When I read the reviews that mentioned the cloths were dry, I thought the issue was that they had dried out. But now that I have purchased the cloths, I see that they are intentionally dry. It's a package of round, dry, thin cloth. Yes, they did remove dust and some fingerprints as claimed but this remark on the package was of concern to me: "The FastWipe may leave fine scratches on the surface of the disc. This will not affect the performance of the disc." I will not be buying these again because I would prefer to use a product that didn't scratch the disc and there are other lint free options that are less expensive, like a clean dish cloth, which you can dampen to remove heavier smudges and fingerprints.
