Today's Special Value on QVC!

12 piece mf towel set, $17.97 + $4.47 S&H....

2 large orange ww drying towels
3 small black ww drying towels
2 med aqua polishing towels
2 16" sq white dusting towels (?) (edit: apparently like our plusher towels, for maintaining high-gloss finishes)
3 med teal cleaning cloths (?) (edit: door jambs, maybe? "Removes dirt and grease from almost any hard surface." Maybe like the suede "glass" towels?)

80/20, made in China.

Heck, I've spent that much on 3 towels. And I've spent that much on 20 towels. I ordered a set, I'll let all y'all know how they are.

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered a set. Im sure they are at least good for door sills, windows, etc. Would be nice if the polishing cloths are good, but I can just give them to the wife if they arent car-worthy.

I was lying in bed this morning and scrolled through the channels and watched him using the MF's on QVC. He was wiping off chrome kitchen appliances that had smudges without a chemical cleaner.

But, I had to turn back on Maury Povich - he was doing DNA tests to check on the real fathers of peoples' babies. It's daily therapy to remind me of how life is good to me while I'm searching for a new job.

Got mine a couple of days ago. The "Microfiber Cleaning Cloth" which is just their all purpose MF feels the softest, with a wider loop on the fiber. The rest of them feel not so good, especially the waffle weaves; very rough and stiff. The Polishing Cloth has a very interesting weave, it's actually like silk...it's soft but in a different way than the Cleaning Cloth. I think it would work good on windows, perhaps.

IMO the waffle weaves are the same as the gray ones I already have. The polishing cloth is the same as the ones I've purchased as "glass" cloths. The other two, well, the all purpose one is OK, the other one is meh.

I'd call it an OK enough deal, but not a killer deal. Those "glass" towels are actually pretty good.

Thanks for the info, Kraig. I'll wash those separately first.
