If I use a scrim for a sill towel I need more than one on big days or big jobs. With the PVA towel I can wring it out and it’s like starting w/ a new towel. It really cuts down on laundry and is the best sill tool a residential cleaner can ever use. Of course because it’s always damp the freezing temps mean I have to switch to using a dirty scrim as my sill rag for those times but we do much less work in those months so it’s OK.
Then we are not comparing apples to apples. If I did storefronts still I might have use for a sponge. Of course I’m a huge fan of the PVA towel and would probably use it instead.
When shopping for one of these towels, are they labeled PVA? What am I looking for?
I primarily use two different brands:
- the absorber by CleanTools, Inc. Made in Japan
- AQUADRY PVA Drying Towel by Calderon Textiles Made in China. They also have/had a Synthetic Drying Towel.
You’ll find PVA towels in auto parts store or departments with the detailing supplies (like chamois, etc.)
Thanks Larry
at walmart they have both the absorber and the aquadry in the automotive department. That’s where I got mine.
I bought my PVA towel at a auto parts store. I bet it will work great to dry my wet car. 
Like a chamois, huh Mike!? 
Good come back! LOL
Thanks for the tip, Tony. I’ll try to find some today.
Old post I know. Used a sea sponge but the other day grabbed the weirdest looking foam thing/sponge. Looks like an 18 sided D & D dice. It is used to put in pool skimmer to remove oils from water? I somehow grabbed it while doing my pool and ended up in car. Started playing with it. Did a few windows. It is like a foam rubber squeegee. Will try tomorrow at a ccu. Seems to detail edges pretty well. Who knows, maybe it will work. Tried a sponge but sort of like using a wet huck to detail. Logic tells me dry material not moist or squeegee moisture off. The sea sponges work well on sills gotta say that.
