Just a thought for those with smelly microfiber cloths. I assume this

Why do microfiber cloths sometimes smell?
Microfiber cloths may smell if the proper care instructions are not
followed or if the water in your home or office is hard and high in
mineral content. Only use environmentally friendly soaps without
fillers when you are laundering to prevent the microfiber pores from
being clogged and causing odour. If your cloths smell we recommend
trying one of the following suggestions: washing them in hot water,
soaking overnight in Norwex Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent and
washing in hot water, or boiling for 10 minutes to remove any build-up
on the fibers.
Jaxi,
Thanks! That may be the answer.......we do have very hard water and my
cloths may be getting "clogged pores" now you mention it because despite
laundering they do get rough and coarse feeling over time. And the worst
ones for developing odor are the ones that get the roughest. I think I
will try boiling them..........my only caveat is I'd still think the
same thing would happen to my kitchen sponges, but the microfibers pores
are much smaller than the pores in kitchen sponges, so maybe the sponges
rinse out a magnitude better and don't hold onto the minerals in the
same way (speculating). If the smell is caused by minerals, it would
make sense that CS doesn't stop it I think.
