Micro-fibre Cleaning Cloth

  I sure do love these micro-fibre cleaning cloths.  I've used them for years and am so afraid I won't be able to find them that I buy three or four each time...and the greatest part is I get them at the dollar store!  They are indispensable in the kitchen and are absolutely perfect for wiping counter tops and appliances, especially the black ones.  They bring up the finish so nicely, with no streaking (a problem I've found on my black appliances).  They take all the grime off without using any chemicals or harsh cleaners, soapy water is all that's required.  The only thing they aren't good for is wiping wood (like a cutting-board), as the fibres make it kind of "stick" to wood surfaces.  As with any cloth, I make sure to rinse it well and spread it out to dry, hammock style, each time, but even so they do get a little stinky after a month or two (you can throw them in the laundry but they just don't get fresh enough to use again in the kitchen) so I simply relegate the old cloth to under the sink for wiping the floor, etc. and break open a new one.  I also keep one in the bathroom for quick clean-ups between cleaning days, cleaning the mirror, and polishing up the taps.  Very cheap, very effective...and just right for cleaning the microwave!  (see Tuesday's post!)
