Super Absorbent Chamois | Shammy Cloths
Leather Chamois | Microfiber

While there are many types of cleaning products on the market, we feel our Absorbent Synthetic Chamois / Shammy Cloths are the best! We found a confusing array of different cleaning cloths available with various features. So we researched them and would like to share our results with you.

The original Leather Chamois are great drying a car off, but dry stiff and can't be used for waxing or other household cleaning. They are also costly.

There is a product called "Miracle Cloth" that is made of woven cotton infused with polishing compounds. These do a good job shining up metal. If washed, the polish is removed. They also can not be cut to size or they will ravel.

Many use the term "Microfiber", not all are. The " microfiber " label is used because it's popular. True microfiber is made of polyester(70-80%) and nylon polymide(30-20%). The fibers are split to make them microscopically thin(0.01-0.02 denier). This makes them very absorbent. Some cheap Microfiber is not split, or not split to as fine a denier. We found that these shed and left "lint" on windows and counters. (Flat woven, non-split poly-nylon fabric is water repelant and used for rain gear!) Microfiber is always woven or knit (so it will ravel), and available in several textures, most of which say they scrub and so tell you not to use it on " delicate " surfaces such as: Granite, Marble, or Polished metals.(The less dense the fabric, the more it will scratch.We tried one in our kitchen and it left our hands very rough and dry!) So what would it do to your car's finish? They also sell a different texture and size (since you can't cut it) of microfiber cloth for every use. So you need one to do your windows, one for your car, one for your kitchen, one to do your dusting, well you get the idea, $$$$$$$$$$. Can you remember which one to use where?

The Super Absorbent Synthetic Chamois / Shammy is non-woven and made of air-spun viscose. This German high tech process creates thousands of microscopic pores which quickly absorb and hold liquids many times it's own weight. The Synthetic Chamois / Shammy cloth is sturdy, dries soft and will not scratch ANY surface. You can use your favorite cleaner without damaging your Shammy. It can also be sanitized. Because it is non-woven you can cut it to fit any size job, it will never ravel. The Synthetic Chamois can be machine washed over and over again for long use, thus saving you money. Groomers love our Chamois for pet grooming, and if you have seen Amos on our home page (at the bottom), you can see dogs love them too!
