Microfiber cloths are gentle enough for delicate surfaces, yet they have the grip and absorbency to trap messes as few other tools can. Here are some things you’ll clean better using a microfiber cloth.
1. Shower Walls
Not only are microfiber cloths great for cleaning your shower, but they can help you keep it clean too. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe down your shower walls after each use. It’ll pick up any soapy residue and moisture lingering on the walls, helping to prevent soap scum and mildew from taking hold.
Use microfiber cloths along with my daily shower cleaner spray to keep your shower looking beautifully clean for weeks.
2. Windows & Mirrors
Cleaning your windows and mirrors with microfiber will leave them super shiny and streak-free. Add equal parts water and vinegar to a spray bottle, spray it onto your cloth, and use it to wipe down your mirrors and windows.
3. Granite, Stainless Steel, & Other Kitchen Surfaces
Microfiber is great for cleaning and shining up any surface in your kitchen. It will leave your stone countertops gleaming, and remove smudges and smears from stainless steel. My homemade granite cleaner works great on both stone and stainless steel, and you can learn how to make it at the link below.
4. Eyeglasses
Use a dry microfiber cloth to clean everyday smears and smudges off your glasses and sunglasses. And for those rare occasions when you need a bit of extra cleaning power to clean really smeared lenses, you can make a great lens and screen cleaning solution at home—get the instructions below.
5. Glassware
Sick of water spots on your glasses and stemware? Just buff them with a microfiber cloth! The cloth will pick up any residue or mineral deposits without the need for additional cleaners.
6. Dusting
Microfiber cloths are excellent for dusting. You can use a dry cloth to pick up light dust and dirt, or use a damp cloth to power through thicker dust and grime. And since microfiber is so effective at trapping dirt, you don’t have to worry about spreading the dust around like you do with other types of dusters.
7. Spills
Use a dry microfiber cloth to absorb spilled liquids—one cloth can absorb as much as a whole can of soda! You can also use a damp microfiber cloth to clean up spilled dry ingredients, like flour, salt, etc. The wet fibers grab onto even the tiniest particles to make cleaning up spills a breeze.
