Description
This five pack of green microfibre cloths gives you 25 x 25cm double-layer coral fleece cloths that hold around eight times their own weight in liquid, priced at $20.99 with fast Australian shipping. They are non-abrasive, safe on paint, glass, screens and polished surfaces, and are designed to be washed and reused hundreds of times.
What actually separates microfibre from a tea towel is the fibre count. Microfibre is split into strands finer than a human hair, which does two things a cotton cloth cannot: the enormous surface area holds far more water, and the sharp split edges physically lift dirt and grease off a surface rather than smearing it around. That is why a damp microfibre cloth cleans a window with no spray at all, and why cotton needs chemicals to do the same job. It is the reason detailers, cleaners and opticians all use it.

Why Choose These Microfibre Cloths
-
Cleans with water alone - the fibre does the lifting, so you use far less spray
-
Will not scratch - safe on car paint, glass, mirrors, screens and stainless steel
-
Holds 8x its weight - one cloth deals with a spill that would take half a roll of paper towel
-
Five in a pack - enough to keep separate cloths for kitchen, glass, car and bathroom
-
Hundreds of washes - they replace paper towel rather than joining it in the bin
What Makes Microfibre Different From a Normal Cloth?
Fibre size and shape. A cotton fibre is relatively thick and round, so it pushes dirt ahead of it and needs a detergent to break grease down chemically. A microfibre strand is split lengthways into far finer filaments with sharp edges, which hook and trap dirt, grease and dust mechanically and hold them inside the cloth until it is washed. The vastly greater surface area is also why it absorbs so much more. In practice this means less chemical, fewer streaks on glass, and dirt that ends up in the wash rather than redistributed across the bench.
Can You Put Microfibre Cloths in the Dryer?
You can, but you should not, and this is the single most common way people ruin them. High heat melts and fuses the fine split filaments together, and once fused they cannot trap dirt or hold water - the cloth still looks fine and simply stops working. The same applies to fabric softener, which coats the fibres in a waxy film and has exactly the same effect. Wash them warm with detergent only, no softener, and hang them to dry. Wash them separately from cotton and towels, because microfibre grabs lint out of everything.
Why Do Microfibre Cloths Stop Absorbing Over Time?
Almost always residue rather than wear. Fabric softener, dryer sheets, heavy detergent build-up and hard water minerals all coat the fibres and block them. The usual fix is a hot wash with detergent and no softener, or a soak in warm water with a little white vinegar to strip mineral build-up. If a cloth has been through a hot dryer, the damage is heat fusion and it is permanent. Keeping a dedicated set for greasy kitchen work and another for glass also helps, because oil transferred from a kitchen cloth is what causes streaks on windows.
Buyers are typically households replacing paper towel, car owners washing and detailing at home, cleaners buying in bulk, and anyone who wants a set they can colour-code by room to stop the bathroom cloth ending up on the kitchen bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use them on car paint?
Yes, that is one of their main uses. Make sure the cloth is clean and free of grit first, since trapped grit is what scratches paint, not the fibre.
Are they safe on TV and phone screens?
Yes, used dry or barely damp. Avoid cleaning sprays containing alcohol or ammonia on screens.
Do I need cleaning product with them?
Often not. Water alone handles dust, fingerprints and glass. Kitchen grease still benefits from a little detergent.
How do I wash them?
Warm machine wash with detergent, no fabric softener, washed separately from cotton, then hang to dry.
Why does my glass streak?
Usually oil or softener residue in the cloth. Keep a dedicated glass cloth that never touches greasy surfaces.
What is coral fleece?
A thicker, plusher microfibre knit with a raised pile. It holds more liquid than a flat weave, which is why it suits spills and general wiping.
Are all five cloths the same green?
Yes, this pack is a single colour. Shade may vary slightly between dye batches.
Fast Australian Shipping
Orders ship from within Australia to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Canberra and Darwin, plus regional addresses nationwide, with tracking on every order.
Do not tumble dry and do not use fabric softener - both permanently reduce absorbency. Always check a cloth is free of grit before using it on paint or polished surfaces. Absorbency and dimensions are supplier-stated and may vary slightly; colour may differ a little between screens and dye batches.
