Tadgh, you never seem to promote the large waffle cloth which i thought was much better for detailing, and as a general window cleaning cloth ?
The title little waffle cloths; does not mean the size of the cloths!
It indicates the size of the weave.

Me being in possesion of both little waffle cloth and large waffle cloth  knows this fact Bill.

  Okay i will take the rap for not explaining this properly, Yes Bill is right little waffle weave indicates the size of the weave on the cloth, first developed by Korean producers the huge amount of little waffle weaves on these cloths act like thousands of tiny little applicators and squeegees to produce a very effective cleaning performance on glass or mirror surfaces, and without having to use any sprays or chemicals.
One of the problems with using traditional type glass and mirror cleaners is that they are derived from isopropyl alcohol,ammonia,solvents,etc, and therefore can leave a greasy film behind on glass and mirror surfaces, the more  times these traditional type glass and mirror cleaners are used to clean glass and mirror surfaces the heavier these greasy/oily residues will build up on the glass and mirror surfaces.
This is really where little waffle weave glass cloths come into their own as they were developed specifically for cleaning glass and mirror surfaces without having to use any cleaning chemicals but with just using plain tap water. Its said that if a surface is deemed to be clean there should be no SSR's (Streaks,Smears,Residues,) left behind on the just cleaned surface.
One awkward surface to achieve a finish free of SSR's is glass and mirrors, but with the development of little waffle weave microfiber cloths there is an effective solution.
Just use one little waffle weave cloth lightly damp with water to clean the surface and then use a second little waffle weave cloth dry to polish off and achieve a finish free of SSR's. Tadgh

Just to add while little waffle weave glass cloths are great for cleaning and maintaining glass surfaces especially on internals as we all know its not practical to clean outsides using cloths, if you come across internals where the customer has been using traditional type glass and mirror cleaners and there is a heavy build up of greasy/oily residues on the surface, the most effective solution we have come across is  to use a micro-cleaning/magic eraser pad dampened with water to deep clean and remove these greasy/oily residues first Then use a lightly damp little waffle weave cloth to wipe the surface and finally polish off with a dry little waffle cloth to achieve a perfect finish, of course you need to explain to your custy the reasons for the extra work you needed to carryout and charge accordingly.

Tadgh.
I favour the larger cloth for use with my indoor cleaning kit.
They cover the applicator better than the small cloths.
I use the small cloths, for detailing when using the squeegee.

Cheers Bill, yes most of our clients find the larger size cloth to be a good all rounder and especially when they are using them for internals. Tadgh
