  • I use microfibre cloths for cleaning my face - I put cleanser on my face and then wipe it off with a hot water wetted microfibre cloth - you should see the grime it brings off!! I then thoroughly rinse it in really hot water and it is fine for about three days, after which I boil it before using it again. I also use microfibre cloths for cleaning my specs, TV and other screens, chrome, - in fact I use them for everything practically!! The only thing I use with them is VERY hot water and a dash of stardrops amonia cleaner.

    I use a 'meant for kitchen' cloth on my face too. The purpose made ones for the face were £1 each . I opened the box they were in and compared them to the kitchen ones and there was no difference. I bought 2 white ones for a £1 and cut them in to four so i had eight. I did hem them around on the machine as they ere washed very frequently.
    I use them with the Boots Time Delay cleansing balm ( an Eve Lom copy!!)and wash them every day - but no fabric softener. HTH
    re boots time delay - i think the new £5 off skincare when you spend over £10 voucher includes time delay so top up your phone & get £5 off your cleanser.

    In Auto Express magazine there is a review on the best cloths for cleaning cars and guess what they are?

    Micro fibre cloths for general car cleaning and car windows.

    The are from Halfords and such like (because they're for cars I suppose) and cost £3.99 upwards each.

    Perhaps we need to make sure all men know that we've known about micro fibre cloths for a long time and only pay pence for them:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    My son just spent over £40 on cleaning stuff for his car, including £12 for a cloth to dry/polish it with. All it is, is just a big fancy microfibre cloth.

    How do other people care for (launder ) their microfibre cloths? I don't want to use bleach as I don't keep it in the house for curious toddler and eco reasons. they get used for everything from washing up to cleaning up minging bubs to behind the loo (not the same cloth obviously!)

    I've noticed my tesco value cloths I got a year ago are not as effective as they used to be from washing at 60 with the nappies. They are washed in soapnuts and line dryed. Do all cloths lose their effectiveness or was this cos I bought cheapo ones to start with? Are they supposed to "wear out"?

    I'm wondering if I've been doing sonmething wrong. I've just invested in some nice new orange ones from poundstrecher and am keep to prolong their life if poss this time.
