E-cloths are half price in.........

Waitrose at the minute.

I've not used one before but I've seen convos on here about them. £2.49

[FeelingLucky]

Great! Thanks for this, I'm off to Waitrose tomorrow morning so will look out for them

[Monty100]

Did you get one FL. I've just shined my glossy kitchen doors with them. I'm off to my bedroom furniture now! Quite good I thought. (Haven't wet it yet though ).

They are fab.

I only use detergent once every 6 weeks in my bathroom. The rest of the time it is a dry microfibre cloth (same thing).

They are esepcially good on mirrors, stainless steel and things that tend to streak.

I love my e cloth.

[FeelingLucky]

Yes, bought TWO today. And hired a cleaner who was more than happy with using them.

[warthog]

oooh thanks! i think they're brilliant.

[blossomsmine]

I just can't get the hang of them How do you use them dry?? Does that work? I tried using one with a spray bottle of water on mirrors and they just smeared..... I use one with mr muscle on the kitchen surfaces and it doesn't seem any better than usual cloth...what am i doing wrong????

[FeelingLucky]

You wet them thoroughly, wring them out as dry as possible and use to clean and dust any surface.
I never really use them dry as not a fan of dry dusting, which IMO is just moving dust from one area to another

[warthog]

blossomsmine, i may be wrong but i don't think you're supposed to use any chemicals on them. just make them damp with a bit of water and that's enough.

having said that, it's not so good for wood surfaces as they get dry over time.

[FeelingLucky]

Yes, but you just rub oil into wooden furniture every now and then. those spray polishes just puts a film of chemicals over wooden furniture

[warthog]

feelinglucky, i don't think you can do that if the furniture has been lacquered, only oiled?

[FeelingLucky]

no, but damp e-cloths are okay on lacquered furniture if wrung v dry - no way of drying them out? I don;t have lacquered furniture, so haven;t tried it, but have wood furniture which I oil every now and then.

Can you tell I'm a huge e-cloth fan

[warthog]

so am i!

Hi all, have just been looking through the posts to see if this has already been covered, apologies if it has, but are microcloths the same kind of thing as e-cloths? I have just bought some on sale in Dunelm so will they be less good because they are cheap alternatives? Or are they completely different? It said on pack what each one was for (pack of 4). I've got a couple of e-cloth dusters so I use them as dusters only, never used them damp. Just used the bathroom one, damp, and it seems clean, but do they really really work just as well as using a cleaner with an ordinary cloth?

[hairygodmother]

Sorry, last bit a bit unclear - I mean I've just used the bathroom microcloth

[blossomsmine]

I just don't feel i am cleaning properly if i don't use some sort of cleaning product..... Also, when i do mirrors/windows with a slightly wet ecloth they are all smudgey!!!
