Amazon Basics Non-Abrasive Microfiber Cleaning Cloths for Home and Auto
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are amazing for cleaning and a great price! I’m mad at myself for not purchasing sooner. In an effort to reduce the crazy amount of paper towels we go through, I decided to purchase these. I use 1-2 a day for kitchen cleanup and put them in the laundry. They pick up little crumbs easily and don’t leave my quartz “streaky.” I have a super messy 10 month old and I clean his highchair with these and they work wondetfully. I also use these for dusting, they pick up everything. The only thing that was a negative was that the first time I washed them in warm water (per instructions), the yellow color bled onto the white and turned them an off white color. Not a big deal to me because I use these only for cleaning and wash them with only other cleaning rags but be careful not to wash the yellow rags with anything you care about! Ieven though instructions say to hang dry, I dry them on low with no issues. Last thing, most people know this but don’t ever use fabric softener with these, they won’t be as absorbant!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Basic would be the best way to describe these towels. They\'re indeed microfiber and a sufficient size to be a staple in any household for quick chores that require a soft towel (dish drying, electronics cleaning, window sill wipe downs, counter top cleaning, etc). I do find them of lesser quality compared to my first set of microfiber towels my first set of microfiber towels I purchased in October 2016.\n\nSuper Thick 350 GSM Microfiber Cloths - 12 Pack Large 16" Washable Premium Towels - Wash or Buff Surfaces, LCD\'s, Car & Auto Detailing, Bath and Kitchen by MicrofiberPros (Rainbow)\n\nCOMPARING EXPERIENCES\nThe Super Thicks maintain good form in the hands since they are more robust. They are able to soak up more liquid since they are bigger and thicker. They hold their edges well when you fold them over, kind of like soft sponges. You can pretty much fold them into perfect rectangles and squares. These honestly look and feel the same as when I originally bought them even after 6 months of usage and about 25 trips to the washer and dryer. Folding them neatly in storage looks neat, clean, and organized.\n\nThe Basics feel much more like tissues. Definitely they do the job, but I don\'t feel as confident going into cleaning jobs using these. Squeezing the water out of these feels much like a paper towel or a tissue than a microfiber towel. These just don\'t hold their form as well as the Super Thicks. After even the first trip to the washer and dryer, these curl at the edges and don\'t fold over neatly. They\'re just not as pleasant to work with. Folding them neatly into storage takes some time since the edges do not fold over neatly.\n\nVALUE\nSuper Thicks - currently at $25 for a 12-pack (at my purchase date: $20)\nAmazon Basics - $17 for a 36-pack\n\nThe Super Thicks average out to around $2 per towel while the Basics average out to less than $0.50 per towel. So, you have the classic dilemma of quantity versus quality. Do 4 Amazon Basic towels equal 1 Super Thick? If you do a size comparison, the answer is most definitely "No". You get more bang for your buck with the Amazon Basics based on the amount of material you receive. If you appreciate quality and care for the small details, then I would recommend the Super Thicks. If you\'re just on a budget and looking just for quantity, the I would go with the Amazon Basics.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Well made and durable. Quick side note. I was not aware until a pro detailer told me that you need to wash all micro cloth and towels with a special microfiber detergent. I was not aware of this and I did some checking and sure enough it is true. If you use regular detergent and even worse (as it turns out) fabric softeners in the dryer it will clog up the microfibers making this just as bad as using an old t-shirt. I have washed these several times with the micro detergent and the towels and cloth still have that ultra grabby feel for dust and particles.\n\nI now own a black truck so I am being careful about swirl marks. I hope this helps as I would have made the same error as everyone else. Chemical Guys sells it too and I bought a gallon so it will last me years. Don't ruin your micro cloth!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': " I saw these towels in use in one of the videos of my fav bloggers (Brittany Vasseur). She was so excited with these towels so decided to order them. I bought them for $9.70 that's $9.70/24=$0.40 per each.\nOn my photos, you can see how these towels look like compared to dollar tree ones (1 DT towel=$1). Amazon towels are bigger in dimensions and a little thicker. These are not super great microfiber cloth but for this price it is a win!\nI use them for cleaning in the kitchen, in the bathroom, my husband uses them to clean his car (exterior and some interior surfaces). No issues! Just clean what you need and throw into the laundry. I use them for 2 months and wash in the washing machine or by hand and had no issues, the towels are still intact.\nI had 1 issue with delivery! When they just arrived I checked the quantity and discovered that there were only 23 towels in a box. I wrote to customer service and in 2 days received a new package with 24 towels. I have no complaints, it happens sometimes."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2015', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Quite frankly, these are terrible. I\'m a big fan of AmazonBasics in general, but they really dropped the ball on these.\n\nI bought these because I was looking for a large volume of microfiber cloths for auto detailing purposes. These actually came up when I searched for automotive detailing supplies, and given the great price I immediately jumped on them.\n\nWell, this is one of those scenarios where "you get what you pay for." Yes, they are very cheap. But these are by far the worst feeling "microfiber" cloths I\'ve ever felt. The thing with microfiber is that you usually expect them to feel smooth to the touch. With my other microfiber cloths, I can rub them all over my face and feel as though I\'m bathing in baby puppies. In contrast, if I did that with these the only thing I\'d be able to imagine is being molested by a 60 year old lumberjack.\n\nThese are absolutely not fit for car detailing purposes, the only things I\'d consider using them on is my wheels. They are simply too rough, and I\'d be seriously concerned about damaging my paint using these. I\'d honestly rather just use off the shelf paper towels.\n\nIf you\'re using them for general home use, they\'re very cheap and it may be more than fine for that. But for auto detailing...STAY AWAY!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These are a fantastic purchase! They are big plush and nice colors. I use these on my Swiffer dry and wet. They fit perfectly and worked like a dream. Other reviewers had said these were too thin but they are not. These are the same quality as others I have purchased at a much much higher price. I am so pleased with these towels.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': "I really, really wanted to like these. My family has had such outstanding luck with AmazonBasics products and I think I can safely say that these towels are the first that I am not absolutely thrilled with.\n\nFirst off.. that $%^@ing tag. It has to go. Amazon, please remove it for a future revision to this product.\n\nSecond.. I would be willing to pay a few extra dollars if these were shipped in a sealable bag rather than the 1-time use bag.\n\nThird and lastly.. they just aren't as soft as the VibraWipe towels I've been using. That's the deal breaker for me.\n\nThese are very difficult for me to recommend. Giving 3 starts because they're not junk and you do get a ton of them for the price. If they were a little softer and did not have a tag, I'd say they would be 4-star material.\n\nGet the VibraWipes instead."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Excellent value for the money @ 33 cents per towel! They are fairly thin towels so don't expect a 5-star hotel plush thick face towel feel. As long as you know that, you won't be disappointed. I use them for car detailing, spill cleanup, window/mirror cleaning without any Windex, wiping glasses (reading or drinking), oil change rags, waxing my car, and general kitchen useage. Just don't use these as potholders because they are made of plastic, not cotton, so they will melt lol!"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Well I never thought I'd have microfiber cloths in my subscribe and save as a guy but in my mid 30's here we are...And I love them. I use them literally every single day and don't feel too terrible about tossing them.\n\nPros:\n- Super soft\n- Actual microfiber. Could be used on monitors or TVs AS LONG AS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN WASHED. After a washing they might accumulate scratchy stuff from other clothes and lint etc\n- Yes I know it's bad for the environment but if they get extremely dirty or get paint on them or something they can be tossed without too much guilt\n\nCons:\n- Mega static buildup (normal with all microfiber)\n- Edges kind of curl up and get weirdly stiff after several washes\n- Gigantic obnoxious tags on each one now that are not rip-off tags"}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2022', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I have autoimmune arthritis and carpal tunnel. Why am I saying this when reviewing cleaning cloths? Because one of the things that causes me the most pain is scrubbing. I am always looking for the best tools to get things clean with the least harm to me, the environment, and my wallet. These cloths are the mainstay of my cleaning caddy because they make deep-cleaning EVERYTHING so much easier!\n\nI use the white cloths in the kitchen, blue in the bathroom, yellow everywhere else. The mircrofiber picks up dirt from all surfaces without damage. It’s great for streak-free glass and mirror cleaning. Cleans tubs, showers, grout, and tile. Gets toothpaste off the faucet and leaves it sparkling without scratching. It cleans walls without removing paint, gets dust and pollen off blinds, and is great for cleaning spills on hardwood floors. Need to clean more of a floor but don’t want to mop? Put this over your mop head and wipe things up. I keep a stack of these ready to go under every sink, and I carry a few when kayaking to wipe my glasses, mop out bilge, whatever—just don’t mix the two up!\n\nWhen I have used one of these, I throw it in a bucket hanging in my laundry room, keeping the white cloths with cloth napkins and dish towels, and the others with my washable mop heads. Once a week, I clean them on sanitize with detergent and a bit of bleach. I like to hang them to dry outside for a crispier surface, by they dry fine in the tumble dryer too.\n\nI have these on subscribe and save, with a new pack every six months. I literally do not buy paper towels now, because there is no need. At all. Did I mention these are great on stainless steel? Clean, no streaks or fingerprints. Clean your woodwork or baseboards with them too. Need to apply furniture polish? Got you covered with these! Kids cook something on the stove and leave a baked on mess? Wet one, put it on the mess, leave it for a few to soften, then wipe it up. Oh, and because it’s a cloth, cleaning wire shelves or behind a tap is easy—just wrap it around, give it a little back and forth, and done!\n\nOh, and if you are so inclined, take a clean one of these, soak it, put it in a baggie, put in a dab of isopropyl alcohol or hand sanitizer, and freeze. Flexible cold packs that don’t over-chill tissues for the win!\n\nSeriously, these are great. Heck, you can even put roll them around a paper-towel tube and have them on your holder. They’ll stay put, and instead of automatically grabbing a paper towel, you’ll grab these instead.\n\nAfter all this enthusiasm, please know that I loathe cleaning. That I can give some cloth all this hype for something I hate doing should say it all!'}]
