Short answer: match the cloth to the job. Microfibre pulls in dust, dirt and liquid without any harsh products, which makes it ideal for glass, mirrors and high-gloss surfaces. Cotton is sturdier and soaks up more liquid, so it's the one for buffing furniture or wiping down large surfaces.
The right cloth is the difference between a quick once-over and a proper streak-free finish. It saves time as well, because you're not going over the same spot twice.
When do you reach for microfibre, and when for cotton?
- Microfibre: pulls in dust, dirt and liquid without any need for harsh cleaning products. Effective and kinder to the environment in one go.
- Cotton: sturdier, and soaks up larger amounts of liquid.
So pick by task and by surface. You'll find every microfibre option together in the Wonder Cloth collection.
The right cloth for the right job
Glass and high gloss want fine microfibre; a spill wants something with more body. Keep a set in the cupboard and there's always a cloth that suits. Take a look at the Starter Pack of 4.
How do you spot a cloth that will last?
By how it behaves after a few washes. A good cloth holds its structure and keeps cleaning just as well, however often it goes through the machine. We'd point you towards cloths that are easy to wash and can take a warm cycle, so they stay hygienic and keep performing.
Why does regular washing matter?
Washing them often stops bacteria and dirt building up in the fibres. A saturated cloth pushes dirt around instead of lifting it, and that shows up as streaks. The washing instructions are set out in our frequently asked questions.
One cloth, plenty of surfaces
Glass, furniture, kitchen, bathroom: with the right cloth you get round the whole house without a separate spray for every room. Take a look at the Dark Pack of 4.
How versatile is a good cleaning cloth?
The best ones earn their keep everywhere: glass, furniture, the kitchen, the bathroom and plenty besides. Microfibre is the one for fingerprints on glass and mirrors, while a thicker cotton cloth suits buffing furniture or wiping down big surfaces. Pick the right cloth for the task and you're finished sooner.
Why is cheap so often expensive in the end?
Budget cloths save you a little at the till, but they tend to give up quickly. Then you're cleaning with something that only shifts the dirt about, and the job takes twice as long. Anyone who cleans regularly notices that difference every week. Take a look at the iZi-Clean Wonder Cloth in the 12-pack.
