Amazon Basics Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, Non-Abrasive, Reusable and Washable - Pack of 24, 12 x16-Inch, Pink, Green and Gray

I purchased 144 of these and my spouse and I were able to stop using paper towels. This is how I made it work in our small kitchen. The space that would have been used for a paper towel holder is used instead for a more useful kitchen machine, a sodastream, on our counter. I estimate the time to maintain this microfiber towel system I have designed/developed/invented is equal to the amount of time my spouse and I would have spent getting and re-getting paper towels, storing them, placing them on the rolls, tearing them off, etc. Since our kitchen is small and we do not have a seperate room for a pantry, I decided to place our pantry, neatly, in an aesthetically pleasing way, throughout our small home. In this instance it was best to clear some cabinet space across from our sink. On one shelf we store our clean microfiber cloths. On another I repurposed a large plastic zippered bag with a cloth handle I got along with a comforter I purchased on Amazon. In it I placed an unplugged, uncapped Glade plugin Air Freshener which then works as a diffuser. The microfiber cloths that are used as paper towels to pick up crumbs (note most counter and oven straightening can best be accomplished with a Dyson Animal DC-44 with the crevice attachment on high,) I place in the homemade repurposed hamper (plastic zippered comforter bag with the air freshener) in another shelf in a closed cabinet. Any that are wet, or used to wipe up (can be sprayed with environmentally friendly all purpose Watkins cleaner sprayed on them) are placed by my spouse and I to dry on one of three coat trees we have. We have 2 metal ones in the bathroom we use for towels and clothes and one in the den we use for coats and these wet microfiber towels while they are drying. Then each time one of us goes to wash towels we throw the microfiber cloths in with them. The two of us never run out, nor worry if we forget to throw all the soiled ones in with a load of towels since we purchased 144 of them. Therefore I recommend if you implement this for yourself to accumulate/purchase144 of your own for 2 or 1 person, double that amount for 3 or 4 people before you do away with the paper towels. In the meanwhile buy recycled if at all possible. We also found out it was more ergonomic to get a very light trash receptacle in our kitchen that we can move about effortlessly to position near where we shake the crumbs off the towel or lift it up and wipe the crumbs right into it. Note the crevice tool of the Dyson DC Animal 44 is dishwasher safe-we wash it on the top rack. Watch out as some of the attachments have electrical connections in them and should not go in the dishwasher. The brush attachments are great for oven cleaning. I hate cleaning and so does my spouse but we love our home and so we have figured out easy, painless ways to keep it clean by thinking outside the box. UPDATE: THANKS SO MUCH I was able to purchase more of these GREAT Microfiber Cloths-I and my spouse suffered a disaster caused by severe weather a few years ago and most of our microfiber cloths had tears, rips and huge holes in them as a result. We waited several years to see if we could repair them but have been inundated. Finally I was able to fit it in to my household partition to purchase more-I even use them as tissues, paper towels, to wash our two cars, etc., etc., so I am greatly relieved to have more of them sans holes, rips, etc. to use. Thanks Amazon folks-

Pretty absorbent! Love the colors

Great dusting rags but packaging rated “F” for me. It wasn’t wrapped in a bag or anything just simply threw in the box and shipped. A bit disappointed!

Please improve the package design as the top towel was glued to the tape somehow when I received the product. I cant use the first microfiber towel because as I took it off the tape, it got some glue on it.

BEST microfiber clothes especially for the price…I have bought “other” higher end brand names and these are so much absorbent and better quality

My dog has runny eyes and also gets a messy beard when she eats any wet food. I now clean her face and under the chin daily with these. They work great. She hates the dog wipes. These, I use hot water to wet and they are warm by the time they touch her face. She no longer fights me when I wash her face. The size is perfect. Great quantity for the money. They wash and dry great. No shrinkage to date.

Good quality item good price works well

Great product! Wash well and do the job I need them to do! Great absorbent and def great quality!

Great item
