    The lowdown on cleaning cloths

    I am yet to find a really good cloth for cleaning toilets and vanities. I hate the way most cloths seem to just smear dust. Can anyone recommend anything?

    Old cotton t-shirts.
    I have a huge collection of cleaning cloths and rags and a ripped up old cotton t-shirt does wonders on mirrors.

    Good old fashioned newspaper is supposed to be very good for glass, especially ones like The Age. It also help with the fogging up, you can use them to wipe the inside of your car windscreen as well.
    Otherwise, I just buy a massive roll of what I call blue wipes(jex) from Costco and throw them out after cleaning toilets, basins and benches. I don't use them on mirrors.

    They have changed the ink they use for newspapers so they don't clean as well as they used to although they are less toxic which must be a positive..

    We use microfiber cloths from godfreys.
    We use them for our cleaning business also.
