I'd absolutely buy 'em again
I bought the red based on another customer's review saying she was peeved about the color looking pink. I, however LOVE dark pink and was happy to order some cloths in not-red. Well guys, that was a letdown. They arrived looking red. Not the red of race cars, but a softer, less dramatic red. It was nearly a hot coral reef in the kitchen lighting that evening. The next day, I looked at them in sunlight. Not like faded red, just a muted red. But not pink. Sadly for me. I have 4 brands of microfiber cloth from various places that I've tried out. This is by far the thickest, highest quality of the lot. They aren't the largest size of all, but the thickness of this brand was very helpful to me. They hold a lot more liquid than the other ones I have. If you use something like a dish soap with these, your going to have to rinse a lot. They really do hold quite a bit, which is great for my purposes. I was using an enzyme cleaner with this brand, and there was a little color bleed with that cleaner. Not so much that your microfiber fades to blah. I think any red fabric on earth bleeds in the wash. It's the nature of red dye. Do I get bent about it? Nope. It's still not pink, and that's all I have to say. The thicker cloth is very helpful when you're using it as a just-barely-dampened, not-actually-damp, rag. I was able to wipe off kitchen grease from my sugar & flour glass canisters with ceramic lids. I did use some torque to wipe, but I didn't want to have to go back over it. The same rag did a great job on the face of the stainless, over-the-range microwave. No streaks unless you add too much moisture. Which is what I did the first time. Then it's not going to pull the grease off when it's too damp. Great job on the stainless fridge, too. No streaks. That's never happened before. I use this kind of cloth in place of Swiffer pads to clean floors. I don't like the chemical bath on the floors with my beloved cat existing at that level. I also go barefoot most of the year, and nobody needs all that junk absorbing into your body through your pores. Plus if you use the cleaners you prefer, not the Swiffer and other brands, you can reuse the cloths so many times! Pays for itself right away. It can be a pain in the ass to get the cloth to stay put in the Swiffer teeth when you're aggressively rolling the Swiffer across walls, but especially on the popcorn ceiling. I have many thoughts on popcorn ceilings in bathrooms and kitchens, but they don't help with the cleaning. I am really happy with the results so far and the other brands of microfibers did an okay job but weren't beefy enough to handle the popcorn ceiling without folding into themselves, coming out of the Swiffer teeth, all wrinkled & drippy on my head. If you don't clean at this level, this isn't the review for you. I haven't washed all the cloths yet to see how they turn out. They performed very well with many rinsing, wringing, soaping-up episodes in one morning. I didn't have any lint coming off, either, from the floor cleaning and the kitchen cabinet door and drawer wipedown festival... And the next one I picked up when I was working on the ceiling above the range hood, and then the walls... Yeah also the walls... Nothing came out pink from the cloth bleeding. I know you thought I was going to say it had. Can't speak for the other colors, because I've only gotten this red so far. Honestly, I really almost enjoyed the cleaning with these. I think I'll use up the other brands that I have on the car and miscellaneous other things, and then stick with this brand for in the house--as long as the quality stays the same. I didn't realize that there was even a better kind of microfiber cloth on the market, as I bought these on Amazon, sight-unseen, and had only gotten the others in the grocery store, the big box bath store, and Walmart.
