Large Microfiber Polishing Cloth for Wine Glasses 0010/07

Loved this Microfiber polishing Cloth… large size. Cleans my computer and Tv screens, and car windows with ease.

We have a large, custom made bar that I designed, and it's filled with crystal stemware and cocktail glasses. Most of our glasses are high quality, expensive, and thin. They are easily broken. Yes, that's the downside. I love having this Riedel polishing cloth to keep them looking clear and bright. The cloth is very large and soft and is perfect for the task. Highly recommended!

I use this cloth for polishing my Spiegelau wine glasses, and it works perfectly. After I got my first set of nice wine glasses, I realized that I just air drying my wine glasses would leave water marks all over the glass. So I went on Amazon to look for a good drying cloth. Riedel is a name brand, and the price was definitely reasonable, so I went with this cloth. The size is big enough that you can cover both of your hands with the cloth, so you won't leave fingerprints on freshly polished glass, and the cloth is durable and doesn't scratch the glass. I've been using this cloth for almost a year now, and I still haven't felt the need to wash it. My usual routine is to handwash my glasses, and as I finish washing one glass, I'll place it upside down on a paper towel. Then once I'm done with the glasses (sometimes 10 glasses at a time), I'll start drying from the first glass I washed. By this time, the glass isn't soaking wet, so my cloth doesn't get soaking wet, but there's still enough moisture left on the glass so that you can polish and wipe down the glass. To get the inside of the bowls, I usually bunch up the cloth and shove it into the bowl. Then I just rotate the glass while holding onto the cloth, which forces the cloth to wipe up against the inside of the bowl. Watch out, though. Spiegelau glasses are pretty durable, but you might break a stem off of a Riedel if you do what I do and turn the glass by the stem while holding onto the cloth inside. My glasses always end up clear and clean. If you want a durable, reliable cloth to clean your glasses, go with this one.

In our household, wine is a part of our evening meal most nights of the year. We have a wide array of stemware and decanters. We cannot air dry our glasses as our domestic well water is heavily laden with minerals. For years, I have purchased Irish linen glasscloths, at considerable expense, and use them solely for drying glassware. The linen option is somewhat high maintenance, requiring careful washing and a steam iron after drying, or you end up with a wrinkly wadded up mess of a drying cloth. Even at that, nothing is ever truly lint or streak free. I bought a couple of these Riedel microfiber crystal cloths, despite being somewhat skeptical of the 'miracle microfiber' gimmick. I'm an instant convert. These cloths work, although how they do it I could not begin to tell you. Straight out of the package, they are lightweight, thin, silky material that does not seem nearly suited to the task. Nevertheless, rinse your Sommeliers (or other glassware) and give them a quick wipe with one of these Riedel cloths and be amazed -- glassware is dry, shiny, lint and streak free. That simple. The towels are a generous size and more than adequate for drying a number of your big Sommelier Burgundy grand cru stems and a good sized decanter. The towels themselves also dry very quickly. Just a few minutes in a cool dryer and your towel will be ready for another round. Well worth the tariff.

I honestly didn't think that a polishing cloth would make much difference....but after spending a considerable amount of money on 4 sets of Riedel wine glasses, the cost of trying this cloth was negligible. I'm quite happy to report that the cloth works wonders - just rinsing the glasses in hot water and a quick drying/polishing with this cloth & my glasses are beautiful. No lint...no water spots...no fingerprints. I'm actually going to pick up a couple more - just to have on hand. I can't get over how immaculate my glassware looks after using this! So while I realize there are many cheaper microfiber cloths available, you typically get that for which you pay. I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that many of the shoppers considering this purchase have Riedel glassware. If so, this cloth is most likely much less expensive than just one of your glasses - depending upon which line you own. If you don't own Riedel glassware, I would still recommend the cloth - as it really does a fantastic job.

Cleans glasses and stainless really well. I didn't not have the problem with the red ink bleeding like others when I cleaned it upon arrival. I tossed it in boiling water, let it dry, and it came out fine. My only complaint is that the material has a fair amount of friction and it does not "glide" along the glass. I use this cloth in one hand, and in the other hand I use a nice microfiber cloth. I hold and maneuver the glass with this cloth while keeping the microfiber cloth still. This does the initial drying on the microfiber. Once it is mostly dry I then use this cloth alone to do a final polish. Everything comes out looking nice.

I was getting really tired of my wine glasses having water spots after letting them dry. With this cloth, while the glasses are still wet, you wipe them down and they're sparkling clean. Important to know... use this only while the glasses are wet, not after they dry. If they're dry, wet them and then use the cloth. Also, never polish stemware while holding the stem... cradle the cup and polish that way.

Yo soy bastante fiel a la marca Riedel. Éste tipo de trapos para limpiar y secar copas de cristal fino, los utilizo desde hace ya varios años. Son bastante durables, y además se desempeñan excelentemente bien. El material es grueso, y bastante resistente. Tengo algunos de estos trapos que tienen casi 10 años siendo utilizados, y aunque no funcionan como nuevos, siguen sacando bastante bien, no tengo evidencia de que rayen el cristal. Además, el precio es más que bueno. Yo recomiendo mucho este tipo de trapos, para aquellos que tienen cristalería fina, y quieren conservarla limpia y brillante. Como siempre, es recomendable que después de lavar el cristal, y antes de que se seque el agua, se seque con este tipo de trapos, para que no se generen manchas de agua en los cristales. Funciona bastante bien tanto en las copas, como en los decantadores. Totalmente recomendable.

Certes, c'est loin d'être donné pour une microfibre. Mais, comparé à des microfibres moins chères, ça ne bouloche pas du tout. Et surtout, ça ne laisse aucune trace sur le verre, il n'y a pas besoin de repasser plusieurs fois pour avoir une résultat parfait, ça sèche très rapidement, idéal pour les verres fragiles. En blanc, ça prend les traces, mais c'est loin d'être dramatique.

The Perfect towels for cleaning the great Riesel glasses. Top quality and beyond any expectations

I used one of these at a cousin's for post-washing wine glass drying/polishing. It really works well and polishes to a great shine, so I bought one. Expensive - yes, but if you value a nice, clean finish on your glass/crystal, this cloth is worth it.

Va perfecto para pulir y secar copas de vino. No deja pelusas y deja un brillo perfecto.
