The Duetto set brings together two premium microfibre cloths measuring 30x35 cm, designed for professional and household cleaning that demands a streak-free, lint-free finish. The high-density polyester and polyamide weave holds up to seven times its own weight in water and works both dry and damp, capturing dust, grease and bacteria without aggressive detergents. Machine washable up to 60 °C and reusable hundreds of times, it cuts running costs compared with disposable wipes.
What microfibre is
Microfibre is a synthetic fibre, usually a blend of polyester and polyamide (nylon), spun far finer than a human hair. Each fibre is split into thousands of micro-filaments that create an enormous active surface: the result is a cloth that lifts and traps dirt particles, grease and moisture mechanically, by electrostatic attraction and capillary action, rather than smearing them around. This is why a quality microfibre cloth cleans glass and stainless steel with water alone, leaving no streaks and no fibres behind.
The producer
The Duetto cloths are manufactured by Carteria SRL, based in Besana in Brianza in the province of Monza and Brianza. Active since 1997, Carteria is an Italian specialist in paper and cleaning products with a dedicated cleaning and microfibre line, producing for distributors across Europe. The Duetto set reflects this know-how: balanced fibre density, neatly hemmed edges and consistent absorbency batch after batch.
Characteristics
The 30x35 cm format is the most versatile size for everyday tasks: large enough to cover a worktop in a few passes, compact enough to fold into quarters for detail work. The fabric is soft yet hard-wearing, with overlocked edges that resist fraying through repeated washing. Each cloth works in two modes: used dry, it captures dust and lint through electrostatic attraction; used slightly damp, it removes fingerprints, splashes and stubborn grease.
Technical use
For glass, mirrors and stainless steel, work with a barely damp cloth and finish with a dry one for a crystal-clear, streak-free result. For worktops and tables, dampen the cloth with water or a neutral degreaser and wipe in straight overlapping passes. Keep separate cloths for different zones to avoid cross-contamination, a basic HACCP good practice in professional kitchens. Wash at up to 60 °C without fabric softener, which would clog the micro-filaments and reduce performance.
Professional uses
In restaurants and pizzerias the Duetto cloth is ideal for polishing glassware and cutlery, wiping down stainless-steel surfaces and prep stations, and the final pass on tables in the dining room. In bars and cafes it keeps the counter, the coffee machine and the back bar spotless. In hotels and housekeeping it serves bathrooms, mirrors and furniture. In delicatessens and pastry labs it handles display cases and refrigerated counters where a lint-free finish is essential.
Pairings
Pair the Duetto set with a neutral degreaser such as Soday for everyday surface cleaning, with neutral hand soap for the washing station, and with a metal handle and floor cloths for a complete cleaning kit. Keep a colour-coded set per zone to organise kitchen, dining room and bathroom cleaning in line with HACCP.
