Yep. These types of cloths are getting easier to find, but that is because the market is being flooded with cheap imitations and alternatives. You can find good ones if you try, but all microfiber is not created equal. In order to have results that are quick and easy to achieve, you need a good cloth. High quality microfiber cloths like the ones we carry will clean better, last longer and be easier to use than others.

Very true. But don’t get duped by those freebee, included with purchase microfiber cloths either. You know, the ones that feel like a pair of nylons and are thin and slippery. Those ones are microfiber cloths, but certainly don’t deliver the same level of cleaning power, and definitely won’t last like the ones mentioned here. It is more than just using microfiber, it is all about getting a high quality cloth if you want to make cleaning easy and get a cloth that will last for years.

You are most welcome for the info. A microfiber cloth is the best way, and you can certainly find cheap ones everywhere now-a-days. The problem is that, like with everything else, you get what you pay for. Many electronic and phone manufacturers will actually include free cloths with your purchase, but those ones, and the cheap ones at Walmart and the dollar store won’t clean as well, and definitely won’t last as long. If you take a look at any of those low cost wipes, you will notice they have an almost nylon look and feel to them. This cheap and lightweight fabric will do a mediocre job at cleaning your screen because it is only able to sort of wipe, and not really clean or absorb. This means that you will mostly just be kind of smearing the crud around until the screen looks useable. Our cloths are probably 5 times the weight, and have a totally different look and feel to them. That is because they are totally different, and work way better because of it. The thick, high quality material that makes up our cloths packs more cleaning power, and is much more able to absorb dirt, oils and residues. We know…What do you care, right? A cloth is a cloth. Well… for just pennies more in most cases, you could have our cloth, and each time you clean your phone, it would take you less time, and you would have better results. This means that you would be cleaning it less frequently in the first place, spending less time wiping to get it clean, and having a fingerprint-free phone more often. This will result in less people looking at you sideways because you carry such a grimey phone, or making fun of you because you seem obsessed with wiping it all the time. You will also gain the benefit of having a cloth that will last years longer than your special dollar store cheap-o version, but by all means, please do as you wish. Don’t listen to our “commercial” and go out of your way to save some pocket change while making things less clean and more difficult on yourself. It’s worth it.

Feel free to send us a private email John, and include your shipping address. We would be happy to send you a cloth, free of charge, just to prove to you how great and different from your run of the mill screen wipe they are.

Yep. Safer=better. These cloths are a no-brainer. They work great and you do not run any risk of damage.

Thank you for the tips. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy and I’ve already cleaned it twice with electronic screen cleaning wipes that contain alcohol!! I assumed they were safe, but after reading this I will not use them again. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. It is always nice to hear from actual users out there. These little guys are phenomenal at removing gunk from delicate screens, and it is always nice to have some real reviews mixed in to balance out the more cyniclal folks among us.

I absolutely love your stupid (read awesome) cloth for cleaning my iPhone, and my eyeglasses, and all other delicate items that can be easily scratched – I have a collection of different sizes and wash them separately in a lingerie bag. Great post!

Agreed. Most people do use google, but we are not sure what that has to do with cleaning a phone. If you are looking for a way to clean your phone without purchasing our stupid (read awesome) cloth, may we suggest the hot breath and back of a t-shirt method. We find this perfect for folks who refuse to make their lives easier by purchasing a fantastic solution that makes the job quick and easy. After all it is a huge investment to drop less than $3 including shipping on a cloth that cleans amazingly and can be washed and reused hundreds of times. Just sayin…
