The “noodle” / “pile” structure of chenille fibers can hold a lot of soap solution and water, giving a more lubricated contact with the paint as you wash.
Trapping dirt and grit away from the surface
Because of the depth and density of the fibers, dirt particles are more likely to be held down in the voids of the mitt, instead of being dragged across the paint. This helps reduce the risk of scratching.
Efficient coverage
Because it holds so much soap and water, you can cover larger surface areas before needing to reload or re-lather. This can make the wash faster and more consistent.
Soft feel and tactile feedback
The flexible fibers conform to curves and contours, giving you better contact with irregular surfaces (mirrors, body lines, trim) without excessive pressure.
Durability / reusability
Good quality chenille mitts are machine washable and can last through many wash cycles if cared for properly
