Just bought microfibre tea towel off eBay. Can't wait to try it.

I'll be interested to hear how they go.

Will let you know cookie. Ordered it off UK site since they had a better selection of colours than the australian one.

Now might not be the time to mention I saw some microfibre sish cloths and tea towels at The Reject Shop....may not be the same quality as yours though Courton...but might be worth a try at the price.

They are much much prettier than the beige and white ones at the Reject Shop! I would've chosen the aquamarine ones too :)

I've never seen microfibre tea towels - are they better driers than say waffle, linen or terry towelling?

I haven't used them in the kitchen yet, but when DD was little I used to use a microfibre towel to dry her after a bath as it was so much more absorbent, I could dry her more quickly than with a regular towelling one. I'm hoping my dishes dry quickly like DD :)

I use microfiber cloths in the kitchen and for cleaning they are great, I have two bamboo fibre tea towels they are fabulous so absorbent .
