I'm so glad to know that. I used to buy diapers to use as dishcloths but it got to be almost impossible to find them unhemmed so I started buying microfiber cloths. Microfiber is great but there is nothing like diaper cloth to get a shiny non-streak finish glass. I found it on Amazon without a problem. Thanks for a great tip. Oh, and they also had diaper flannel by the yard.
