We had a recent question emailed to us about microfiber cloths that I want to share.

Q: I noticed that Method has 4 different types of microfiber cloths. Are they actually specialized or can you just get one and be done with it?

A: In fact, you can find those same 4 microfiber cloths branded by several different company in different places, and so far the prices I’ve seen at Target for them are the best.

I can’t give you the scientific lowdown on it, but the one for glass is most definitely worth it. You can upkeep your mirrors and windows without any spray (unless there’s toothpaste or something) - spray will make it easier if there are a lot of spots, but the glass cloth is most certainly worth its weight in gold. And none of the others do the same job on glass.

The one for dusting does a better job at dusting than the others. It has a different weave on one side, and it catches the dust well. With a little furniture polish it gives a nice finish.

As for the other two, one is for kitchen and bath, and I don’t remember what the other is for, but I found them to be virtually interchangeable.

In short, the 4 are different, and the glass alone makes it worthwhile. I end up washing the kitchen and bath one most frequently, because when cleaning the kitchen and bath the cloth needs to be washed after (you can imagine why). But the one for dusting is probably my most frequently used - daily, or at least every other day to dust something or other.
