Default Need some new microfibres - any good deals?

I've got about 50 of the sidding things, but wife has either tumble dried them or used them as dishcloths- now they have the absorbency of cheese

Any recommendations?

Yeah, about £8 for 24 if i remember?
Also, they do the mits with microfibre one side, and long dust collector type things the other.

Before you replace them try washing them again,it maybe your wife has used fabric softener or a bio tabs/powder as this will effect absorbency.Do them again in a non-bio wash with no fabric softener and add a cap full of vinegar(sarsons distilled malt white) to the wash,this should give them a lease of new life.
