I have tried to locate a manufacturing source for micro-fiber material but was told by a textile guru in Los Angeles that Japan is the only source for genuine "micro" fiber cloth. It seems that only in Japan is anyone still processing polyester fibers of near microscopic thickness. I would have tried Ted's solution as well but I use silk underwear, not cotton.
