Zwipes 924 Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, 24 Pack[Amazon-developed Certification] Compact by Design

Background: I have a lot of kids. We use a lot of dishes. They are the sweetest, messiest, and most inspiringly helpful kids I've ever heard of, and since we homeschool, they are here all day making our house a home in all the ways that only kids can.But this is about the cleaning cloths. I've been using similar (I thought they were the same) cleaning cloths as these. They weren't. I honestly thought that all of the "microfiber" cloths were pretty much identical and it was best to select the set that gives you the most bang for your buck. There is something truly different about these. My old ones would get "scratchy" and literally they would make my hands hurt because it's like the material would snag if they hit a rough patch on my hands. These are larger than my old ones. My old ones shrank to a square not much bigger than my hand. These will shrink a bit after the first wash, but they are significantly larger and that extra size seems to add to their usefulness. My old ones were "linty". These aren't at all.I accidentally ordered 2 packages of these. I threw my old ones out and voila - I am now using these things for everything. I get a new one daily for the kitchen and wipe everything down. That takes so much less time than it used to and honest to God, seems to be more effective. I love that I can bleach them and sanitize them in the washer at the end of the week. I love that I can hand rags to three boys and say "Off you go" and they seek out sinks and tubs to wipe down with glee. (They don't know it's work yet. Seriously, they don't).Pros:- Larger size- Seem to clean spills faster and better than a sponge.- Easily cleaned with a bit of bleach in the washer.- Low lintCons:- Well they did shrink up a bit. Compared to others though, it isn't that much of a loss.

I don't typically write long reviews for products, but I definitely wanted to take a few minutes to talk about these microfiber cleaning cloths. They are awesome! It's worth taking a few minutes to research how microfiber cloths pick up dirt and bacteria just so you can fully appreciate what these little cloths are doing with nothing but water. I am trying to reduce the amount of cleaning products in my house and I have been thrilled with microfiber for everyday cleaning. The pick up and hold dirt so well! I'm amazed (and kind of grossed out )by the grime that is being picked up. My house has never felt cleaner.There are lots of microfiber cleaning products now on the market. I own some that are more expensive and they do have a few additional features that these cloths do not have (e.g. a special scrubbing corner) and they are also thicker with better quality stitching. However, for the price of one of two of the more expensive brands you can get a 24 pack of these Zwipes. These wipes do the exact same thing at a fraction of the cost. I don't mind that they are thinner because they are large enough to fold in half if I feel like I need it thicker. The varied colors makes it easy to assign each color to a specific purpose.The ways you can use these handy cloths are endless. Here are some of my favorite uses:- Dusting (use it dry)- Mirrors (wet half of the towel to wipe down the glass and follow up with the dry half to dry)- Electronic screens (use it dry)- Stainless steel (clean with a wet one and follow up with a dry one)- Hardwood floors (mine fits my mop and I use dry ones for dusting and wet ones for mopping)- Soaking up spilled water- cleaning cabinetry- washing the carTo keep these cloths cleaning effectively, make sure you are washing them separately (when washed with other clothes they will pick up and hold on to lint which will be a hassle to get off) and in hot water. They should dried with low heat or air dried.Again, for the price you pay, these are a great value.

I freakin' LOVE these cloths and I use them for EVERYTHING. Dusting - Check. Wipe Down Kitchen - Check. Dry Dishes - Check. Wipe Down Car Windows - Check. Clean Mirrors Streak Free - Check. Wipe Floors - Check. Clean Up Spills - Check. Absorb Water/Liquid Anywhere - Check. Dust Computer Screen & Other Electronics - Check. Clean Bathrooms - Check. What don't I use these for??? They are a great value and I love them, love them, love them. I had stopped buying paper products a long time ago, including paper towels. These are super absorbent and a great substitute for paper products. But, I use them for everything. I have had them for almost (2) years and they have held up GREAT. Have not come apart, unraveled, or anything. Perfect condition as when I purchased them. I wash the ones I use every week and, because I purchased the set of (24), I can keep them everywhere in my house and car. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, car, etc. They do get a bit 'darker' with time from use, but they still work as great as when I first got them. These are so great and do everything. I just wish they would actually clean for me. ; ) Though, they do make the cleaning process a breeze. I just use them dry, with water alone, or a water/vinegar spray depending on how I feel. They dust/clean well with any of these ways. I do use soap/water with these to clean bathroom fixtures and sometimes you have to press a bit harder to 'scrub,' but clean as well as any sponge or other cleaning rag I have used in the past. The size is also perfect for my uses. Excellent product; great bargain. I think they are FANTASTIC and I love the eco-friendliness of re-usable products. I know microfiber does not break down for disposal, but these should last forever. ; )
