I buy mine at the Sam's club, IIRC 24 for $12. We have about 36 of them

Honestly, I refused to buy microfibre products for some time. Kept
seeing people everywhere using them for cleaning floors and stuff.
Thought all the claims of what they could do were hyperbole. Then I
used one to clean my glasses. It has been sitting on my desk for over
a year, only wash it every six months. Yet, no matter how grungy the
rag is, it always cleans my glasses lens perfectly.

Been starting to wonder what else they can clean. They most definitely
grab all the errant sawdust off my wood just before I stain or finish
it.


Great for wiping down appliances, and counter tops, they don't leave
streaks. I use "2" 16x16 towels to dry my pick-up after I wash it.

Bona floor products uses a micro fiber towel on their mops. I saw just
the mop at a trade show and water was being used as the solvent, saw the
guy open an Ozarka bottle of water, take a drink out of it and then pour
a bit on a heel scuff mark on tile. The water and the microfiber towel
took the mark up. With stubborn marks I simply stand on the mop and rub
with my foot.

They also work as a great sponge, I now soak up the bottom of a toilet
tank with a micro fiber towel when replacing the valve assembly.

Good for dusting and as you have seen cleaning and or drying your glasses.
