Hi, my name is Anne and I'm addicted to ChefSuccess.

But seriously folks... Since my email notice isn't working, I log on a couple times a day and respond to threads where I posted. I feel bad because people have asked me questions and I never answered them. They must think I'm so rude.

 

[jdavis]

I just had to Anne, lol.

But I have to go back on what I said earlier about Gill, it was 2 PAGES!! of threads her name was on when I pulled up new posts, lmbo

Gill.....step away from the computer. When you see smoke, that's not a good thing, lol.

 

[AJPratt]

Hey, anytime, Jennifer!

Don't worry no one laughs at me more than me!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Sorry, I had some free time on my hands...watch out!!

 

[AJPratt]

Gill, I do the same thing!!

Nope, I think on the use and care card it says so (if my memory serves me correct). I says not to use fabric softner b/c it will affect the absorbancy.. I think

You're absolutely right. No fabric softener of any type. It will affect absorbency. I do not put mine in the dryer at all. I wash it with my delicates and hang it to dry.

Funny story -- I was on the way to the YMCA to teach an Arthritis Aquatics class and realized I forgot my towel! I had a microfiber towel in my kit in my trunk. I was able to dry my body to change from my swimsuit to my street clothes!

I just spilt a whole pot of water and mopped it up with one!! I am totally sold, everyone is getting one for christmas!!

I have a set just for using at home and one that I use at shows. I also have an info sheet that I keep to pass around at shows. I use mine for cleaning my windows. I have a 12 foot wide window in my living room that is a nightmare to keep clean with 2 two year olds (it came with the house). I use one to wipe off my home made window cleaner and one to dry the window. Now it's almost always clean . And I use them to dust my ceiling fans, dry dishes, clean the bathroom sink.

With 2 two yr olds (Bless your heart!!), you can skip the window cleaner step and just wipe the window down with a damp microfiber towel. It will dry clean and streak free!! That's how I do all my mirrors and windows.....okay, just the windows by the front door

When we travel, we keep a cooler filled with water bottles and other items. I keep a towel tucked into the pocket of the cooler. When you lift out a drink it can be wiped down.

I also keep one in each vehicle for all occasions - drinks, spills etc...

Good idea Lee Anne! I need to keep one in my car and my cooler!

So you people are using these to towel your whole selves dry in place of big towels? This would be a good thing to bring to the gym.... except that it won't COVER me while I dash into the changing room! lol.

New UseI found a new use for the microfiber towel today...

When your little ones get a boo boo and want a ice pack, you can put the ice pack in the micro fiber towel and it is so soft they love the feel of it on thier skin.

I bet they make great bib's too. Just clip it on with a Twixit!

Talk about another great idea to add to Baby Shower Presents list! Thanks Amy!

 

[AJPratt]

They would perfect for babies... so soft. I hope they come out in more colors!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Wouldn't a crimson be georgeous for Christmas time? I know they are just towels, but pretty colors are nice!

 

[gilliandanielle]

Gill, I do the same thing!!

I am on every page again, but it isn't my fault! No one else is here!!

Susan...Thanks for that visual!!

Hey wait...maybe you can clip a couple together with twixit clips!! Think about all the conversations you can start about PC wearing that!!

lol

LOL Gill. That's because everyone is out doing fireworks while you're glued to your screen, lol.

 

[gilliandanielle]

Were not into fireworks in Alaska because it is never dark enough to see them!! New years is all the firworks we get here.

Really?

I heard them going off on the 4th, but you cant see any of them because it was still light at midnight.

I love my microfiber towel. They are great for cleaning up spills from the little kids and your DH. My brother in law is a freak about cleaning his car and having streaks so I suggested he buy some of our towels. He loves them and uses them for cleaning his motorcyle (his baby.) I haven't used it yet for dusting but I have heard great things and am going to try it the next time I dust. I also demonstrate the 2 C water in the small batter bowl and people are amazed.

 

[AJPratt]

They are great for dusting and for cleaning mirrors. You need no water or cleaner, just rub them with the towel.

 

[apriljc]

I love my microfiber towel. One day my two boys had a heck of a time with their drinks and the kept spilling them. I just used my towel and it soaked it all up. I got my brother in law to buy a couple to use on cleaning his care and motorcycle. I haven't used them yet to dust but after reading this I will have to try it.

 

[pcjeanie]

I started doing to 2-cup water demo at my shows. I wasn't selling the towels before, but now I sell several at each show. Try this demo by putting 2 cups of water in the small batter bowl and soaking it up with the towel. It works! It also is good for this month showing the small batter bowl. I do always tell them not to put fabric softener on it. I suggest buying all 3 colors -- 1 for the kitchen, 1 for cleaning inside the house, and 1 for the garage. So far, I don't think anybody has bought all 3, but it doesn't hurt to try. I love this product!

I just got my towels today and used them at my show this evening (only 2 guests there and sold 1 of them) They were very impressed at how fast it soaked up the water. I will be doing that at all of my shows!

[gilliandanielle]

I don't think that I have had someone not buy three!!!

 

[ChefBeth2]

What exactly is the water trick?At home, I took one of my regular kitchen towels and put 2 cups of water in the batter bowl and it soaked up most of the 2 cups. Then I did the same thing with the Microfiber Towel, and it pretty much did the same thing. Is there more to the trick than this?

[gilliandanielle]

I never compare it to anything, I just show that it soaks up the two cups. And make sure that you aren't using fabric softener or dryer sheets because I almost ruined mine that way. Wash them all in white vinegar to increase absorbancy and to "save" them from the fabric softener monster!

I don't compare either, BUT I did the same thing you did at home. I took one of my regular kitchen towels and it DIDN'T soak up the 2 cups as well as the microfiber towel! Maybe your other towels are pretty absorbant too!

 

[jennytodd]

thanks for the ideas!wow i was scared of these towels b/c they give me the willies too when i touch them (guess i need some lotion huh) but all these great ideas have changed my thinking! I will definately try the 2 cup water demo!!!
