Jinkies: Wonderfully Wacky Microfiber Cloth That Actually Makes Cleaning Glasses Fun

What Are Jinkies?

Jinkies are Nerdwax’s custom-made microfiber cleaning cloths designed for cleaning glasses, screens, and lenses without scratching or smearing.

Each Jinkies cloth is:

  • Made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials

  • Constructed using high-quality microfiber

  • Designed to be safe for eyeglasses, sunglasses, camera lenses, and screens

Jinkies combine practical cleaning performance with designs that do not take themselves too seriously.


What Are Jinkies Made Of?

Jinkies microfiber cloths are made from premium microfiber fabric created entirely from post-consumer recycled materials.

Material details:

  • 100% recycled microfiber

  • Soft, lint-free, and non-abrasive

  • Designed to lift oils, fingerprints, and dust without chemicals

Using recycled materials reduces waste while still delivering the performance expected from a high-quality microfiber cleaning cloth.


What Can You Use Jinkies For?

Jinkies are designed for more than just eyeglasses.

Common uses include:

  • Cleaning eyeglasses and sunglasses

  • Wiping phone and tablet screens

  • Cleaning laptop displays

  • Polishing camera lenses

  • Removing smudges from smartwatches and other screens

Jinkies are safe for any surface that requires a gentle, non-scratch cleaning cloth.


Why Are Jinkies Different From Other Microfiber Cloths?

Most microfiber cloths are purely utilitarian. Jinkies are intentionally not.

What makes Jinkies different:

  • Hundreds of quirky, fun designs

  • Seasonal designs

  • Designed to be visible, not hidden in a drawer

  • Made with the same quality standards Nerdwax applies to all products

A cleaning cloth you actually like is one you are more likely to carry and use.


Fan-Suggested Designs (Yes, Really)

Many Jinkies designs come directly from the Nerdwax community.

We regularly:

  • Accept fan-submitted design ideas

  • Turn popular suggestions into real products

  • Release new designs based on customer feedback

This makes Jinkies a collaborative product, not just a cleaning accessory.


How to Care for Your Jinkies Microfiber Cloth

To keep your Jinkies performing at their best:

  • Hand wash with warm soapy water

  • Avoid fabric softeners (they reduce microfiber effectiveness)

  • Air dry

  • Do not iron

Proper care helps maintain cleaning performance over time.


Are Jinkies Eco-Friendly?

Yes.

Jinkies are made from 100% post-consumer recycled materials, reducing the demand for virgin plastics while extending the life of existing materials. They are designed to be reusable and long-lasting, helping cut down on disposable wipes and paper products.
