Most of the ingenious inventions of man initially assumed by no means a domestic scope. It often happens that scientists and engineers invent their brainchildren for specialized needs, fulfilling orders of national importance, working for the benefit of the space, medical or defense industries. As a result, developers always achieve results. Sometimes it does not quite satisfy customers, sometimes, on the contrary, it exceeds all expectations. However, even the most secret deeds of employees of scientific laboratories become a reality and become public property. Many of us do not think about the fact that things that are quite familiar in everyday life were once intended for other, larger purposes. One such invention was the lint-free wipe.

Small troubles are no longer scary

Any hostess, doing her daily household chores, which includes cleaning, more than once nervously tried to polish a mirror or a glossy surface of her favorite kitchen set to a shine. Cursing in my soulhindsight, a diligent cleaner always tries to remove even a barely noticeable lint from the surface, which still basically sticks to a perfectly clean surface, and even in the most visible place. Achieving crystal clear glass, mirrors and other smooth surfaces has become much easier, and all thanks to the fact that a special lint-free cloth comes to the rescue.

For those who have never used this miracle, or do not know what it is, we will explain that fabric cuts (they can be of different sizes, compositions and have a wide variety of purposes), the surface of which is smoothed and devoid of pile, are called lint-free wipes.

The lint-free wipe can be made from cotton, polyester or cellulose. Fabric swatches usually have a structure similar to knitted fabric, their edges are processed in a special way using laser cutters or ultrasound.

Scope of application

Initially, these cloths were developed for high-tech industries. They are used in full swing in research laboratories, pharmacology, medical institutions, various areas of production, and not only in factories, but also "handicraft" craftsmen appreciated their advantages.

A lint-free cloth is a universal thing, it can be used to wipe spare parts, parts, optical instruments, LCD monitors of TVs, computers and laptops, screens of mobile phones, smartphones, tablets and communicators.

The napkin is goodthat it very gently cleans any surface. Due to its soft structure, it does not leave any marks after use, it is impossible to scratch even the most delicate object with it. The fact that a lint-free cloth is absolutely smooth, and after its application there are no microparticles on the wiped surface, means a lot for mechanics who, on duty, need to assemble complex mechanisms, because the ingress of any foreign body, even a few dust particles, into them can cause breakage.

Note to beauties

But a useful napkin, smoothed from annoying villi, will be not only for men. She won her place in the beauty industry, or rather, in nail salons. Manufacturers of accessories needed to create beautiful nails offer their clients to use not ordinary cotton pads, swabs or fabric cuts, but special napkins.

For manicure parlors, a special lint-free cloth is sold in a roll or in packs of 500, 750 and 900 pieces. There are manufacturers offering mega-packs, they contain about 5000-6000 wipes. For convenience and speed of use, special dispenser containers can be selected for such packages. The most common napkin sizes are 5x5 or 5x7 cm.

How to choose quality lint-free wipes?

The main difficulty of ordering such a product is that buyers are not yet well aware of its features and distinctive features. The right lint-free cloth (photo abovesection) even upon closer examination in a microscope should be absolutely smooth. Samples are allowed in which the structure of the material is visible, but the fibers must not contain a single villi.

The advantage of using lint-free wipes is their cost-effectiveness. For example, types intended for beauty salons, art studios, car workshops that specialize in painting cars and creating airbrushes need the use of special solutions that make it easier to wash off paints and varnishes. A good wipe requires very little solvent, which helps save money on consumables.

Another distinguishing feature of a quality product is that each napkin should be well removed from the package. This ensures hygiene and cleanliness, which is especially important for pharmacology and medicine.
