DII Waffle Microfiber Dishcloth, Citrus Set of 5

I don't like to use a sponge for washing dishes. The microfiber dishcloth is a great option. From my previous experience, I expect these to hold up for a very long time.

These are square, about the size of a facecloth. So I'm deducting 1 star, and somebody should fix the description.

On the subject of odor, which other reviewers have mentioned. No odor fresh out of the package; I can't speak for long term. Generally, when it comes to dish clothes, I think virtually every brand can have this problem over time, unless machine washed very frequently. Whether this is worse than normal, or doesn't hold up to washing, I can't say since I just got them.

These dishcloths are excellent. They are VERY thirsty and soft and have that wonderful microfiber ability to clean.

I bought these based on the other reviews & I have to say these do smell even when dry. I do rinse them out & wring them well & they still smell. I went away for a week & came back & the entire house smelled awful from that one cloth! Also, the first time I washed them the edging started falling apart.

So far I have been very happy with my new dishcloths. It seems like no matter what I do microfiber dishcloths get stinky so much faster. However, I have not had that problem with these dishcloths. They have a nice soft texture which I really like as well. The only thing I would change, although it really is not a big deal, is that if I wipe up something with a bright color like spaghetti sauce it is hard to get the color to rinse out.
