I usually use microfiber cloths for washing dishes and cleaning the counters. I use the microwave to sterilize them. How do these compare?

I really do like these cloths. Been using one of them for several weeks and it is still in great shape!

I think these are easier to use than the microfiber cloths because they are smaller and have a sturdier feel. They seem to rinse out better also. I still use a microfiber cloth to wipe down my shower after using, but now that I think about it, I think I will try these instead. I guess I was thinking that microfiber did not leave lint but these don't either. My husband actually does the dishes and loves them.

I use the skoy only on the dishes. I like them because you can put them in the microwave or the washing machine. I previously used cotton dish clothes so I can't really compare them to microfiber.

Wow never heard of that before! These plates don't bend/warp and are solid hard microwave plates, perhaps under excessive heat in the hot water washing etc, in the dishwasher it may warp or even crack under those conditions. Had these for quite sometime and had not happen at all. These are relatively inexpensive microw plates and excellent for microwaving food. Esp these are made in the USA.

Well, I suppose you could use the ones that aren't meant for glass cleaning. They are very soft, but I wouldn't recommend using them for that purpose. They are wonderful cloths for cleaning without chemicals.

These are absolutely the best cloths ever. They are antibacterial. Clean with water only. Only cloth I know of that will clean bacteria off counters completely. They are wonderful to clean everywhere. I have one for kitchen, bath, windows. You'll never use anything else! Use only water to clean. They have the best products!!!

regular wash,washing machine ok with small amount of regular clothes detergent.no bleach!.you can dry them in clothes drier(10-15 min),absolutely "no drier sheets",as these will ruin the cloths ability to polish,and remove wax/polish.Also I've tried many microfiber cloths,these are top of the line!

Yes, like sponges, but also no. First, they are thin(isn) and flexible, so they are like a dish cloth. Second, once wet, you can squeeze almost all of the water out and use them to dry things down. Third, because they are thin, they dry quicker and if you take good care to let them dry (like hanging them up with a clothes pin or something) they won't get "nasty". But if they do get sour, wet down and microwave, etc... and they are good as new. I will generally use the same cloth for MONTHS.

I have been using this set for dining with very little microwaving in any of the dishes. The pieces are stamped "microwave and dishwasher safe." They seem fine with the little microwaving to warm something that I've done.

Referring to a previous answer, please don't use microfiber for baby wipes. Microfiber can really irritate the skin! Flannel is my fabric of choice for baby wipes, but terry washcloths work great as well.

Margaret, did not know you could microwave them. I have always washed them by hand. Nice to know.

I used them well after the infant time period so I just used dishwashing soap and or dishwasher. You could use the counter steamer. I never sterilized via microwave. I prefer seventh generation unscented dishwashing liquid or pamolitive (sp.?) as those are gentle.

I would wash them with dish soap and rinse in very hot water, let them air dry. If you are worried about bacteria, boil water and dip the cloth end in to sterilize.

I have used the Costco yellow microfiber cloths, the tag on them states Eurow brand. Eurow site states 120,000 fibers per inch, Zwipes 90,000 make your choice. I have been very happy with the Costco, they wash well as long as you wash seperately, not with towels, or other lint giving material. Stand up well for car washing and a host of household cleaning. Good purchase.

I don't know why you'd want to wash & reuse the cloths. They're really small (about 3" square) - enough to do the job. If you want microfiber cloths, You can buy them anywhere.

I'm sorry, I haven't used them in the microwave. I tend to use glass in the microwave.They are holding up very nice though in the dishwasher.

Microfiber with just water is a proven disinfectant system. You don't need to use any cleaner additive if residue is a concern.

I would say any microfiber will do the job. I think you can also use swifter cloth's too.
