I Need To Stop With The Microfiber Cloths.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Tue, 18 Feb 2020 18:26:30 GMT

DD came home from the post office with a QVC box. She gave it to me and burst out laughing when I pulled out 2 40 piece Campanelli microfiber clothes. Yes, ladies 80 of them. DD said "I take you had a wild hair the day you ordered them." It's just the 2 of us and we don't generate a lot of dirt. No idea why I bought so many.

I have since found out having a wild hair is a sudden decision without thinking. (paraphrased).

Now I have had a few others in past years so they are not new to me. I have some set aside for my son, my sister and a good friend. A couple are going in each of the cars.

Have you never had your own "wild hair" and purchased multiples of something and wondered why?

@Mom2Dogs I am claiming "a senior monent." That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

If I give the 3 people I mentioned each 10 cloths, then I only have 50 left. Doesn't sound much better does it? lol

I purchase multiple of items when I shop just so I don't have to go back to the store for several months. I stocked up on supplies before winter because I don't want to get out when it's cold. LOL!!!

I have some microfiber clothes but not that many. I don't use them that much. I cannot stand how they feel. I use them for my sunglasses, mirrors TV/computer screen.

I know I have way more Lock&Locks than necessary. 😔

@QVCkitty1 I have a lot too but they weren't all purchased at once. Actually, a lot of mine have disappeared. I send food home with my son with me saying "bring my Lock n Lock back please." I never see them again. Darn kids.

Well you could always put some stuffing in them, sew them together and give them to Petuina as a toy.

I buy these in multiples also. I have found that they are great to use when taking off your makeup -- especially eye makeup.they are soft and don't stain. I have included them in gift spa gift baskets that include soaps ,creams ,head wraps etc.they are very multi purpose items!,

@gunnergab I get 50 of these every 3 months from Amazon. I use the Amazon brand. I can't get enough of these amazing clothes! I use them for cleaning wet and dry and cleansing face. I couldn't live without them.

Only problem is after I use, I'm constantly dropping in the washer. I usually do one wash a week only for my microfiber.

After a certain # of washings, I rotate them into "discard" pile that I use to polish my metal finishes (silver, bronze, copper) after which I toss. Also, use to clean vacuum canister (dyson) and then discard.

Hard to break the multiples habit formed when purchasing for a family - especially at the grocery store. But those are big packages of microfiber and mine seem to live forever, especially the better brand ones (not from the big box store).

@meowkittyand @KingstonsMom Great idea. lol DD makes quilts, she can cut them in smaller pieces and make her a blue/aqua/turquoise catnip toy. I'm just kidding.

P has enough toys, she's still on "light duty" after her surgery.

@Nightowlz I don't like the nubby ones because things stick to them like they're velcro and doesn't come out when you wash them. I got sucked in by one of those clay cleaners recently which came with 3 microfiber cloths that are not nubby, but more of a small waffle weave and I love those, but I'm saving them for my mirrors because I only have 3 of them.

@Icegoddess

So I guess you are saying not all microfiber clothes are the same. Guess I have never had any other besides the nubby ones.

I have the Rubbermaid glass & mirror clothes from Amazon to use on mirrors. Just found out they are microfiber. They must be like the other microfiber clothes you are talking about. I never knew they were microfiber? I like those they work pretty good.

But no, @CrazyKittyLvr2

That is the right amount to have.

Why? Because it's important to wash and dry them together, without other fabrics. Otherwise, they stick to other fabrics in the dryer but drying them alone means they come out of the dryer separately. And having enough for a full or almost full load gets you to 20, or 30, or 40, or even 50!
