Abstract
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that microfiber is preferred for environmental cleaning and disinfection given its enhanced microbial removal. There has been controversy surrounding the sustained efficacy of reprocessed microfiber, though existing literature on the topic lacks standardized laundering parameters. The present study demonstrates that reprocessed microfiber cloths and pads, laundered according to CDC laundry parameters, achieve microbial removal from healthcare surfaces that is substantially equivalent to that of new microfiber.
