 I know forums are all about opinions and I ve earned a decent living from window cleaning over the years but with the introduction of microfiber  cloth,  I have absolutely no use for cotton scrim.

Personally I could never clean a window as easily with microfibre as could with a correctly dampened wet then dry scrim  ???

ive used someone elses unger microfibre and that was good, but i bought a ettore one and it was NAFF!

so i back on scrims now, and use microfibre to mop up sills and frames, good for that...and thats about it

I have used unger microfibre for time, for me they are far superior to scrims i think they are more absorbant.. and you don't have to wear them in as much..

I agree microfibre is a whole leap forward. I wouldn't go back. Some of mine have been in use for 2 years now and are still good.

I use both- Scrim best for detailing, micro' best for cleaning glass.
