So very pleased with this product and relieved to finally find it!
I find this cleaning product uncommonly exciting.  For a little background, I used to use unscented dusting cloths produced by a major company and designed to trap allergens as you dusted. That product was discontinued, and I've been rationing out my remaining supply and using each one until it is positively charcoal with dust. Search after search left me dismayed at being unable to find a disposable alternative. (I am all about reusable products, but with my allergies, I need something disposable for dusting.)<br /><br />A month ago I tried the smaller size xcel cloth and was delighted that it did all my prior cloths did and MORE.  I was especially impressed that it could grab damp grime and absorb fairly large quantities of powdered material such as a nutritional supplement I had spilled or laundry powder when cleaning off my laundry shelf.  It also does a job like no other on the sticky grid of my HVAC return.  I was especially surprised by the performance because of how very thin and porous these are--dotted with holes.  After an initial wipe of surfaces using one side, I just keep folding and folding it until every corner looks sooty/brown/whatever the color of the dust or substance I'm picking up is.  Due to how thin and porous they are, I thought it would be a good idea to pick some up in the larger size as well for times when I want to do a lot of dusting all at once.  I like having both options depending on the cleaning job, as they pick up so much more than you expect that you'll definitely be using each cloth to the max and then throwing it out.  I saw someone else say that these are like paper towels but better, and I have to disagree.  They are in a whole 'nother class, and if you just swipe a mess on a counter with one side and throw it away you are missing their strengths.  If you are wasting these for a quick wipe and not walking around your house/apartment looking for things to clean with every little corner, you are wasting them.  One cloth can do so much!<br /><br />Additionally, they are wonderful wet--both gentle and highly effective. As a case in point, I used to use a facial serum that contained seabuckthorn berry. Anyone who has used that knows that it is colorful and stains badly. Some of the drips from the bottle had run down the outside of the medicine cabinet and the wall. And I could never get them off without concerns about ruining the paint. However using one of these cloths damp was highly effective and gentle.<br /><br />I am over the moon! I received this product at a small discount in exchange for providing my unbiased review.
