Wonderful for dusting and cleaning inside the house or out, catching spills, etc. Keep several in the car for that, as well as a pile we use to wipe down our motorcycles after riding. They work great for that and can be tossed into the wash when dirty. Very thick and plush, holds up to repeated washing and comes out perfect again. Can't recommend enough for general use.

Bought them in 2011. Originally was for car wash.detailing. However, they are used for dust busters for furniture as it has a lot of lint even after machine washed several times. Only positive part is it is thick and seems a good dust magnet.

I bought these towels a few years back and at first they were very soft and plush. Now that some time has passed I feel that I can write a honest review on my experience.

I used them primarily for dusting around the house and I even kept one in my car. They work great for this purpose and are soft enough for the most delicate surfaces. I really liked that they naturally held a static charge which aided in holding the dust on the cloth! Unfortunately and to my disappointment, dry dusting is about all I found these useful for.

I have bought many kinds and styles of microfiber and these are one of the few that do not work well when wet. I tried using them to clean counter tops and bathroom surfaces but they don't have the "like magic" scrubbing power that a more standard microfiber does. They do indeed absorb liquid but once they get wet, I would describe them like an old fashion soggy cotton mop.

The most important thing I would like to mention is that these were never the same once washed. The long fibers became tangled around one another and get worse with every wash thereafter. I wash them in the same way I do any other microfiber which is also the same method the manufacturer recommends on the packaging. Wash microfiber separately from other material types, wash warm with mild liquid detergent and with no bleach or fabric softener. As with any material, microfiber is expected to degrade slowly after each use which is usually stated around 100 wash cycles. I've found that the longevity can vary widely depending on different factors like what you use it for and any cleaning chemicals it comes into contact with.

Bottom line - I would recommend these for dry purposes such as dusting or polishing. If you need something for wet use and with a cleaner, I would check out other options.

For microfiber towels these things are expensive, especially when comparing to another popular and inexpensive brand sold on Amazon. That said, these are much higher quality. I've bought both. They have a nice band around the edges of the cloth to prevent fraying and they are very plush. I wouldn't use these for wheels or heavy grease because they're so expensive (for towels) but they're great on paint. I use the less expensive brand for wheels, windows, and interior.

They're rated at 660GSM (grams per square meter). It's a measurement of the weight of the fibers. A lot of the "premium" towels, from what I've seen, are around 300 to 350 GSM. You should use a towel that is at least 250GSM. It's important to use a quality microfiber towel on your paint because you want something that will trap the containments rather than drag them along the surface. As a note, this is just one factor for determining a quality microfiber towel.

I had no idea just how thick and fluffy these towels would be. Thick, fluffy and absorbent. Holds a ton of water when wet. Like other reviewers mentioned they are covered with bits of loose thread and fluff so washing before use is recommended. Otherwise you end of leaving bit of blue fluff every where. They are too thick to use with say liquid furniture polish as one would use up too much trying to saturate the towel.
