There’s different types of microfiber cloths. The ones you’re thinking of are generally used for cleaning glasses or phone screens. There’s others that have a more carpety texture that are often used for dusting or cleaning larger objects.
Thanks for pointing this out. The entire comment section is devolving into discussion about neurodivergence and moisturizer when it’s a huge difference in the two types of microfiber cloths, and one of them grasps little bits of your skin
Is that usable for dusting then, or is that for something else? I feel like for dusting, you want a somewhat rougher structure, so it can hold the dust better…
They’ve all come with glasses or other glass lensed items, and I use them more for removing smudges than dust. But that’s why it has two sides. It doesn’t need to be rough, it just needs a lot of surface area. The suede-like side provides that, but even my dry-ass hands don’t get that funky Velcro feeling rubbing against it.
I have some like that I use as dish towels. And yeah, those definitely feel like velcro. I guees I’ve just never heard these ones called microfiber before.
That’s a crap microfiber cloth if it feels like velcro. All mine feel almost as smooth as silk on one side, and soft suede on the other.

The grabbier one still feels pretty smooth unless your skin is really dry. The smoother one feels smooth even if your skin is dry.
Then you have some smooth hands.
Moisturizer my dude.
Even with moisturizer working with screws and stuff with your hands you get velcro fingers

As far as I’m aware, the microfiber cloths specifically made for dusting have a structure like this:
So, it isn’t (intentionally) rough either. You wouldn’t really scrub with these. But yeah, certainly not ever going to be silky smooth either…
