Microfiber rags are household heroes, especially when it comes to wiping down your electronics. Follow these tips to get the most out of yours:

• Use them dry to pick up dust, then dampen them to clean fingerprints, smudges and stuck-on gunk.
• Wet microfiber rags with white distilled vinegar to disinfect and sanitize surfaces.
• Some microfiber cloths have a fluffy side and a flat side. The fluffy side is best for picking up dust, while the flat, scrubby side is best for removing stubborn dirt.
• They’re simple to rinse but can be tossed into the washing machine occasionally.
• Microfiber rags are also usable on car bodies, wooden surfaces and more.

🧽 Are your rags stained and worn? This 50-pack is available for around $20 right now.
