Non-Toxic Cleaning: Microfiber Cloths
Microfiber cloths are my new favorite thing. I bought a pack of about 25 for less than $10 in the automotive department at Sam’s Club.
I wanted to try them, I wanted to like them. I didn’t expect to love them. I love them. I use them dry or damp, depending on the job I am attacking. I love the streak-free finish on windows and glass.
It is important to wash them in a load of microfiber cloths alone. If you wash them with other clothing or towels, particles and fibers from those items will cling to the microfiber and make them less effective. Also, don’t use fabric softener as the oils will attach to the fibers of the cloths taking away some of their awesomeness. I designated a bucket for clean cloths and one for dirty ones, once the dirty pile is large enough to make a decent load for the washer, I do a load. Simple as that.
Since switching to microfiber cleaning nearly three months ago, I have yet to use up the roll of paper towels that sits on my kitchen counter. I am very happy!
