Not quite the same quality as The Rag Company Blue Glass and Windows Towels
I have recently been using the blue window towels from the Rag Company. They clean really great so when I saw these microfiber towels from Microfiber Wholesale for much less, I thought I would try them out for comparison. To fairly compare the towels, I ordered another set of towels at the same time from Rag Company.
The towels from each company have a similar appearance from a distance, however, the manufacturing differences become more apparent when examined closely. The Rag Company towels are made in Korea with a texture pattern that forms straight ridges down the towel. The Microfiber Wholesale towels are made in China and have more of a small checkerboard pattern. The Microfiber Wholesale towels are much lighter and very pliable, and the Rag Company towels are noticeably stiffer. If you hold the Microfiber Wholesale towels up to your eyes like a blindfold, you can see through the towels and clearly make out your surroundings. The Rag Company towels prevent you from seeing anything through the towels.
I cleaned the windshield of my car using Invisible Glass and a microfiber towel from each company. The Rag Company towels seem to grab a little more on the glass than then Microfiber Wholesale towels. The Microfiber Wholesale towels feel wetter and have more streaking than the Rag Company towels, probably due to them being a little thinner and more flimsy. The Microfiber Wholesale towels may take an additional wipe to absorb the window cleaner. I feel like I could clean fewer windows with the Microfiber Wholesale towels before the towel is saturated with cleaner than the Rag Company towels.
The towels from both companies left my windows looking really good, but it is obvious that the quality is better with the Rag Company. If you want the best window microfiber I know of, use the Rag Company. If you want to save a few dollars while still getting really good results, go with the Microfiber Wholesale towels. For me, I'm keeping the Microfiber Wholesale towels for cleaning car windows, but I'll most likely buy the Rag Company towels next time.
