Viatek Consumer Products 12 by 12-Inch MicroKlen Microfiber Towels, 50-Pack

I got these because I wanted to save money and save the environment by not using paper towels for my cleaning. These microfiber towels are perfect for this. I love that they come in five different colors. I use different colors for different rooms of my house. I don't like to mix my kitchen cleaning with other more "dirty" cleaning like the floor or bathrooms. Like Bethee I also use these to remove my makeup at the end of the day. I take two towels, one wet and one dry, and wipe with wet one first and then dry with the other. I got almost everything in my house to shine with these towels. The best thing is that all you need is water; no more chemical especially on my granite counter tops. You won't regret buying these.

Good amount. But not so good quality

My cloths have been used steadily for 18 months. I am pleased that they are holding up so well. I would have rated them 5 except for the edges folding over if dried in the dyer. If they are hung to dry it is not a problem. I ended up using the greenish ones for washcloths. The are great for travel where wash clothes are not provided. They dry very fast. I use the pinkish-red as dishcloths. The do a great job on counters, dishes, and non-stick pan cleaning. I reserved the yellow ones for dusting and screen cleaning on iPads, computers, and TV screens. They are not as big as some micro fiber clothes but that is what makes them good for the purposes I described. They rinse and wring out easily. I did cut off the tags early on. Only a few have frayed.

I was skeptical about how good these would be because of the price but decided to try them because of the perfect reviews. I had a very different experience than the other reviewers. Other than being a bit on the small side and having 50 annoying tags to cut off, at first I thought they were just all right but not at all impressive and much less than what I was expecting. I am really disappointed in how thin they are. Example: I can hold one up in front of me and see the TV commercial for a truck right through it! But, I thought that the colors were fun and the reviews were good so maybe they don't have to be thick to clean well. I used one color to clean my truck and they linted quite a bit (green lint all over a white truck was not my intention)!! Before I turned my kitchen pink and my bathroom yellow, I washed the rest before using them. That is when all thoughts that they were OK went out the window.The instructions on the tags (no care instructions on the outer package) were machine wash and tumble dry low. I followed those directions and put all 50 (I said they were small) in the same load along with 4 new kinds of microfiber towels (specialty car towels) from other brands I ordered with these towels and some of my 5+ year old microfiber cleaning towels from the club store. I was horrified by the condition of these towels when I opened the dryer. The edges on all 50 of them are puckered and curled. They won't lay flat and they don't even fold right. Some of them look more like a shower cap because of all the puckering! Every other towel in the load came out fine (with the exception of the new white specialty car ones that suffered from some neon color bleeding). Not a problem. The puckering of all 50 of these ones is.I am really surprised that these are no where near as good as the club store microfiber cleaning towels I have been using for everything for years (and 5 years is just a guess-it has been longer than that since I got them and was immediately hooked on the power of microfiber). Turns out I haven't taken care of them correctly!! Ever!! I learned when shopping for my specialty car cleaning towels on Amazon that you aren't supposed to use fabric softener and you are supposed to wash them on their own. I have never done that. Granted, they don't look great as they have years of bath mat fuzzies stuck to them, but my kitchen counter never complained about their looks and I wasn't using them where scratching was a big deal-which is why I was shopping for new specialty car ones to clean my truck instead of just using those. I decided to get some new general cleaning ones to replace those because of the fabric softener I had used on them. Apparently that reduces absorbency, and I figured that technology has advanced since I my originals so I figured I would get a new cleaning set and take care of them right from the start to really get the full microfiber cleaning power. I will still get some new ones to augment my microfiber cleaning fleet of towels, but I certainly won't be keeping these!! Back they go. If it sounds too good to be true...

I purchased these microfiber towels for basic household tasks , along with automotive maintenance. I have a large collection of microfiber towls. Most are used for specific tasks such as cleaning the kitchen granite counters, cleaning house glass / cars windows, and others strictly for automotive paint. I was becoming frustrated when my wife used my automotive microfiber towels for cleaning up spills in the house. The automotive microfiber towels cost me $5+ per a towel. So I decided to purchase these for everyday tasks. These are not premium microfiber towels, they are basic and cost very little. When these towels pick up oil or other nasty material, I just throw them out. Overall these towels have solved many of my problems. For the price they are cheaper than shop rags and work better.

The cloths are so convenient that I am using them in ways I never intended when I ordered them. I keep one on my bathroom vanity to wipe up splashes and small puddles. It is good for cleaning mirrors and I just keep finding more ways to use them. They are colorful, light and easy to store.

All of my windows and mirrors are streak-free! Just use water, no cleaners. I clean everything with these cloths including removing makeup from my face just using water...exfoliates as well. They are really absorbent, too, making spills a quick clean-up. These towels are not very thick but they really get things super clean. Just make sure you don't use fabric softeners when laundering them and dry them on low heat in the dryer. My first experience with these type of microfiber cloths was with another brand (Durafiber) and those were good but these are better! Highly recommend these towels if you want to save money.

Great pack of 50, not as thick as you would find on other rags though. It is 12x12 size so not as large as the other rags out there too so you might find yourself going through alot of them fairly quickly.
