Super soft! Great for polishing; not so great for general cleaning
I initially purchased these because I wanted a few smaller cloths to use when cleaning my kitchen cabinets. Most of my microfiber cloths are 16x16in or 16x24in, which are great for counters, walls, floors, etc., but a little too bulky when trying to get into the nooks and crannies of kitchen cabinets. At 12x12in, the size of these cloths are great, but they’re a little too soft to use as an all purpose cleaning cloth. I prefer for my cleaning cloths to have a little roughness to them, which makes them effective at cleaning dirt and grime off surfaces without having to scrub much. These clothes are so soft that they glide over the dirt and grime, which means more scrubbing / pressure is needed to actually clean the surface. I’ve washed and dried these cloths on med/hot, and they don’t appear to have roughened up after a few washes. They are also on the thinner side as well, so if you’re looking for a thick, plushy microfiber cloth, these are not that. The seller doesn’t have the GSM rating listed, but they are nowhere near the thickness of my 350GSM cloths. I’m still giving these cloths a 5 star rating because they appear to hold up in the wash, are well made, and do not leave lint behind. At less than $1/ cloth, they’re also reasonably priced. Because they are so soft, they work well as a polishing cloth or as a drying cloth once the actual “cleaning” has been done. They also work very well on mirrors and windows. While I don’t use them for this purpose, since they are incredibly soft, I could also see them working very well for makeup removal / face cleansing! Overall I’m not disappointed by these cloths, I’ll just be using them for specific tasks rather than as a general cleaning cloth! Read more
