I'm a huge fan of Don Aslet and he sells them also.
You can also call your closet janitorial supply store and they have them.
I prefer windex from the Janitorial supply stores too. I think its cheaper and works better than Windex.

The janitorial places I have called seemed to only sell one type too.
I want the sticky ones but different colors for different rooms, then the blue glass-window ones.
I want the mop too LOL....

-Home Depot-already not impressed with these

HSN- will update later, I bought 2 of the large packs

Hagco-which sells the sticky ones. I ordered various things from them and I'm betting they will be the best.
Hagco is open to the public and I believe your paying wholesale prices?
The sticky heavy duty ones are $1.85 each.
Premiums are like $1.20 each. They have the red for bath, blue suede for morrors, greeb for dusting....etc..
Sam is the person I spoke with there regarding me wanting the sticky ones.

I have a question about microfiber mops. What type is best for wet mopping (kitchen floor) and dry mopping (hardwood floors)?

Also, a very dumb question as I'm new to this microfiber thing, do I use Pledge or End dust when I use microfiber cloths to dust tables and on the floors?

Thanks for your patience and help!

You can even cover swiffer wet mops with these cloths.
They sell a sponge mop cover too, thats like a bonnet.

If you order anything from Hagco they send you a booklet on how to wash and care for the cloths and their uses.
Some companies even sell brown colored once that are designated for wood floors.
But they may just be multi purpose ones colored brown?
Im focusing more on light, med, and heavy duty, then we use them all over.
Except maybe the red bathroom ones.

Also when dusting, you can skip some pledge with the cloths.
However if you want that nice shine ( I do) can add pledge after.
Or maybe during?

welcome to microfiber world..lol!

I agree with everyone..love microfiber! I have mainly all wood floors in my house, I use Bona products with their microfiber mop, it's a great product and also environment safe. Here is a link... they have a special right now and you can get started for 14.99!! It's a great price..I spent a lot more in ACE hardware when I bought the cleaners, mop, and microfiber pads, etc.
I also used the Hardwood Floor Refresher, loved it and now I see they came out with Bona Hardwood Floor Polish ..which I am now going to try as well ..let me know if you get it and how you like it..

Ree

Thanks for all the info! And thanks Ree for that Bona Kemi link. I'll definitely order some products from them. Question because I have so many mops, does the Bona Kemi Dust Pad and Cleaning Pad fit on a Swifter Mop or do I need to buy their mop?

I appreciate your help!

Karen

I have ordered from this company twice with absolutely no trouble. Once they had a question about my order before shipping, and they called me.

I don't mean to sound like a micro info commerical but these things are great.
Each color has its:
own purpose
own weight
own feel
I bought the super duper sticky outdoor ones too and I think my hubby might want some of those for the lawn chairs, pool stuff, and even the cars?

They are large, heavy, and work great!
I have the green- dusting, blue- suede for mirrors/glass, yellow for all purpose, red bathrooms.
So far all of them have worked great.
No more swiffers or papertowels for me :D

I have a massive mirror thats perfectly clean for the first time ever.
And it was fast to clean with no streaks.
Im going to strap the yellow ones onto my swiffer dry dust mop and onto the wet swiffer mop also.

I used very little windex today too. Just a squirt or 2 is all thats needed.
Damp seemed to work best, not wet.

I have decided that if the HSN ones come and are of less quality, I will give them as gifts. They came in trendy color anyways and might be a cute gift for a clean freak like me :)

I was there the other day and saw a pack of 36 for about $15. I think that these were all 16" x 16".

The price sure is right. I have no idea if it's a quality product.

thanks in advance!

(I got the ones from Costco, which work fine with this caveat).

Oh, and I use them as face cloths. They really polish the complexion better than cotton wash cloths and are not a harsh as those exfoliating gloves and are waaaay cheaper than those ivory "spa' microfiber face cloths. ($20.) I wash them with my cloths in lingere bags so they do not pick up fuzz from the clothes and do not wash them with the cotton towels ever.

I do not like the microfiber cloths for kitchen use. They soak up so much water that they never dry and always smell sour probably from not being able to rinse all the food particles out of them. It does not seem to be a problem with the bathroom face cloths. I get that sour smell on my hands from the kitchen ones and it does not wash out. I certainly do not want to smear that smell all over my counters and appliances. Any ideas on how to avoid the sour smell appreciated. I stopped using them in the kitchen because of this. My sponges never smell bad.

When I clean furniture I only use a light spray of furniture polish on the cloth, never sprayed on the furniture.

For glass and mirrors, I use a solution of 50% rubbing alcohol, 50% water and a drop of dish soap. With the microfibre it works great, never any streaking. Haven't bought Windex is 3 years.

I was very skeptical and recently begged off on one of those home parties because I thought, "Yeah, right", but a friend of mine bought the cloths and was so enthusiastic, she got me curious. She was so funny, she carried them around in her car in a ziplock bag, she was so excited about these silly little cloths.

So this this afternoon I asked her to repeat one of the demonstrations that is performed at the home parties. She agreed and took out about a tablespoon of soft butter and smeared it all over her front door glass. It was nasty. Then she took her, I guess cleaning cloth, wet it with just a little water, went over the butter, and basically whole window in just a few circular wipes, then took her dry cloth (glass cloth?) and wiped over it--zip, zip, zip. And it was perfect. No streaks.

She then took that nasty cloth with butter on it, and wiped it over stainless steel. Not only was that perfect, but the butter did NOT transfer to the stainless. There was no residue whatsoever. She did it again on her kitchen table.

Now, I do have microfiber cloths, and I like them, but none of them have worked like this. I decided to jump in and see for myself, so I ordered some. If they don't work as promised, they are going back. I have a bunch of little tests **she says rubbing hands together** I'd like to try myself before I am 100% sold. The cynical side of me still thinks the other examples she told me have to be exaggerated. I mean it's only a cloth, and you ONLY use water. What the heck?

I'll post again once I get mine, if they really are all that and a bag of chips.

Why water on butter?

I hope that made better sense.

I forgot to say why my friend was so gung-ho for these cloths to begin with-- she has a microhood and that grease and gunky build-up that gets in the vent slats was her "nemesis". She said she tried everything to remove that stuff. She was certain it was just baked into the plastic. She took the Norwex cloth (again, moistened with water) and just ran it back and forth a few times between the slats. She said it came right off. (I saw it; it does look brand new.) That was it for her. She hadn't tried the butter thing before, only saw it at a home demo. I asked her to do that when I brought my child over to play with her son.

They played Monopoly, we played with butter. Good times. Good times. ;^)

I'm gong to try it with the Hagco , HSN, Home Depot, and free gas station ones.
Hahahaah :D

You have convinced me to purchase from Hagco. However, their web site does not allow for that. Did you call them to place your order? Was there a minimum amount of product you had to purchase or a minimum dollar amount you had to spend? How'd the butter experiment turn out?

I'm looking for something that will clean the glass on my kitchen and dining room tables. I don't care what product I have used, including water, nothing cleans them without streaking. I have even tried the microfiber cloths I have on hand with no success. The tables always look clean until the sun hits them and then all the streaks show up. I'm hoping the Hagco cloths will do the trick.

We did my back door, front door (full-length glass), window in the kitchen, and double hung window (including all the screens) in my dining area, very quickly with absolutely NO streaks. Also my glass covered dining table. We just had a water-dampened micro cloth and the dry glass cloth. The longest part of the cleaning was folding out the double-hung windows, and the front door windows and putting them back. How can this be? I don't know, and I don't care as long as I can clean my house this quickly!

My neighbor, who was a HUGE skeptic came over and helped me. Then she took two of the cloths to her house. She came back less than 1/2 hour later saying, "Where do I get these?" She claims that she went home and cleaned her front door glass, back door glass, kitchen window, kitchen faucet, stove top, microwave, oven door and glass, her bathroom tub and its fixtures, and her bathroom sink and its fixtures. She rinsed the cloth only once. She finished up with her bathroom mirror. She was totally sweating when she came back with the cloths. Heh. (She had to be like a whirling dervish over there!) She was stunned that they worked, and with NO streaking at all.

Oh--I did the butter experiment for her on my oven door glass, and it worked just as it did at my friend's house. I didn't rinse the cloth, and wiped off my counters, and none of the butter came off on the counters. I have to say I am very impressed.

Of course, you know that after I did all those windows, it rained! :^p That's OK, since it only takes seconds to do a window, it isn't that big of a deal anymore.

These cloths ROCK! Definitely worth the steep price to me! Now I am trying to decide if I want to try the body cloths. Yeehaw!

Now they ship UPS so you want to order enough to feel content with the shipping fee.
Again their prices are so good you will easily have a nice small order anyways, I bet?

I ordered more than I needed so I could have a laundry basket just for MF.
I have plenty of each style, then 3 mops heads from the steam mop.
I only have to wash them every 2 weeks now.
But now mine are used for cleaning only, the dont make contact with food.
Only grime, dirt, dust.

The streak-free cloths I like are from www.earthcaremarket. They are and amazing way to green clean because you can clean anything with just water. They will last a long time and can be used over and over again.

It they start to steak then they need to be cleaned out. This can be done by hand with some soapy water or thrown in the laundry. No fabric softener or dryer.

Altho each cloth is $5 they have saved me a ton of money because I no longer use paper towels or buy any cleaning products. Sometimes I use baking soda, vinegar, or Bon-Ami.

I love the white ones for windows and mirrors and the gray ones are good for everything else. I even use them to clean my car.

These cloths have made cleaning really fun and fast!!

Cheers

My microfiber cloths - 50 cents each when purchased in bulk at Costco - give a streak-free shine to my windows. I wet them with plain water and wring them out.

I also use the softest, least 'grabby' ones as face cloths, and found that after a steamy shower, you can 'buff' clogged pores clear with none of the trauma of a salon 'extraction' : )

they're also great for dusty ankles during the summer!

I've gotten a lot of mileage out of some bottles of essential oils - balsam fir for the stuff I use OxyClean on, rosemary for anything that gets cleaned with vinegar, and grapefruit oil for the wood, which doesn't get 'cleaned' so much as 'oiled and polished' : )

on the same theme - I've cut my tinfoil consumption by 80% since I picked up some of the 'stone' cookware - once it's seasoned, it cleans up with hot water, a it of baking soda paste at worst...something not even my Pyrex can claim to do : )
