removed almost all my makeup and came out clean in laundry [SEP] these microfiber cloths are very soft to use them you just rinse them under warm water and then wipe off your makeup you can use cold water but i think warm water is better it does a good job of removing makeup it even removed hour makeup it is not a substitute for using cleansers though it just wipes off surface makeup my mascara and other eye makeup remained on the coath and did not wash out with water however it did wash out and the cloth was completely clean when it came out of the laundryi used one side of the cloth one day and the other the next i did not use it more than that because i did not want any old makeup transferoverall they work well and are eco friendlyi did use a coupon to purchase this
