microfibre cloths

Claireabell

Ok, so what is the deal with these??
I have read how graet they are, and bought two when I got my star drops. But the thing is- I cant see any difference to using a 'normal' cloth or cut up rag.
Am i missing somthing 'magical' in the way I am using it?

Cheers

Well, these one or two of us on here, (me included) who think they are wonderful

They pick up dust far better than those yellow dusters, they just spread it around.
They are better when washing up, you can dry the drainer with a wet cloth

You can have different colours for different jobs "pink for sink" etc

Seriously, as far as I know, the fabric consistes of little hooks which hook under whatever your trying to clean, like washing powder does, and pick up grime that way. The cloth is killed if you use fabric softener though.

ooh I love microfibre cloths! You can never have too many
I use a damp one (just water on it) to dust and then a dry one to buff.
They are great for cleaning glass, mirrors and stainless steel kitchen appliances.

Yep, they are great. Just remember you need a wee bit of disinfectant or bleach over and above (but do not mix) to keep things hygienic. I do a wipe round every other night but I do the bug killers too. Remember when you wash microfibre cloths do not do fabric conditioner. However, today, found out if you have waterproof clothing needing reproofed. Wash. Then wash again no powder and about about 3-4 capfuls of fabric conditioner. Will get feedback from colleagues today when they all did it.
