Household Cleaning Tip
Microfiber cloths are wonderful cleaning tools. You will find yourself throwing out all your other cleaning rags. The microfibers on the cloth have an electromagnetic field to capture dust and other debris particles. Your rags just push the dust around and put a lot of it back into the air. Use it on any surface. And, they are reusable. To clean them put them into the wash without bleach or fabric softener. Then, let them air dry.
