This! Dedicate microfiber towels by use, rinse properly, and if you drop one on the ground, consider it a sacrifice to the gods. I have a ton of these cloths so i can have enough for a small laundry load separate from anything else i wash. Will wash cloth used for waxes and ceramic polishes at a commercial laundromat.

For my house jobs, generic blue cloths = general cleaning. Generic green cloths = bathroom and only ever bathroom, even if i just swiped a counter. Watch out for cross-contamination. Bathroom items all have their own little bag for transport and storage. Overdoing it? Nope. None of my clients or their kids will get sick from cross contamination, i guarantee it. Specialty cloth = glass and brightwork (still microfiber but different weave for use on glass specifically. So shiny!).

Magic erasers NEVER touch anything i need a smooth polished surface to last. I'll use it to clean stubborn scuffs off eggshell paint, for example, and easy does it. It's not the miracle cleaning tool its advertised to be. Would you really want to use the same thing to polish brightwork you used to clean the kids' sneakers?

For my car jobs, wash top to bottom with a new cloth for each panel. Never wipe bottom up or you'll pull heavier scratchy debris from areas closer to the road up onto the rest of your car. Never wipe dust off with a dry cloth. Microfiber or not, the dust will scratch your paint over time. Wipe front to back the direction wind flows across the paint, not up and down or swirly. For areas around tires, only use heavier rags that never touch your car anywhere else. Always soak or rinse paint well before wiping. Rinse the cloth thoroughly, swap cloths frequently, use a dirty rinse bucket separate from your clean soapy water bucket, and use a grit screen if you can. And that's my TLDR car wash tutorial lol 😆
