For sheer grime-shifting performance - wet or dry - this was the only traditional material mitt that got anywhere near the microfibre products. And there's a scrubbing gauze on the rear for tackling any stains the lambswool can't budge. Ultimately, though, the results weren't quite as good as those of the microfibres, and the price is significantly dearer than most of them. And again, we didn't like the loose fit.
