i still use scrim occasionally, are you using pure water to wash the scrim as i found it rotted very fast if using pure, as for microfibre i find the best i have used are fish scale microfibre from paragon i get them of ebay
better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove any doubt

When I was 100% trad I found the scrims that rotted were ones made of cotton.

The best scrim is made from hemp. The way to tell the difference is to try and rip the scrim when wet. Well used cotton tears quite easily. Hemp is stronger when wet than it is when dry and is very hard to rip.

Also, hemp scrims wear out, they don't rot.

I used to use scrim for the frames and microfibre for the glass and detailing. I tended to buy Unger microfibres as the quality was always good. The best place to buy any microfibre just requires a search of cleaning supply places via google.
Just chant..... Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. It's beats chanting Tory Tory or Labour Labour.

Thanks some good advice , no Trevor I just use normal water but what I put it down to is being water fed the scrim is lefed a while inbetween use so stays damp
