Microfiber or cotton cleaning cloth?

Choosing between Cotton Cleaning Cloths and Micrfiber Cloths is really a preference issue. Many of our customers LOVE the cotton cloths and others prefer the Microfiber. Jeff swears by the cotton but happily added the Microfibers at the request of our customers.

Cotton is a natural fabric that is lint free, absorbent and durable. Time tested, it has been effectively used for cleaning for years and years. Because it is washable and reusable it is far more cost effective to use than paper towels or other disposables.

Microfiber cloths are manufactured with special fibers that have sharp edges. This causes them to be more absorbent and able to grab and hold dust and grime with ease. Any type can be used on just about any surface. But due to the variety of textures available in Microfiber, Jeff has suggested specific uses for each or our Microfibers to help you choose which you might find best for a given task;
**Green for dusting. (Little or no cleaner needed!)
**Yellow for glass and mirrors. (Again, less cleaner. A dryer cloth means goodbye streaks.)
**Purple for polishing. (I.e. glasses, electronics and monitors.)
**Blue for general cleaning. (Everything else.)

For the convenience of our customers, we have a kit available with one of each color Microfiber cloth. A great way to use each one and define your preference!
