Review on 🧼 Eurow Microfiber Ultrasonic Cut Cleaning and Drying Towels - 12-Pack, 16x16 Inches, 300 GSM by Collin Donahue

If it's 300gsm I'll eat my hat

I'm new to the whole concept of GSM (grams per square meter) in microfiber rating so I ordered the same brand of microfiber fabric last month but 240g /m² ordered see what 240GSM is. For comparison, I have several high-quality microfiber towels. Not sure what their GSM rating is but wanted to compare. When fabrics with a density of 240 GSM arrived, I immediately realized that their density is much lower than what I have now. Now I knew what 240gsm looked/feel like. NOTE. Higher GSM material weighs more than lower GSM material. Fabrics with high GSM values are usually thicker and when there is a pile they are softer. Heavier (denser) GSM wipes absorb more liquid than lighter (less dense) wipes. 300gsm seems to be the most popular multi-purpose microfiber towel weight. When using the 240gsm towels I found that they didn't absorb much moisture (which was to be expected given the low gsm) but also because of the reduced density. They allowed the lint and fibers to penetrate the microfibers. The next time I use them after cleaning, they scatter that lint or residue onto any damp surface I try to dry. (I only wash microfiber towels alone. Never with other laundry. Prevents lint from other clothes.) Now that I know what 240 GSM is, I decided to buy microfiber towels of the same brand as 240, but use 300GSM. . Apparently good micro fabrics vary between 300-350GSM. When the 300 arrived it became clear that they were no better than the 240. In fact, I'm willing to bet they weren't the 300 because there wasn't a noticeable difference between them. So I sent them back. So if you are like me and just discovered the GSM rating for microfiber towels, just know that the estimated rating might not matter much if you are looking for a low price. Wash microfiber towels separately and tumble dry low. It makes them happy and working the way they should.
