Aquatouch General Heavyweight | 365GSM Terry Weave Microfibre Cloth 24pk

365GSM | Dual Side Terry | 40x40cm | 70/30 | Edgeless | 24pk

The GENERAL Heavyweight is the denser, thirstier sibling of our signature general purpose microfibre cloth, built on the same purpose-tuned terry weave with extra fibre packed in for jobs that demand more.

Made from our low-denier 70/30 yarn and fully chemically split fibres, it carries the same cleaning power and softness as the original GENERAL, just with more pile density behind every pass. That added mass means greater absorbency, better product holding, and a more cushioned feel on the panel.

At 365GSM, it steps up from the standard GENERAL without tipping into plush territory. It holds more liquid per wipe, buffs residue with fewer passes, and still moves quickly enough for everyday work. Drying after a rinseless wash, lifting heavier product, wiping down larger panels, the Heavyweight takes it all in stride while staying safe on sensitive surfaces.

Like the original, the Heavyweight does not over specialise. It is the all-rounder for detailers who simply want more towel in hand. If you prefer a dual sided design that pairs a short pile for extra bite with a longer pile for plush finishing, the Aquatouch VERSO may suit you better. And if you are working with coatings or want a more precise pearl weave microfibre cloth for controlled, streak free residue removal, the Aquatouch ACE remains the specialised option.

 

Myths & Real Talk

Microfiber over the years has been full of different buzzwords that never really tell the story. Things like Korean-made, 100 % split, or always having high GSM. True performance comes from how the yarn, denier, weave, and fibre split all work together to make functional microfiber. Something that's purpose built, and actually specifically designed for what you are wanting to use it for. 

“Korean microfiber” isn’t a quality guarantee. Korea pioneered the material, but today’s best mills in China use the same-grade looms, extrusion, and finishing chemistry. What really matters is understanding this process and working with likeminded manufacturers that share their vision, regardless of where they reside. 

“100 % split” doesn’t tell the full story. It only means every filament has been through the process, not how finely or evenly it was divided. Our microfibres are chemically split for consistency, we control the extent of the split to maintain structure and bite, ensuring we still get that cleaning power that overly soft cloths don’t have.

High GSM doesn’t equal better. All our general purpose cloths are weighted with purpose, a higher GSM doesn’t necessarily mean better. Our lighter cloths clean a lot faster, and the extra polyamide content helps them absorb more product than the average cloth at the same GSM. 

Edgeless. All our cloths are not overlocked and are all ultrasonic cut, this ensures that the cloth doesn’t scratch on the edges on even the most delicate of surfaces. 

Our 70/30s are different. Many 70/30 cloths focus so much on softness and absorbency that they lose their cleaning edge, smearing instead of wiping clean. We chose 70/30 by design, pairing a low-denier yarn with controlled splitting to keep absorbency while preserving the surface tension needed for true cleaning power. This allows us to use the best features from 70/30, but ensuring it remains functional & a well rounded cloth.
