I know it says you can use tapwater, but I suggest using distilled water that you can buy at any grocery store. The results will be better, or at least mine were...

I said I didn't want the second one, but was informed that I had to take the second one (and pay the additional s/h!) They wouldn't let me order just one, so I didn't buy it!

I have several microfiber cloths I use to clean my camera lenses and etc. I have to wash them one, two, sometimes three times before the fuzz breaks down some and it becomes more absorbent. Be sure to not use any fabric softener in the wash, and let them air dry. Many times these things (like dish towels) have a "film" on them from manufacturing, that is easily remedied with detergent. Alternatively, you could wash them in a sink with a little bit of Tide and warm water. I was going to suggest the exact same thing, Maria.

Those things when new are awful, but sometimes get totally better after a (or several!) washes. The "fuzz" gets to a better texture. I once has a mf cleaning cloth that sucked, til I washed it a couple times to give it away, and it started working perfectly! Just something to try.
