Anything I shouldn't clean with microfiber cloths?
I have new microfiber cleaning cloths But, I'm feeling really dumb, because I'm not sure what they'd be best cleaning.
I know they're great for dusting, but how about deep cleaning (like a bathroom) ? Dishes? Wiping up the table and countertops? Other general cleaning? Anything that's still better cleaned with a cotton cloth as opposed to microfiber? Oh, and they can't be put in the dryer, right?

My sil doesn't use soap or Windex with them, just water as far as I remember. I'm curious about this too.

Re: Anything I shouldn't clean with microfiber cloths?
I put mine in the dryer after washing with my regular laundry. Fabric softener shouldn't be used on them, but I don't use it anyway. Don't wash with towels, though, because they'll pick up the lint from the towels.
I don't use them for dishes or for anything that I use an abrasive cleaner (like baking soda), but I use them for pretty much everything else -- mirrors, windows, walls, counters, TV or computer screen, dry dusting, anything that just needs wiped down, non-porous toys, etc. Oh, I don't use them in the kitchen, I use the regular washcloths there because I have so many. I use them mostly with water or a vinegar/water/EO mixture, depending on what I'm cleaning.

They can't be used with bleach or bleach containing products. I use them with vinegar and peroxide, and I wash and dry them with the rest of the towels.

Re: Anything I shouldn't clean with microfiber cloths?
I put mine in the dryer with towels. I use them with all of my cleaning supplies, but I only clean with natural cleaners (baking soda, vinegar, EOs, Dawn, etc). Eventually they get so much gunk on them that they are un-usable, but my initial set lasted about a year-- with all of our pets I think that was pretty good.

You can dry them, but you're not supposed to use fabric softener with them.

Thanks! So far I'm loving how much easier cleaning is with them.
