It attracts dirt like a powerful magnet.
All dirt has a negative charge.
When the cloth comes in contact with dirt, it acts like a powerful magnet attracting the dirt and grime into the towel. The dirt and grime remain in the cloth until it is washed with warm soapy water, so you are not spreading the dirt around while cleaning. And there is more that we have found, cleaning glass knickknacks and ceramic antiques. Things we used to wash in warm soapy water and then dry, now just wipe them off and they are clean and shiney. We keep finding new things all the time.
