What is a microfiber towel and how is it different from other types of towels?

A microfiber towel is made of very fine synthetic fibers that are tightly woven together. It is different from other towels because the fibers are much smaller and more densely packed, making it more absorbent and quick-drying. This type of towel is also softer and more gentle on surfaces, making it ideal for cleaning and drying delicate items.
