This is the original, all-purpose microfibre towel taken to an extreme. When damp, the long, shaggy weave cleans the toughest grime from the most delicate and hard-to-clean surfaces. Dry, the towels fibres will pick, pull, and collect dirt and dust deep into the cloth like a magnet. Safe to use on delicate surfaces. Although a product originally designed for the automotive market, many customers use this towel all around the house. Perfect to dust furniture or acrylic aquariums. It is recommended to wash these towels before first use as this will make them super absorbent and unleash their full drying capacity. These towels can retain about 10 times their weight in water. As for all microfibre products, for best performance, please make sure to wash them in cold or warm water (not hot) and do not use fabric softener. Fabric softener clogs the fibres and therefore would reduce the efficiency of the product.
