I buy microfibre towels from the auto parts section of Target (or COSTCO). They really soak up a lot of water. Plus, if they are safe for use on a Ferrari, they are safe for use on your dishes and table.

For big jobs, like drying a wet poodle, the large waffle-cloth microfiber towels are great.

Well, they won't scratch the surfaces. I use them for cleaning my glasses (spectacles). I learned about them in a car detailing forum. I never thought about using them for drying dishes, but they probably would do a good job.
Probably all that cotton in the rag bag in my workshop would be good, but they wouldn't look very good hanging in my kitchen!
In my other life. before I had to take care of The Elders, I used to weave. I would weave linen dish towels. I like the linen dish towels from Ireland my Mom has. I want to weave again, some day.My preference for drying dishes is linen. My preference for other things is cotton. I prefer natural fibers. Hemp is a good substitute for linen.

Is all kind of cloth marketed to be "micro-fibre" the same as you and he said?
by the way, is micro-fibre or cotton safe for all surfaces?
Kenny, if you do get some microfibre cloths, here's a tip: don't use fabric softener on them. I have been told it gums them up.
