AsteriskRating Disclaimer

Reviewing products, like reviewing movies or restaurants, is arguably a subjective process (even for well-funded consumer groups) based on the review criteria (what the reviewer considers important) and the unique perspective of the reviewer. Thus, when considering The Housekeeping Channel's reviews, please do not use the numerical product ratings (e.g., "9.5 out of 10") for direct product comparison purposes since these represent the unique 'take' of each reviewer, and will often vary qualitatively and quantitatively from product to product.

Do rely on the text of the reviews for issues to consider when purchasing similar products, and do consider the scientific data supplied (for example, information from the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval-related research) that will help you in your decision making process. We believe the "truth" about products can only be discovered by weighing, then averaging, a number of factors and credible viewpoints based on available resources and science, then making buying decisions based on what is important to you.

Pros

  • Effective for all types of cleaning.
  • Extremely durable.
  • Removes more dust from woodwork than vacuuming.

Cons

  • More expensive than traditional cloths.

I have a lot of woodwork in my house. It is dark walnut in color, intricate, and magnifies just one day of dust collection and every finger print. Feather dusters just don’t seem to get into the crevices, and vacuuming with the dusting attachment skims the surface.

Recently, I tried the “Miracle Cloth” with great success. It is made of super soft microfibers (over 90,000 fibers per square inch) that work to loosen and trap dust and dirt. Swiping over the surface, with gentle pressure, picks up all of the dust and polishes the surface.

 

It is also useful on other household surfaces. I clean windows and mirrors with a dampened cloth in one hand and then dry them off with a dry Miracle Cloth in the other. It polishes granite, tile and formica counter tops and sucks up more water than you would expect a 12x12 cloth to hold. It’s safe to use with or without chemicals. A word of warning: don’t wash the Miracle Cloth with fabric softener (wet or dry sheets) or with clothes that may contain Velcro®.

 

I have been using the Miracle Cloth now as my sole house rag - even as a replacement for paper towels - for about 3 months. They are a little faded but still holding up and working as well as the day I bought them.
