01.Introduction
CHOICE tested 10 microfibre cloths, ranging in price from $3.60 to $9 per pack, with a couple coming in a pack of three. Our results found they can clean most surfaces without chemicals. However, if you use them for a major clean, don't throw away all your chemical cleaners as the build-up of stubborn residues may be difficult to remove with a microfibre cloth and water alone.
We test their cleaning ability on:
- Kitchen
- Bathroom
- Dusting
- Mirror and
- Stainless steel surfaces
Please note: this information was current as of December 2009 but is still a useful guide to today's market.
