Microfiber Cleaning Cloths

Jun 25, 2009 11:16

 Many of you know about these - this is for those who don't, yet.

You can buy, almost anywhere, cheaply in bulk, inexpensively in small packages:  cleaning cloths, purportedly made of "micro-fiber".

Sounds like a marketing scam?  Probably some of them are, but I haven't found those yet.

They clean very well, pick up dust and hold on to it (until you ( Read more... )

I was certain this was a scam. You're telling me they really do get the dust off and don't just waft it into the air the way a dry dust cloth (I use baby diapers) does?

heh. We used to use EndDust on diapers, old T-shirts, disintegrating sheets, etc. It worked pretty well.

But, yes, these things work well. Very good with dust. Good at cleaning mirrors, leaving neither streaks nor lint. Good at messier jobs, too, but then the cloth gets very dirty. It washes out well, but not perfectly. Carol Jean's sister doesn't like them because they don't wash out perfectly. We reserve different ones for different tasks.

When my daughter was young, she had a stuffed bear with a nice, soft fur. She used to like to rub its ear against her cheek, and, when she was feeling sociable, would rub it against her companion's cheek. Carol Jean made a spare ear for her for convenience and emergencies. I bet this stuff would make a great such appliance (pure speculation, haven't tried it), but I suppose Bunny Bright is a bit old for it.

You are quite welcome!

When I was reading up to answer some of these questions, I found that the NBA had tried microfiber-covered basketballs one year (absorb sweat better than leather) but stopped after other problems, one being cuts on players' hands. I haven't had any trouble that way, but I hereby withdraw my speculation about its suitability for fuzzies-for-tots. :-(

That is v. good to know. Although I think the fake fur/fleece people have the "fuzzy for tots" covered. The Mighty Mite's fave blanket is this fuzzy fleece thing w/a satin trim. It's grey, now of course, but still v. v. soft.
