Review on 🧽 Amazon Basics 12x16 Microfiber Cleaning Cloth Pack of 24 - Blue, White, Yellow by Chris Cranor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good value for money, acceptable quality

Basic is the best way to describe these towels. They really are microfiber and are just the right size to be a staple in any household for quick jobs that require a soft towel (drying dishes, cleaning electronics, wiping windowsills, cleaning countertops, etc.). I find them to be of lower quality compared to my first set of microfiber towels. My first set of microfiber towels which I bought in October 2016. Extra thick microfiber towels, 350 g/m². Auto Detailing, Bathroom & Kitchen by MicrofiberPros (Rainbow) EXPERIENCE COMPARISON Superdense materials hold good shape in hands as they are more durable. They can hold more liquid because they are larger and thicker. They hold the edges well if you fold them like soft sponges. You can pretty much fold them into perfect rectangles and squares. To be honest they look and feel the same as they did when I originally bought them, even after 6 months of use and about 25 visits to the washer and dryer. Neatly folded when stored, they look neat, clean and organized. The basics are more like napkins. They definitely do the job but I don't feel too confident cleaning with them. One of them looks more like a paper towel or napkin than a microfiber towel. They just don't hold their shape as well as Super Thicks. After the first visit to the washing machine and dryer, they curl at the edges and do not fold cleanly. They're just not that fun to work with. It takes time to fold neatly for storage because the edges are not folded neatly. VALUESuper thick - currently $25 for a 12-pack (date of my purchase: $20) Revain Basics - $17 for a 36-pack. about $2 per towel, while the average is less than $0.50 per towel. So you have a classic dilemma of quantity versus quality. 4 Revain Basic towels equals 1 Super Thick towel? If you do a size comparison, the answer is definitely no. With Revain Basics, you get more bang for your buck based on how much stuff you get. If you value quality and attention to detail then I would recommend Super Thicks. If you are on a budget and only need quantity, I would go with Revain Basics.
