Microfiber is a very soft fiber material. If you've ever marveled at the ability of a gecko to walk on walls due to tiny sticky fibers on their feet, you're close to appreciating and understanding the physics of microfibers — and why your microfiber couch seat covers need special care. Microfiber literally attracts dirt, but that doesn't make the cleaning situation hopeless. If you clean regularly, you won't find your microfiber seat covers any more difficult to keep clean than the rest of your furniture.
Microfiber is a synthetic material made from plastic, such as polyester and nylon, which is woven into strands that are times thinner than a human hair. When these strands are woven into fabric, microscopic attractive forces called van der Waals forces — after Dutch chemist Johannes Diderik van der Waals — become important.
Each fiber creates a small, virtually negligible attractive force, but the sheer number of the fibers magnifies this force dramatically, turning the fiber into a dirt magnet, says the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. This principle is behind the effectiveness of microfiber cleaning cloths, and it's why geckos can walk on walls, the suction created by the densely packed, tiny fibers on their feet.
Because they attract dust from the air, your microfiber couch covers are bound to get dirty, even if you don't use them.
