach into microscopic surface crevices where bacteria and viruses hide. This mechanical removal process works alongside your facility’s disinfection protocol. The CDC recommends cleaning before disinfecting because disinfectants cannot reach microorganisms trapped under dirt and debris on a surface.
Rubbermaid HYGEN™ durable microfibre cloths are designed for healthcare environments where infection prevention is a priority. Each cloth removes 99.9% or more of tested viruses and bacteria with water alone. The four-colour coding system supports contamination control protocols across different zones of a healthcare facility. HYGEN™ cloths also withstand the high-temperature wash cycles required by clinical sanitation guidelines, maintaining their cleaning performance through 500 launderings.
