Hmm, let's see.
I have a few rooms or carpet to clean.
Call the vet.
Process some glide and wand orders.
Get a 100 PC order moving for a large manufacturer.
Start prepping my Hawg for a trip to Vegas next Saturday.
Exercise.
Watch the US vs CANADA game.
And work on some IICRC projects..
How about you?

That's a light dayBusy
Chem dry has been around since 77.
I was bonnet cleaning in the late 80s and it was common then.
My guess would be the 60s.

Early versions of microfiber emerged in the 60's. But microfiber emerged as a cleaning fiber (including bonnets) in more recent years – particularly from the early 2000's onward. It has now become the de facto fiber for most cleaning applications.
It's unparalleled in it's ability to pull soil. The fiber's asterisk shaped strands has a greater ability to grab soil. I actually once heard about a study that was done in a large institutional setting where they soiled a countertop with chicken juice. They then cleaned a section with cotton and a disinfectant, and cleaned another section with microfiber and just water. Afterward the 2 sections were tested for microbes, and the microfiber side did as as well as the side with the disinfectant and cotton. Microfiber simply cleans better.
