Hi Melissa. I have been using Maker's Microfiber cloths ever since you first started selling them. They are great. They have really made cleaning so much easier and they wash beautifully. For people who are concerned about the price, they save me money in cleaning products since plain water works for a lot of surfaces when I use these cloths. For example, I have a magnifying make-up mirror that I use every day. I always seem to get make-up and hairspray on it. I used to clean it with glass cleaner and paper towels, but that seemed to smear the gunk around and took a lot of effort. Now, I just wet a microfiber cloth, wring it out well and easily wipe away the gunk and grime on my mirror. I have a three level townhouse and I have a pile of these on each level. Love them!
I, personally, would rather spend a bit more time cleaning than release a bit more microplastics into the water supply. Also, did you account for the microplastic contamination that occur from manufacturing the cloths? What about the human costs? Where are they manufactured? It would sure be cool if you could sell natural fiber microfiber cloths. Have you looked into it? I'm a loyal follower, have learned a lot from you and just prefer bamboo or hemp over microfiber when I employ your very helpful cleaning tips. Thank you!
I got a large space kit about two years ago. I keep one plush one and a glass cloth in the car. The second plush one I use as a bath rug and I have colour coded the rest - blue for dusting, the purple ones for the bathrooms. They still work amazing and I do wash them approximately once a week. The kitchen towels are a bomb too! ❤️
I bought my set two years ago during the black Friday sale and was amazed at the size of these cloths. When they went on sale again, I purchased A couple more sets of the waffle weave cloths in glacier.
I just ordered my first microfiber cloths. I am so excited to get them and clean! Wait, did I just say I'm excited to clean😱😱??? Your videos are changing my mind set. 😉😃
Love your videos! I'm buying my first set. It would be amazing if the tag said what the microfiber is for. IE this is for glass, this is for general purpose. Would be great when having others help clean. Thank you! You are so amazing!
Hey CMS! Could you please do a video about cleaning for people with autoimmune issues, like folks going through medical treatment that weakens their immune systems, or those with naturally weak immune systems? That would really help a lot of folks! Thank you for everything you’re sharing.
Maker's Clean Microfibre cloths are my religion. I bought them a few years back and I haven't looked at paper towels since! I think microfibre had a bad rep because of the dollar store ones that are cheap and little. I've bought them as gifts, I've added to my collection a bit every year and the towels are THE BEST! This is the best cleaning tool I have ever purchased.
I absolutely love my super large bathroom towels. Had to use a traditional towel at a hotel recently and immediately missed my towels at home. I would love a hair towel and twists and secures!
Soooooo worth it! I just ordered the large kit and I already have a bunch of them. I just keep giving them away as presents to people because I love and believe in them so much!
This was very informative! And now I feel terrible about all the clothes I own made of poly fibers... suggestion: more colors of the waffle weave cloths! Maybe a white for bathrooms, or a burgundy/navy/emerald green for holidays. Although I’d use navy year round.
I like to use the microfiber clothes to clean windows, especially the windshield in my car. I clean them with just water. They are clean and streak free unlike when I used window cleaner and paper towels.
Maker's Microfibre Cloths are amazing! They're highly absorbant, and I like that each one serves a particular cleaning purpose. If you were to make the minis and waffle weave in turquoise, that would be great!👌🏽
I have tried putting them in the dryer on low or no heat. And I have air dried them. I actually like air drying more. I also have some cheap cloths before I found yours. And I use them for really gross messes and I pitch them. I take care of yours as instructed. Thanks!!
Hello CMS! I hesitated about purchasing these clothes for probably a year. I saw the black Friday sale and thought hmm I might as well finally try them! I wanted to use the microfiber clothes for a while to give an honest review. I wanted to try most of the cloths so I purchased a small space kit, an auto kit and a pack of waffle weave cloths. The only cloth I didn’t purchase was the optical cloth. I am a very VERY picky cloth person. I have literally tried every brand of dish towel. I have 3 drawers of towels in my kitchen. I would consider myself a home cook so my cloths need to stand up to the challenges in the kitchen. I have used Norwex clothes for years and wanted to see how these compared. Notes: -I live in an area with very hard water and I also wash all my dishes by hand. - I use my own multipurpose spray made of vinegar, dish soap and essential oils. -I have been washing them in cold or warm water with very gentle soap and I hang to dry them finish off on the low setting in the dryer. I have used the clothes for over a month now and this is my review: #1 the general purpose cloth: This cloth is awesome. It’s so absorbent; I can’t believe how much liquid it can suck up. I have been using it for general cleaning around the kitchen and house. #2 the waffle weave cloth: 1 word: AMAZING. I would buy a hundred of these if I could afford it! I have never had a tea towel be so absorbent and dry dishes better than this! I hosted my family at Christmas and they all raved about these clothes. I ended up purchasing some as gifts for relatives. I also use it for a hair towel as Melissa suggested. My hair dries soo fast and it’s more shiny and manageable. #3 the glass and electronics cloth - I have only used this to clean mirrors and my glass coffee tables. I spray the surface with a multipurpose spray similar to Melissa’s. They work great! #4 the makers mini cloth -I love this cloth and have been using it with my baby to clean her face and wipe down her highchair after meals. Same great quality as the general purpose clothes - just smaller. #5 the double - sided utility cloth - I haven’t used this cloth as much, but it is soooo plush and soft. I used it to clean the front of my stove and it worked well. I could see how it would work great for stainless steel appliances. If you are hesitating on buying any of these clothes....DON’T. I wish I didn’t wait so long. I actually ordered a few more cloths on Boxing Day!
I have been fascinated by the videos, websites, comments and reviews about microfiber cloths and specially the part where they say it makes cleaning so much easier and faster. That is it, I need to have some. Thanks for your review.
my cornea specialist recommended makeup removal with a microfiber cloth. They work great. I've had some that were fairly cheap that still go through washes at 2 years regularly and they work fine. Kinda surprises me but any strong bar of soap get the oil/makeup right out.
Just made a purchase! I bought towels from you last year, and a bunch of different towels from amazon and various stores. Yours are the only ones that held up so many washes and still clean like the day I got them. :)
I LOVE the microfiber cloths I bought from Maker's Clean. Bought on July 1st (Wednesday), and they were here by the next Monday 💖. Laundered them all as recommended, though it was a hard wrench, especially with the fluffy Mango ones. Really helping get all the water off the tiles after a shower. My apartment is still infested with moving boxes, so not a lot to clean. Kitchen sink and counters are happy though!
I always wondered why everyone raved about microfiber because they never seemed to work for me. Apparently I was buying the cheap stuff! Yours are amazing and I'm shocked at how they work! I know you say it all the time, but of course you're trying to sell something... so that is to be expected. Using them with just water it amazes me the things that they pick up! Thank you, Melissa!
Yep . I was a professional house cleaner for years . I just used water and a microfiber cloth to dust all furniture. Then you never get streaks . They’re awesome that way . And I use them to wash my face . My only problem is that I use Squalane oil on my face first to loosen sunscreen and grime . Oils do ruin the cloths . I hate that . Because the combination of the squalane and the cloth really cleans and exfoliates so well 😊
Kind of a bummer that the response to the concern about microplastics in our waterways was waved away with that yoga pants defense. Thanks for addressing it honestly though.
I think a microfiber ball that can be fastened to a wand would be great. Then it can be removed for cleaning. This would allow for use in odd spaces where hands or arms dont fit well. (Dusting between wall and fridge for instance.)
I am a retired Lead custodian and I'll tell you we used microfiber towel for cleaning everyday. When cleaning like school desks the microfiber towels clean at least 4 times better than terry towels. After washing in a washing machine they come out like new. I use them now at home for cleaning, doing window, just about everything.
Even if microfiber is better than a cotton rag at removing bacteria from a surface, that surfave will not remain that any for any length of time. Science has shown that bacteria are EVERYWHERE, and the vast majority of them are harmless. In fact, to create a bacteris free surface and keep it that way will cost a lot more in time and resources than the production of that microfiber cloth is worth.
They may not be the biggest culprit of micro-plastics, but they still are a source. Even if you use a guppy bag, they cloths themselves are still made of plastic. They might biodegrade... but, they don't disappear. Once you make these cloths, they are here forever. Yes they are saving waste from other ways of cleaning, but there are also other alternatives that don't shed plastic. A ton of wood fiber, or hemp fiber cloths out there that work just as well. Sorry, I won't be buying these. I was hoping the "Truth" would be actually helpful.
I love microfiber cloths BUT and it's a big BUT I have large dogs and I struggle with getting them clean when they come in contact with any sort of dog hair or small leaves and dirt. Is there a trick to getting them clean?
I buy these in large packs of 10 for under 10 and I use them for nearly all cleaning and I launder them the way I launder the rest of my laundry and so far so good. They’re great! Tfs!
Same, I was using paper towels until recently and the difference is so amazing! I was like oooooooh, this is why everyone loves them. The tabletop or bench top is sooooo smooth and clean to touch now
Frank Gutowski paper tower is a waste of money. If you clean your microfiber towels using a desinfectant and change them on a daily basis, you will not be worried about germs :)
I absolutely ♥️♥️ your cloths! I have had mine since you brought them out and they are still great. I just stocked up with the sale to get the new charcoal colors... can’t wait to receive them!
I agree with you so completely about pledge and oils to clean wood. It doesnt clean at all. It just cakes that wax or silicone on. If you refinish wood, and you use those kinds of products it can ruin the wood too.
Two packs of the multipurpose clothes, with the option to pick two different colors! I like using certain colors for certain rooms, and can only buy the pack in one color or the other!
My husband loves microfiber cloths for his car. He buys this mitt looking one that gives him a lot of suds. He also uses another mitt for dusting. Not sure you can come up with a mopping/car cleaning combo solution? I do see a lot of comments for hair and face. I think that is also a good idea.
With regards to concerns about fibres going into the water, there are various options to combat this: Cora balls, guppy friend bags, or a filter that attaches to your washing machine.
Funny story! I ordered the microfiber clothes and optical cloths during the Black Friday sale. I have been SO busy through the holidays that some haven’t even been used or open. However, I opened the optical cloths thinking the were the microfiber mini cloths and using them on my counters. I kept wondering why everyone liked these as they didn’t work so well. Finally went to the site to see WTH I was doing wrong..........well........now to use the correct cloths for the right “stuff”!
I have very shiny black quartz countertops... anything other than a very good quality microfiber leaves streaks and water droplets. Yes, they’re a pain, but microfiber cloths give it a perfect mirror like shine
I’d like to see you add kitchen cloths. My mom used to use a cloth instead of a sponge. Hate sponges but haven’t found a microfiber cloth the right size to keep at my sink. Something that’s about half the size of a cleaning cloth would work.
Although I already have the large bath sheets, I would love it if there was something sewn on or a grommet to hang it. It falls often and I have a cat that will pee on any towel he sees. These towels are too nice for that. Until I can add my own grommet, Ive been using a metal curtain ring with a clip.
I can't believe it's this difficult. I have been trying to find towels to dry my dishes, but everything I have purchased lately has been terrible. I've bought 2 different kinds from Amazon. Both had reviews through the roof. The first one I thought was 100% cotton, but it turned out to be 100% spun cotton. The second one are the microfiber towels. The first one does nothing but push the water and the microfiber one gets drenched quickly. I have some other towels my mother left me that are what I assume just plain old 100% cotton. These things you can dry dish after dish and you almost never feel moisture. I can't seem to find this material anywhere since they have been replaced by this new stuff that doesn't work nearly as well IMO.
I am going to order the pro pack and the general cleaning PAC, I will split it with my daughter who cleans people's houses. Remember, you only get what you pay for. I understand if you aren't in a place to buy them, but maybe one day. I agree with the person who said what great tips we get for free. Thank you
I have a serious question, is it ok to use Lysol Sanitizer in the rinse cycle? If I use vinegar to sanitize the ones I use in the bathroom I would easily use a gallon or more each month because I'm guilty of cleaning my bathroom daily. Thank you and Happy Holidays!!
Hi! New subscriber here! How often do you use the same cloth? In your "how often,should I clean video", you stated that you use a new dish towel (waffle weave cloth), every 24-48 hours. What frequency, would you recommend for the other clothes? In other words ,how many uses can a cloth withstand, before being laundered? How many of each cloth, would you suggest having?
Melissa I have brought other high gsm microfiber cloths and they suggest boiling grease or oil filled microfiber cloths in a saucepan of water dish soap or powder, then washing normally. It seems to work, but is it something you have tried with your cloths? I'm wondering if it might shorten the life of my cloths or worse, make me think that they are clean when they're not 🤔. I have read hot water helps to release the dust and dirt from the fibres but as an expert..is this true? I trust you're judgement and would love to know.. ps..love the colour range you have..it makes colour coding my cloths so much easier 😍
I am laundering microfibre towels as you suggest. I’m still having trouble with a powdery residue which is left on glass. Suggestions to eliminate this? Thanks MM!😊
I literally just opened the pack of cloths I recently ordered to begin cleaning today. Then I logged on to turn on your videos which I play non stop while I clean to keep me motivated. Voila! I see this big sale on the cloths. Just ordered another pack to reduce my net cost. :)
Thank you, Melissa, for this video! I wonder, how often shall I wash them? I rinse them with water and hang them up to dry, and use them again. Thank you from Stockholm!
I recently found out that microfibers are not good for marine life because when washed the fibers get into the water supply. Do you have any comments or ideas on how to solve this? Microfiber cloths are great, but this is very dismaying, and I may go back to cotton (quality napkins bought at yard sales). Thanks.
What can I put in the laundry together? I clean different surfaces on different days so tend to have a variety of used cloths about. I don't want to run the laundry for one or two items, but don't want to cross-contaminate either. Any tips?
Have been watching your channel for years and own a set. But I’m afraid to use them. I’d love some care instructions with the packaging or at least a link. I bought mine when they first came out so this might have changed. It also was a time btwn when I ordered and received. So I had honestly forgotten my research on them. Thank you so much for posting the links to some of you favorite products!
i just started using you bath towels there is 2 negatives bath towel so color identifiable also make a wash cloths i am still have them folder and in a label ready to go in my camper to full time living
Went on the Canadian site and the Pro Pack is out of stock what a bummer ! Also is it free shipping in Canada with orders over 50 dollars ! Does anyone know ? Thanks in advance 👍🏼
you came to my mind when i saw microfiber cloths at the supermarket. i bought some and oh my goddddddddddd thank you SO much, Melissa. hug from Argentina
No wonder why my microfiber cloths are awful after like a year. I clean up with these whether its greasy or not. If my stove is greasy, I use my loose woven dish rag to clean it, but if it isn't bad, I use my microfiber cloths. However, my microfiber cleaning rags/pads, to dry mop my floors works excellent and cant see those getting ruined anytime soon, probably would be the only time microfiber will last forever. I'm just going to go back to cotton Terry cloth or like a low shed rag like a flour sack. Plus I'm just finding out recent its kinda bad for the environment and I threw out quite a few since I have been using them. I'm just going to go back to natural cotton.
How do you know when it’s time to get new microfiber cloths? I bought yours about2 years ago and it seems like they are starting to smell now. I love how they clean but the fact that they smell is making me think I need new ones.
I wash mine in bleach water.. soak them... then wash. Don't buy the bleach with added smell.. that's deluted bleach n doesnt work. Then a little blue dawn ultra dish detergent to the load n it will really help.. repeat another day if it doesn't get all the smell out the first time
@brown bird plus they pick up every piece of lint you ever saw and you have to wash them separate from your other clothes and towels. I just don't like the feel of them either.
@@sharonlatour6230 Why would you want to wash cleaning cloths with your clothes? Regardless of the type of cleaning cloth, I don't think it's smart to wash them with your clothes.
My daughter sent me a microfiber toeel. I love love it. And it does a better job of drying my hair.wish they were in the stores and didn't have to be ordered
I found them to be great for dusting! I just used the general purpose Makers Clean cloth for that the other day. I loosely shook it out in the trash can but haven't tried cleaning it yet, so I'm not sure if it needs a more thorough shakeout.

I like using them but I don't like how the fabric feels in my hand.
Me too!! I can't stand it.
Wear gloves
Yeah i prefer the kinda rough feeling type of towels.
@@silverfox7681 it doesn't feel good with gloves on either.
The reason you guys don't like the way they feel is due to the fibers grabbing the surface of your skin. Try the back of your hand.

What about taking waffle weave and adding a button and elastic. Turban for the win!
I have noticed if I go to bed with wet hair wrapped in the waffle weave towel - its much smoother in the morning, not sure why but it feels lovely...
I need to try that. I love my med waffle towel for my hair, would love one that was a turban with a secure button.

My husband loves microfiber cloths for his car. He buys this mitt looking one that gives him a lot of suds. He also uses another mitt for dusting. Not sure you can come up with a mopping/car cleaning combo solution? I do see a lot of comments for hair and face. I think that is also a good idea.
With regards to concerns about fibres going into the water, there are various options to combat this: Cora balls, guppy friend bags, or a filter that attaches to your washing machine.
Do you think you'll ever make your microfiber clothes without the tags? Generally worried about marring soft surfaces like car paint.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Funny story! I ordered the microfiber clothes and optical cloths during the Black Friday sale. I have been SO busy through the holidays that some haven’t even been used or open. However, I opened the optical cloths thinking the were the microfiber mini cloths and using them on my counters. I kept wondering why everyone liked these as they didn’t work so well. Finally went to the site to see WTH I was doing wrong..........well........now to use the correct cloths for the right “stuff”!
Would it be possible to put the purpose for the on the makers tag? I always forget what cloth to use for the cleaning purposes .
I have very shiny black quartz countertops... anything other than a very good quality microfiber leaves streaks and water droplets. Yes, they’re a pain, but microfiber cloths give it a perfect mirror like shine
I’d like to see you add kitchen cloths. My mom used to use a cloth instead of a sponge. Hate sponges but haven’t found a microfiber cloth the right size to keep at my sink. Something that’s about half the size of a cleaning cloth would work.
Although I already have the large bath sheets, I would love it if there was something sewn on or a grommet to hang it. It falls often and I have a cat that will pee on any towel he sees. These towels are too nice for that. Until I can add my own grommet, Ive been using a metal curtain ring with a clip.
Im definitely buying some of YOUR microfiber cloths!!
Update: Just ordered your ProPack. Looking forward to trying out your microfiber cloths!
Thanks Erin, let us know what you think of them!!
@@cleanmyspace are you selling now internationally to Australia?
I love white bath towels. I ordered the grey, but looking forward to seeing white on product option 😊. Thanks for the video good to know the FAQ
It would be interesting to compare Makers, H2O at Home, and Norwex clothes.
Yes! This!
I can't believe it's this difficult. I have been trying to find towels to dry my dishes, but everything I have purchased lately has been terrible. I've bought 2 different kinds from Amazon. Both had reviews through the roof. The first one I thought was 100% cotton, but it turned out to be 100% spun cotton. The second one are the microfiber towels. The first one does nothing but push the water and the microfiber one gets drenched quickly. I have some other towels my mother left me that are what I assume just plain old 100% cotton. These things you can dry dish after dish and you almost never feel moisture. I can't seem to find this material anywhere since they have been replaced by this new stuff that doesn't work nearly as well IMO.
I am going to order the pro pack and the general cleaning PAC, I will split it with my daughter who cleans people's houses. Remember, you only get what you pay for. I understand if you aren't in a place to buy them, but maybe one day. I agree with the person who said what great tips we get for free. Thank you
Just placed my first order and looking forward to receiving my cloths and sharing them with my family
I have a serious question, is it ok to use Lysol Sanitizer in the rinse cycle? If I use vinegar to sanitize the ones I use in the bathroom I would easily use a gallon or more each month because I'm guilty of cleaning my bathroom daily. Thank you and Happy Holidays!!
Hi! New subscriber here!
How often do you use the same cloth? In your "how often,should I clean video", you stated that you use a new dish towel (waffle weave cloth), every 24-48 hours. What frequency, would you recommend for the other clothes? In other words ,how many uses can a cloth withstand, before being laundered?
How many of each cloth, would you suggest having?
Melissa I have brought other high gsm microfiber cloths and they suggest boiling grease or oil filled microfiber cloths in a saucepan of water dish soap or powder, then washing normally. It seems to work, but is it something you have tried with your cloths? I'm wondering if it might shorten the life of my cloths or worse, make me think that they are clean when they're not 🤔. I have read hot water helps to release the dust and dirt from the fibres but as an expert..is this true? I trust you're judgement and would love to know.. ps..love the colour range you have..it makes colour coding my cloths so much easier 😍
I am laundering microfibre towels as you suggest. I’m still having trouble with a powdery residue which is left on glass. Suggestions to eliminate this? Thanks MM!😊
Ordered my first set of Makers thanks to the Black Friday event! ❤️❤️❤️
I literally just opened the pack of cloths I recently ordered to begin cleaning today. Then I logged on to turn on your videos which I play non stop while I clean to keep me motivated. Voila! I see this big sale on the cloths. Just ordered another pack to reduce my net cost. :)
Thank you, Melissa, for this video! I wonder, how often shall I wash them? I rinse them with water and hang them up to dry, and use them again. Thank you from Stockholm!
Microfiber mop or cushion head to put on a Swiffer or Ryon? I could totally see that be awesome for picking up dust and sander from hard wood floors!
I recently found out that microfibers are not good for marine life because when washed the fibers get into the water supply. Do you have any comments or ideas on how to solve this? Microfiber cloths are great, but this is very dismaying, and I may go back to cotton (quality napkins bought at yard sales). Thanks.
What can I put in the laundry together? I clean different surfaces on different days so tend to have a variety of used cloths about. I don't want to run the laundry for one or two items, but don't want to cross-contaminate either. Any tips?
Have been watching your channel for years and own a set. But I’m afraid to use them. I’d love some care instructions with the packaging or at least a link. I bought mine when they first came out so this might have changed. It also was a time btwn when I ordered and received. So I had honestly forgotten my research on them. Thank you so much for posting the links to some of you favorite products!
Also I have the mango color cloth. Ultra plush. Is this sold anymore? Did it get renamed or replaced? Is is similar to the double sided utility?
I would love to buy your Pro pack' but by the time I convert the price to Australian dollars it becomes to expensive even with 40% off.
I would like to see a pretty pink face cloth 🌸😊🌸. Btw 💚 the eyeglass cloth!
great to see you love microfiber towels God bless and as always have a beautiful day
Thanks for Teaching us about these Cloths!
Will the bath sheet ever be available in white?
Good questions with great answers
i just started using you bath towels there is 2 negatives bath towel so color identifiable also make a wash cloths i am still have them folder and in a label ready to go in my camper to full time living
A what temperature should I wash (og dry) my microfiber cloths? My cold circle is 30 Celsius, is that ok? And will they get clean in such cold water?
I’d love it if you could produce some mini cloths that were safe to clean eyeglass lenses. Love your cloths by the way!
We have these, they're new, called the Optical Cloth.
Off topic... what products do you use on your hair? In curious what shampoo, conditioner, etc. ❤
Hi Melissa
Is it possible to get your microfiber cloths from Amazon UK?
What do u think of those e cloths that r supposed to disinfect? Do they work?
You can unclig them! Wash them with vinegar OR soak in running alcohol then wring & soak again then wring
Thank you for the information. Very helpful.
Went on the Canadian site and the Pro Pack is out of stock what a bummer ! Also is it free shipping in Canada with orders over 50 dollars ! Does anyone know ? Thanks in advance 👍🏼
Thank you for sharing n creating awareness. 😊
I just purchased mine. Ive wanted a set of your microfiber cloths for such a long time. Glad to be able to use them in my cleaning from now on!
you came to my mind when i saw microfiber cloths at the supermarket. i bought some and oh my goddddddddddd
thank you SO much, Melissa. hug from Argentina
Thank you for this video. 👍👌😎🎯 From 🇨🇦 in going to buy and try your product.
Love my Makers Cloths!!
No wonder why my microfiber cloths are awful after like a year. I clean up with these whether its greasy or not. If my stove is greasy, I use my loose woven dish rag to clean it, but if it isn't bad, I use my microfiber cloths. However, my microfiber cleaning rags/pads, to dry mop my floors works excellent and cant see those getting ruined anytime soon, probably would be the only time microfiber will last forever. I'm just going to go back to cotton Terry cloth or like a low shed rag like a flour sack. Plus I'm just finding out recent its kinda bad for the environment and I threw out quite a few since I have been using them. I'm just going to go back to natural cotton.
How do you know when it’s time to get new microfiber cloths? I bought yours about2 years ago and it seems like they are starting to smell now. I love how they clean but the fact that they smell is making me think I need new ones.
I wash mine in bleach water.. soak them... then wash. Don't buy the bleach with added smell.. that's deluted bleach n doesnt work. Then a little blue dawn ultra dish detergent to the load n it will really help.. repeat another day if it doesn't get all the smell out the first time
If you look at their FAQ section on their website they recommend soaking them in vinegar.
Do u ever boil hot water and soak them or boil them to unclog them i heard u could
What do you use to clean the stove top if cloth shouldnt be used?
does the colour come out of your clothes when you wash them ? and are they available in england or on amazon u.k ?
Do these micro plastic fibers have any effect on the environment?
Edit: I see this is addressed at about nine minutes for anyone interested.
I learned about this filter today! It filters microplastics from your laundry! www.girlfriend.com/products/water-filter
They get into the water systems. I stopped using microfibers and switched to 100% cotton flour sack towels. I love them. Sorry Melissa Maker
Sharon La Tour That’s what I’d read but wasn’t sure how solid the science was.
@brown bird plus they pick up every piece of lint you ever saw and you have to wash them separate from your other clothes and towels. I just don't like the feel of them either.
@@sharonlatour6230 Why would you want to wash cleaning cloths with your clothes? Regardless of the type of cleaning cloth, I don't think it's smart to wash them with your clothes.
My daughter sent me a microfiber toeel. I love love it. And it does a better job of drying my hair.wish they were in the stores and didn't have to be ordered
I love that you had a monochromatic pack. I bought that one
My new favourite colour!
Can you dust with them? After dusting do you shake them out outside? Or do you just throw it into the wash? God bless
I found them to be great for dusting! I just used the general purpose Makers Clean cloth for that the other day. I loosely shook it out in the trash can but haven't tried cleaning it yet, so I'm not sure if it needs a more thorough shakeout.
