The article has no coverage of what happens if polymer microfibers drift in air currents and enter mammalian cells in the lungs or gut. Various forms of mineral fibers (fiberglass, asbestos, etc) have been shown harmful and unless refuted somewhere, it is possible that microfibers could have similar risks as they are smaller than fiberglass insulation fibers. While larger than asbestos fibers, the sharp edges of the individual microfibers may be small enough to emulate the effect of asbestos fibers and cause fibrosis.AnimeJanai (talk) 08:34, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Microfiber or microfibre is synthetic fiber finer than one denier or decitex/thread.[1] This is smaller than the diameter of a strand of silk, which is itself about 1/5 the diameter of a human hair."

A Denier is a measure of density, which is then compared to a measure of length (diameter of a human hair). This comparison doesn't mean anything... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wild Wizard (talk • contribs) 13:33, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Under environmental issues, the last paragraf is as follows: "Although cotton offers more "cool crispness" than microfiber when used as bed linen,[23] microfiber is arguably better for the environment because it lasts longer than cotton, needs less water to wash it clean, dries 3x faster than cotton, and also because microfiber absorbs dirt including allergens more effectively than cotton.[24]"

firstly, the first part of it seems kind of irrelevant, and secondly, the sources [23][24] for these statements seems 1) rather amateurish and more alarmingly 2) incredibly biased. The source [24] comes from an article on page called ecomall and the article is written by "micro fiber products online" which is a site that sells micro fiber products. And also that article cites no sources. 83.183.15.24 (talk) 05:18, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Microfiber. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20100706120121/http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/newsroom/releases/archives/other/2006/mop6-2006.html to http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/newsroom/releases/archives/other/2006/mop6-2006.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018.

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
• If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Cheers.—InternetArchiveBot (Report bug) 17:23, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If microfiber had a second-rate teenage fan-magazine, this article would be that magazine. Full of unsupported claims, marketing, and exaggerations, and full of petty details that are neither encyclopedic nor factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.242.82.31 (talk) 12:25, 8 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
