This is one of those curious little things that run through my head in the late evening - but I was wondering if anyone has found any practical use on the workbench for those MicroFiber towels one sees at the stores these days.
I have always relied on the ubiquitous paper towel for cleaning up excess oil and free carbon, but the lint left by those is a problem and I admittedly never really got into the real shop towels as I'm a mere "amateur". But MicroFiber seems to leave the issue of lint in the dust-bin of history, are washable and appear to be capable of really picking up the dirt/grit and holding on until washing. Might they also be kind to bluing and other finicky finishes?
Any comments?
