(Information available on line) Get the cloth wet, wring as dry as possible, then clean surface. It will dry with no streaks or going back over. It dries perfectly. The surface is CLEAN with no lint or anything else left on the glass. It saves paper towels, cleaner, and time and is environmentally friendly. These cloths can be used on any hard surface but it is especially great on glass, mirrors, and plastic (such as the door of the microwave that always seems to be streaked.) It is washed in the washing machine and allowed to dry.
