The Best Microfibre Cloths in Australia (2026)

How to choose a microfibre cloth in Australia

The best microfibre cloth in Australia for most homes is the MR.SIGA Microfibre Cleaning Cloth, All Purpose, Pack of 6, rated 4.6 from 12,198 ratings on its Amazon AU listing. For glass, the MR.SIGA Ultra Fine pack lists 320 grams per square metre and lint free. For a bulk stack, Amazon Basics sells a pack of 24. For car work, The Rag Company Liquid8r and Eagle Edgeless 500 are the towels to compare. Microfiber, spelled the American way, is the same fabric.

Four listing facts decide the choice. Fabric weight, written GSM, is grams per square metre: the glass cloths list 320, the Eagle Edgeless 500 lists 500 and the Liquid8r lists 1100. Size and pack count decide how many jobs one pack covers, from a single towel to 24 cloths. Edge is the part of the cloth that meets the surface: the Eagle lists no tags and an edgeless design, and the Liquid8r a hemmed hidden border. Care wording tells you how to wash a cloth, so read it before the first wash.

The table gives fabric weight, size, pack count and edge as each listing states them. Not stated means we searched the listing text and found no figure. It covers five of the six cards; the sixth, the CarMax towel, has its own section below.

How we checked these microfibre cloths

We read the Amazon AU listing for each of these six cloths: the title, the bullet points, the product information table and the maker's own wording on the page. We took GSM, size, pack count, fabric blend, edge and care wording only from those words, and the star rating and rating count from the listing page. Where a listing gave two values for one fact, such as the All Purpose size and its drying advice, we say so. We read listings and do not run lab tests, so any claim about how a cloth performs is the maker's wording, labelled as that.

Best overall: MR.SIGA Microfibre Cleaning Cloth, All Purpose, Pack of 6

The MR.SIGA Microfibre Cleaning Cloth, All Purpose, Pack of 6 is the best overall pick for everyday cleaning, rated 4.6 from 12,198 ratings on its Amazon AU listing. The listing says the cloths soak up water from the countertop and tables without lint or streaks left behind, and clean with or without water and with or without chemical cleaners, from worktops and appliances to kitchens, bathrooms and mirrors. It also calls them perfect dish rags which don't smell. The product information lists a hanging loop.

The listing adds that the cloths are ultra soft and highly absorbent, gentle enough to be used as washcloths and bath towels but strong enough for household cleaning. It says they remove grease and particles from the microwave oven, plates, pots or pans, and can dust silverware and glasses. The pack is six cloths in grey, the product information gives an item weight of 310 Grams for the pack, and the bullets say the stitching and reinforced edges are made to last hundreds of washings. These are the maker's words and we have not tested them.

The listing leaves some facts open. It states no GSM. The page title reads 13.8 x 15.7 in, while the item dimensions read 40 x 40 cm, so we quote the title size and suggest you check the cloth when it arrives. The bullets say tumble dry low, while the product information says do not tumble dry, so follow the label on your cloth. It is sold by MR. SIGA AU and shipped from Amazon. Floors are a different job: a microfibre pad on a steam mop covers a whole room without a bucket.

MR.SIGA Ultra Fine Microfibre Cloths for Glass, Pack of 6

Glass is the job where a coarse cloth shows. The listing title calls these ultra fine microfibre cloths for glass, window and mirror, and its bullets say the soft microfiber won't scratch the surface and is lint free, non abrasive and easy to wash. It lists mirror, window, stemwares, lens and glasses as ideal uses. The product information gives a fabric weight of 320 grams per square metre and a blend of 84% polyester and 16% nylon, and the bullets give a size of 35 x 40 cm. Keeping one cloth for glass only is our advice, not the maker's. For windows you cannot reach from inside, see our guide to the robot window cleaner options.

The listing gives two colour statements: the product information lists the colour as Green, while the bullets say the cloths are available in mint and Turkish blue, so check the colour you pick. The bullets give the size as 35 x 40 cm and as 13.7 x 15.7 in. The pack is six cloths with an item weight of 282 Grams, and the care field says to hand or machine wash them separately in warm water with mild detergent. The bullets call the finish fine polish and very smooth, which is the maker's wording and not our test.

Amazon Basics Microfiber Cleaning Cloths, Pack of 24

When you want a stack, the Amazon Basics pack holds 24 cloths, the largest pack in this guide, and its listing is rated 4.6 from 86,629 ratings. The bullets say the cloths are ultra soft and non abrasive, soak up eight times their own weight, and can be rinsed and reused 100's of times. The listing gives the colours as pink, green and gray, which suits colour coding by room (see Colour coding below). It lists 90% polyester and 10% polyamide, and each cloth measures about 0.3 m x 0.41 m. The listing states no GSM. The bullets say it cleans dry or with liquid cleaners for streak free and lint free results, and the seller on the listing is Amazon AU.

The product information gives the model name as CW190449 with Amazon as the manufacturer, a unit count of 24 and the colour as Green/Gray/Pink. It lists an item weight of 1.53 Pounds for the whole pack and item dimensions of 41 x 30 centimetres, which agrees with the 0.3 m x 0.41 m in the title and bullets. The bullets say the cloths will not scratch paints, vinyl, glass, finishes or other surfaces; that is the maker's claim, not our test. The care field reads Machine Wash.

CarMax Twisted Loop Car Drying Towel 1400gsm

A drying towel is the last step of a wash, so match it to the car wash kit you already own. The CarMax listing is a double sided twisted loop towel, XL, 60cm x 40cm, listed at 1400gsm, and its bullets describe rapid, one pass drying. The listing does not state its edge type. The product information gives the care instruction as Machine Wash, and the fabric weight as 1400 Grams per Square Meter. Its status is on the card below.

The Rag Company Liquid8r Drying Towel 1100 GSM

The Liquid8r is a double twist loop drying towel, 20 in x 24 in, listed at 1100 gsm in a 70/30 blend. Its bullets describe a soft hemmed hidden / edgeless design border, say it glides across the surface and is safe on all surfaces, and mention hundreds of thousands of thirsty fibers per square inch. The maker describes The Rag Company as America's premier microfiber products manufacturer and distributor since 1999. The seller on the listing is CarCareCo.

The full listing title calls it an absorbent 70/30 blend microfiber drying towel for cars, trucks and SUVs, safe for detailing and scratch free, with a twist loop weave. Those are the words the seller chose for the title, and we have not tested the scratch free claim ourselves.

The product information lists the colour as Aqua Blue / Grey, a fabric weight of 1100 Grams per Square Meter and item dimensions of 61 x 50.8 centimetres, which is the 20 in x 24 in size in metric. The bullets call the material 100% split microfiber and say the towel can withstand hundreds of washings with proper care, getting softer each time. Those are the maker's words, and the care field reads Machine Wash.

The Rag Company Eagle Edgeless 500 Microfibre Detailing Towel, 4 Pack

Edge matters when you press a cloth onto paint with product on it. The Eagle listing says it is perfect for detailing sprays and no rinse / waterless wash products, that the plush pile can be used with all types of detailing sprays, waxes and polishes, and that no tags and an edgeless design mean no scratches. That is the maker's claim and we have not tested it. The pack holds four 40 cm x 40 cm towels at 500 grams per square metre in a 70% polyester and 30% polyamide blend, made in South Korea per the listing, and sold by CarCareCo. For the wax itself see our car wax guide, and for the machine side our car polisher guide.

The product information adds a square shape, the colour as ORANGE, a unit count of 4 and an item weight of 0.34 Kilograms for the pack. The bullets say the towels are made from AA Grade microfiber yarn and that they are manufactured in South Korea on German microfiber production equipment (Karl Mayer). The last bullets also say the towel softness increases with each washing and that it can withstand hundreds of washings with proper care. That is the maker's wording and we have not washed these towels to check it. The care field reads Machine Wash.

What microfibre is made from

Microfibre, or microfiber on an American label, is the fabric these listings describe as polyester blended with nylon or polyamide: 87% polyester and 13% nylon for the All Purpose cloth, 84% and 16% for the glass cloths, 90% polyester and 10% polyamide for Amazon Basics, and 70% polyester and 30% polyamide for the Eagle. The Liquid8r title says 70/30 blend. None of them is listed as cotton. We have not tested how each blend performs, so the blend is a fact to compare, not a ranking.

GSM and matching the weight to the job

GSM is grams per square metre, the weight of the fabric, and the listing field is called Fabric Weight. Four of the six listings state it in their product information: 320 for the glass cloths, 500 for the Eagle, 1100 for the Liquid8r and 1400 for the CarMax towel, which has its own section below. The All Purpose cloth and the Amazon Basics pack state no GSM, so we do not give one. None of the cloths here states 600 GSM. The Liquid8r pairs 1100 gsm with a double twist loop for drying a car, while the glass cloths are the lightest stated weight at 320. We have not tested whether a heavier cloth wipes or dries better, so match the weight to the job each listing describes.

Do not confuse the weight field with the item weight. The All Purpose listing gives an item weight of 310 Grams for its pack of six, and the glass pack gives 282 Grams for its six, but those are the weight of the whole pack, not GSM, and they cannot be compared with the fabric weight of 320 or 500. If a listing gives no fabric weight, as the All Purpose and Amazon Basics listings do, the honest reading is not stated, and the job words in the bullets are the better guide.

Lint free microfibre cloths for windows and mirrors

Three of the listings use the words lint free. The MR.SIGA Ultra Fine glass cloths say lint free and non abrasive in the bullets and list Lint Free, Scratch Free in the product information. The All Purpose listing says its cloths soak up water without lint or streaks left behind and lists Lint Free in the product information, and the Amazon Basics bullets promise streak free and lint free results when cleaning dry or with liquid cleaners. For a final polish on a mirror or window, a clean cloth reserved for glass is our advice. We have no source on which cloth professional window cleaners choose.

The two MR.SIGA packs describe windows differently. The glass pack lists mirror, window, stemwares, lens and glasses as ideal uses, while the All Purpose bullets call its cloths great for cleaning windows, kitchenware, car or other delicate surfaces. If you clean glass and the kitchen in the same week, buying both packs lets you keep the jobs apart, which is our advice rather than either listing's.

Edgeless or hemmed edges: protecting your paint

The listings use different words for the edge. The Eagle says no tags and an edgeless design, which it says means no scratches. The Liquid8r says a soft hemmed hidden / edgeless design border, and the All Purpose cloth says reinforced edges that prevent unraveling. The Eagle listing is the one that makes the no scratches claim for paint work; that is the maker's claim and we have not tested it. The Amazon Basics, MR.SIGA glass and CarMax listings do not state an edge type. Where a listing says nothing about the edge, treat the edge as not stated, check the cloth by hand when it arrives and keep any cloth with a hard seam away from paint, which is our advice rather than the maker's.

Washing and care

The care wording is on the listings, so follow it. The MR.SIGA glass cloths say to hand or machine wash separately in warm water with mild detergent, with no bleach or fabric softener, no tumble dry and no ironing. The All Purpose product information says the same, but its bullets say tumble dry low, so the two disagree: the cautious choice is not to tumble dry, and the label on your cloth has the final word. Amazon Basics and the Eagle list machine wash. The Amazon Basics bullets say the cloths can be rinsed and reused 100's of times, and the Eagle bullets say towel softness increases with each washing and that it can withstand hundreds of washings with proper care. The care fields differ in detail: the All Purpose product information reads do not iron, do not tumble dry, do not use bleach or fabric softener, and machine wash or hand wash separately in warm water and mild detergent, while the Amazon Basics, Liquid8r and Eagle fields read Machine Wash only. Where a field is short, follow the label on the cloth and wash it on its own.

Washing microfibre cloths step by step

Wash a microfibre cloth separately from other items, in warm water with mild detergent, as the MR.SIGA listings say. Leave out bleach and fabric softener. Keep the cloth dry after use, as the All Purpose bullets say. For drying, follow the label: the glass listing says do not tumble dry. A cloth kept for glass or paint is best washed on its own so it stays clean for that job; that is our advice, not the maker's.

Pack count, size and weight on the listings

Pack count and item weight show what you carry home. The All Purpose pack is six cloths and lists 310 Grams, the Ultra Fine glass pack is six cloths and lists 282 Grams, the Amazon Basics pack is 24 cloths and lists 1.53 Pounds, and the Eagle pack is four towels and lists 0.34 Kilograms. The listings use different units, so we show them as written rather than converting.

Then read the size. The glass bullets give 35 x 40 cm and 13.7 x 15.7 in, the Eagle towels are 40 cm x 40 cm, and the Liquid8r is 20 in x 24 in. The All Purpose listing gives 13.8 x 15.7 in in the title and 40 x 40 cm in its item dimensions, so treat those two as a pair to check when the cloths arrive. A size in inches and one in centimetres describe the same cloth only when the listing gives both.

Choosing a cloth by job

For wiping benches and kitchen surfaces, start with the MR.SIGA All Purpose pack, whose listing names worktops, appliances, kitchens, bathrooms and mirrors. If you want more cloths for the same job, the Amazon Basics pack holds 24. For mirrors, windows and lenses, the Ultra Fine pack names those uses in its bullets.

For drying a car, the Liquid8r is the towel here built around it: its title names cars, trucks and SUVs and its bullets say it quickly absorbs everything in its path. For waxes, detailing sprays and polishes, the Eagle bullets name those products. These are matches between the job and each listing's own words, not test results.

Colour coding to keep jobs separate

The simplest way to keep jobs apart is to give each job its own colour. The Amazon Basics pack is listed in pink, green and gray, so you can assign one colour to the kitchen, one to the bathroom and one to the car, and never let the cloth that wiped one job touch the next. This is our advice, not the listing's: the listing states the colours, not a colour system. Keep a separate cloth for glass and another for paint.

Koala Cloth and other branded cloths

None of the six listings in this guide is a Koala Cloth, so we cannot rate its claims here. If you are comparing a branded cloth with these packs, compare the same listing facts: fabric blend, GSM, size, pack count and care wording. Where a listing leaves one out, treat it as not stated.

Our verdict

For most homes the MR.SIGA Microfibre Cleaning Cloth, All Purpose, Pack of 6 is the cloth to start with, rated 4.6 from 12,198 ratings: its listing covers worktops, appliances, kitchens, bathrooms and mirrors, and it comes with a hanging loop and reinforced edges. For glass and mirrors, the MR.SIGA Ultra Fine pack is the specialist. For a bulk stack, the Amazon Basics pack of 24 comes in pink, green and gray. For drying a car, the Liquid8r is the 1100 GSM towel, and for product on paint the Eagle Edgeless 500 lists no tags and an edgeless design.
