They’ve been one of the most indispensable cleaning tools in my housekeeping toolkit ever since, and I put a lot of time and effort into finding the very best microfiber cleaning cloths to offer in my online shop.
Our waffle weave microfiber cloths have proven every bit as popular as I’d hoped they would be, and I’m excited to announce that new sizes and colors are now available!
In light of this exciting announcement, we’ll be focusing on using microfiber cloths for cleaning in this post. We’ll cover what microfiber cloths are, how they work, which ones are best suited to specific tasks, and how to wash them properly so they can continue making your life easier for a long time to come!

What Is A Microfiber Cloth?
Microfiber cloths are made from a synthetic material called (you guessed it!) microfiber, made up of thousands of super-fine fibers with an asterisk-like structure. The microscopic nooks and crannies of these fibers make the material extremely absorbent — so absorbent, in fact, that it can hold up to six times its weight in water. Friction between the fibers also generates static electricity, helping these cloths attract and hang onto microscopic dirt and grime.
There are several varieties and weaves of microfiber cloths for cleaning, some of which are designed for use on specific surfaces like glass. I prefer the waffle weave cleaning cloths I carry in my shop, not only because they look great, but because it makes them even more absorbent and quick drying than other microfiber cloths — more on that below!
What’s So Great About Waffle Weave Microfiber Cleaning Cloths?
Here’s a look at what makes our waffle weave cloths the best microfiber cleaning cloths around — at least in my opinion!
Because it's so absorbent, a microfiber cloth is perfect for cleaning up spills.
1. Effectiveness
The unique waffle weave pattern on these cloths means they have more surface area for absorbing water and picking up dirt. Depending on what you’re using them for, these cloths can hold more soapy water, lift away more food particles, soak up more spilled liquids, and so on.
Waffle weave microfiber cloths also excel at dusting -- they pick up dust instead of pushing it around.
2. Reusability
You can use a microfiber cloth in almost any situation where you’d reach for a paper towel. And unlike paper towels, microfiber cloths can be washed and reused again and again, making them much less wasteful. (Think of all the paper you’ll save!)
Use a microfiber cloth for cleaning your entire bathroom.
3. Economy
Not only are paper towels wasteful, but they can be expensive too. While microfiber cloths cost more upfront than a roll of paper towels, you’ll make back every dollar (and then some!) in savings in short order.
Microfiber cloths can also save you money on cleaning products because a lot of times you won’t even need to use them! A dry or damp microfiber cloth works like a charm for jobs like cleaning windows and mirrors or shining stainless steel. And for jobs where you might prefer to use a cleaning solution, like wiping down surfaces in your bathroom or kitchen, microfiber is so absorbent that your cleaning products will go further than they would with regular cloths or paper towels!

4. Versatility
These cloths do a great job of cleaning all kinds of surfaces without any of the smudges and smears that other cloths leave behind. They’re also safe to use on granite and marble, picking up dirt, grime, and even sticky messes without scratching or etching the stone.

5. Cleaner Finish
The texture of the waffle weave tends to leave fewer streaks and less lint behind on glassware and shiny dishes compared to regular microfiber. This is especially beneficial for items like wine glasses or stainless steel that are prone to showing spots.
Waffle weave microfiber cloths are soft to your hands but tough on grime.
6. Softer Texture
Our towels are softer and more plush than other types of microfiber cloths. Microfiber (especially dry microfiber) can have a sandpaper-y feel to it, and may even snag on dry skin. Neither of those is true of our cloths — the waffle weave feels as nice as it looks!
After using a microfiber cloth for cleaning, just rinse it out and hang it up -- the waffle weave cloths are very fast drying.
7. Quick Drying
The waffle weave pattern creates pockets of air within the towel that allow it to absorb even more moisture than your average microfiber cloth. Those air pockets also make these cloths dry more quickly than others, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and helping to keep them clean between washes.
Often all you need with a microfiber cloth is water, but you can use your favorite cleaning solution as well.
8. Durability
Waffle weave microfiber cloths are generally quite durable! They can withstand more washes and tough scrubbing sessions, giving you a longer-lasting cleaning tool that’s a better value for your money.

9. Worry-Free Cleaning
Finally, the weave’s raised ridges offer gentle scrubbing capabilities, so you can use them to eliminate stuck-on food without worrying about damaging your more fragile dishes. They’re even gentle enough to use on non-stick finishes and delicate glassware. No more worrying about abrasive sponges or rough-textured cloths leaving marks on your kitchenware!
