I use microfibre cloths (60x80cm) not the small 40x40cm. For me they're the best.

been trying to work this one out myself as even though wfp i still do some downstairs trad.

stockinette cloth the stuff you get on a roll to polish your car with's quit good.
get a roll for a fiver cut into whatever size you like.

i like the idea of something u can just thow away as long as it works out cheap enough.
have used scrims and microfibre to wipe over frames and ledges but they get soaked and they stink! you've then got to put them in the washing machine :o.

i have a window cleaning supplies shop and my customers think that a towling type microfibre cloth is fantastic for sills and frames and when i first introduced them i could not meet the demand and their cheap at £18 for 20

Towels cut up into squares about 8" x 8".

I use these to detail with too, even if some might think its bodging, cant get used to scrim (too big) cant get used to micro-fibre (too soft).

I WOULD use scrim if I could find someone to sew the edges for me after cutting them into quarters, but not for sills, I'd detail with scrim and mop up with towels.

NOTHING is too tatty for wiping sills. Cut up old shirts, tee shirts, trousers, Chelsea football shirts, rags, anything. Don't BUY cloths to wipe sills.
