They also work great on smooth-top stoves. Just spray with glass cleaner and wipe with a microfiber cloth. Shines like new!

Great article on microfiber, I have short hair, so I use a microfiber facial cloth to “wash” my hair, it picks up the dirt and it gives it a fresher look without having to totally wash it. If you are camping, take one with; that way you can still spruce up with just a limited amount of water. If you have camera and computers clean them without scratching with a microfiber suede cloth. I like to dampen mine and “dust” with it. When it fills up with dirt just rinse in hot water and maybe alittle soap. Yes, microfiber loves hot water, but it doesn’t like high heat when drying. The hot water causes the fibers to swell pushing out the dirt, high dryer heat can fry the fibers. If you have stainless steel appliances clean them with a microfiber dish cloth, and you can throw the stainless steel cleaner away. Got a small pet, use a microfiber cloth to give them a quick bath too. Looking for a new bath or beach towel, try a microfiber bath towel, they are soft, supeabsorbent and dry out faster between uses.

Microfiber cloths are good, but there is an alternative product on the market that is just as good if not better; also available in the automotive section of a store. This magical product is called SCOTT SHOP TOWELS on a ROLL. Before anyone gets upset about using a paper product on a roll, let me stress that not only are these strong towels and soft to the touch, but they are hand washable and re-useable too !! These SCOTT towels are great to use dry or wet. I have used them in my home for at least two years now and always finding new uses for them. I use them to clean and polish my furniture, clean my copper, stainless steel, glassware, mirrors and floors. Instead of buying those epensive replacement towels to use with those cleaning handles that you apply a paper cloth to, I use SCOTT SHOP TOWELS on a ROLL instead. I just tuck the corners in each corner location on the mop or broom head. The great thing about using The SCOTT SHOP TOWELS on a ROLL for this purpose is that, instead of tossing them after you clean the floor or other use; they can be rinsed out and then washed using a mild dishwashing detergent, then hung to dry. I use a wooden sweater rack in my launry room to hang my towels on to dry. Anyway, not to burst anyone’s bubble on using mircofiber towels, using these Scott Towels are a nice, clean alternative, a pretty blue color, and are environmentally friendly becasue you can re-use them. When it does come time to dispose of them; they easily break down in a compost pile and make a nice water absorbing material when used in a garden, that will help reduce watering time, because they retain moisture so well.

I love microfiber too, it is great for cleaning just about anything. I like it because of it’s “green” qualities as well. There isn’t any need for all those chemical cleaners when you use microfiber!
I am glad you have used it for diaper inserts, my daughter has used them on our granddaughter too. Microfiber makes great bath products too; soft, absorbent bath towels, facial/wash cloths, sport towels, hand towels and even microfiber headbands.

I have been using microfiber cloths for years, and I love them. All you need is water to clean all kinds of stuff. They really work great. I got mine at simplygoodstuff.com. They have many different kinds there.

I love Microfiber!!! I was thinking about diaper liners (I still have 6 months until I need them Also, I’ve heard that you shouldn’t wash them in Hot water, it weaekens the fibers or something, so I wash mine in warm or cold usually. Also, I’ve gotten them on clearance at Wal-Mart in the automotive section when they put car wash stuff on sale. so you may want to check there too.
ps- LOVE the SITE, keep up the great work!

Thanks for posting at my blog. Wish I could help you with plastic wrap, LOL! I heard if you keep it in the fridge, it doesn’t stick to itself, but I’ve never tried that.

I’m impressed that you’ve found so many uses for the microfiber cloth. I may have to go to COSTCO and look for them.

Thanks for sharing!
