How to Use E-Cloth: Wet or Dry
E-Cloth says its cloths are designed to deliver "a streak-free, spotless clean with just water." E-Cloth says of its General Purpose Cloth: "Masses of precision-engineered microfibers attract and trap grease, grime, fingerprints, and over 99% of bacteria using the cleaning power of water."
E-Cloth also notes that "without cleaning fluids to lug and spray, you'll speed through chores" and "avoid elements that could linger in air and on surfaces and travel down drains." The General Purpose Cloth is "backed by our 1-year or 100-wash promise."
Some cloths are used dry (screens, glasses, dusting), others are dampened (general cleaning, stainless, stone, windows) and then finished with a dry Glass & Polishing Cloth.

- Machine wash with a little detergent. No bleach, fabric softener or dryer sheets. Hang dry.
