What is the Polyglaze Microfibre Cloth, and where should you use it?

The Polyglaze Microfibre Cloth is a versatile cleaning cloth for washing, polishing and buffing a wide range of surfaces. It is described as versatile for cleaning, polishing and buffing, and as leaving no lint or residue behind.

The characteristic that decides where you can use it is that it is gentle enough for glass, chrome and interior surfaces — the three places where a coarse cloth causes visible damage. It is washable, and washing it is what maintains its softness and performance over time.

Why "no lint or residue" is the useful claim

On most surfaces, lint is a nuisance. On glass and chrome it is the whole result — a windscreen that has been wiped with a linting cloth looks worse than it did before, and chrome shows every fibre left behind. A cloth specified to leave no lint or residue is what lets you finish those surfaces in one pass rather than chasing marks around with a second cloth.

The washability note is more than a convenience claim. A cloth used for buffing collects whatever came off the surface, and a cloth carrying grit stops being gentle regardless of what it is made from. Washing it is stated as the way to maintain both softness and performance — so treat it as part of using the cloth, not just as tidying up afterwards.

Safety information

This is a microfibre cloth — a physical product rather than a chemical one. Selleys does not publish a safety data sheet for it, and none is required: safety data sheets cover substances and mixtures, not tools and textiles.

There is therefore no GHS hazard classification, no signal word and no hazard statements for this item. That is a statement about what it is, not a gap in the documentation.

The ordinary care that applies to any cleaning tool still does: keep it clean between uses, replace it when worn, and remember that a cloth or applicator used with a hazardous product carries that product's residue — handle and store it accordingly, and wash it before reuse.
