I bought these to replace my long-loved grey-ribbed microfiber washcloths that I used for removing makeup - because they were grey, they never showed any stains. So, I was a bit worried these bright white ones might be (ahem, too nice for me) stained by my makeup but I decided to order a set for an extended testing. I was astonished. ASTONISHED!

The terry side is unimaginably soft. The muslin side is just the right amount of gentle texture. For the first time in a long time, I relished washing my face... warm water and the soft cloth reminds me to be kind to myself... and with a washcloth full of the murky remains of foundation, cream blushes and bronzers, brow wax, major mascara, very satisfyingly gross - under the running water it all disappeared down the drain. Not a spec left in the cloth on either side. None left on my face either. Wow.

These can be used a couple of times before they need to be laundered. I washed them in warm water, regular detergent, and then they dry fairly quickly on one of those bamboo racks. I have had these for about a month and I think they will last a very long time.
