Microfibre Cloths

Hi all,
I went into Savers yesterday and bought several packs of 3 cloths (assorted colours) for 99p and stocked up on stardrops. I cleaned the shower and tiles this morning with the stardrops and it's come up a treat.
As for cleaning the cloths, the kitchen ones i pop into the dishwasher spread out on the top rack. all other ones I soak in either Milton or Steradent overnight.Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015. Every brick and blade of grass belongs to meeeee. :j0 -
bought the 3 pack of white ones in tesco yday ,wow ! only used them on mirrors / glass so far but im well impressed !
went round with one slightly damp one and a dry one to buff after ,should have seen the colour of the cloths afterwards,more beigey brown than white im ashamed to say0 -
I got two in Tescos this morning for my mum @ 99p each, only ones they had. Then I went get some Stardrops out of Semichem in town and what did I see... microfibre cloths, 3 for 99p, they had lime green, a mid bluey/grey colour, white and orange. Typical. Oh well... at least I know they are there. The cloths are about the size of a regular wash flannel. Around 33p a cloth, cheapest yet. Every other place I've seen they are £1 a piece. They are not as thick as the Tesco ones but good enough for the price. Wouldn't go back to regular dusters etc now since I found about these.“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot.

Go there and go to store finder, the only problem is that the stores are in the middle of England!0 -

Hi,
the Stardrops was 59p in Savers so I bought a couple of them.
A question for you. I used to work part time as a carer a while back and i went to this lady who was in the final stages of cancer. anyway, she had very thin skin by then and had been given a microfibre 'towel' to dry herself with. She loved this because all she had to do was pat herself with it and she was dry in seconds with no rubbing.
Now, I don't have thin skin or owt, but wouldn't mind getting one of these - useful for folk with dogs too I should imagine. Anyone got one or know where to get one? otherwise i might have to sew a patchwork one from my cleaning cloths! ; /Mortgage free as of 10/02/2015.
