Test result preview
The Shiny drying cloth from the Verabella brand is supplied in a pack of 2 . Thanks to the twisted microfibers that absorb water and dirt, it leaves surfaces clean and gives the shower wall a beautiful shine. The XXL drying cloth measures 60 × 40 cm and delivers a radiant result, leaving no lint or streaks on the surface. The product is also convincing in terms of hygiene – it can be washed in the washing machine . The dryer sheet feels pleasantly thick and the seams are also perfectly finished. It is kept in a very dark blue, with the turquoise color of the seams providing a pleasant contrast for the eye. There is also a practical hook on the edge of the scarf for hanging it up. In the practical test, the product impressed with its very simple and effective application. The dirt was properly attracted when driving over the surfaces and cleaning was very successful. The company’s quality promise should also be positively emphasized – if the buyer is not satisfied with the product, a replacement will be provided. The fact that the product is supplied in a 2-pack is also very well thought out – this means that one cloth can always be washed and dried at leisure while the other cloth is actively used for cleaning. Overall, this is a very high-quality product, the only thing that could be improved is the packaging, which could be a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic film.
Advantages
- twisted microfibers for shiny surfaces
- Leaves neither lint nor streaks

As soon as you unpack it, you can see that the shower enclosure towel has soft fibers and has been manufactured with care. The product is delivered in a sturdy cardboard box and is wrapped in plastic film. Plastic packaging is necessary due to the nature of the product, but it could be considered in the future whether there is a biodegradable alternative for the film. Instructions for use are not included with the product, but are not required. A positive feature is the QR code on the film, which contains product and washing instructions for the shower enclosure towel.

When you pick up the shower cabin towels for the first time, you immediately notice the flawless finish . The microfibers are soft to the touch and at the same time firmly anchored; there is no fluffing to be seen. The thickness of the fabric is also appropriate and the product has a generally stable and high-quality appearance. The simple design of the shower enclosure towel is also impressive: the grey-blue main color, ocean blue, is slightly reminiscent of anthracite, while the neatly finished seams are turquoise. The towel has a non-slip, high-quality feel and also has a loop for hanging on a bath hook. All in all, it appears to be a high-quality product that is completely convincing in terms of quality and design.

The shower cubicle cleaning cloth can be used immediately after unpacking. It cleans efficiently and you can easily reach all corners of the shower with the cloth. The twisted microfibers on the surface of the cloth enable high absorption power, so that the moisture on the shower wall is absorbed very quickly. Due to the nature of the cloth, it is possible to clean the shower 100% scratch- and lint-free in a very short time. If you glide the cloth quicklyover the surfaces, the dirt and moisture are absorbed immediately. The cloth is chemical-free and enables gentle cleaning without the addition of harmful substances. Another positive aspect is that the cloth is machine washable and, according to the seller, can even be washed hundreds of times without any problems. It can therefore be assumed that this is a durable product that can be used intensively over a longer period of time. The cleaning cloth smells “new”, but this is not an unpleasant or artificial smell that would indicate an inferior product. The Austrian company gives the buyer a quality promise – if is not 100% satisfied, the product will be replaced. All in all, it is a very high-quality product that can even be used to clean faster and more efficiently than a squeegee.
