In one embodiment, a mitt under the invention may be made of microfiber material, and may be defined by a hand-receiving section, a separate thumb-receiving section, a separate index-finger receiving section, and a separate three-finger receiving section. In another embodiment, a mitt under the invention may have an elastic section defining an opening in the mitt for insertion of a user's hand. In a further embodiment, for a method of using a mitt to clean under the invention, a microfiber mitt may be provided, a user may insert a hand into the mitt, and the mitt may be used to clean a surface. The microfiber material of the mitt may allow the surface to be dusted when the mitt is dry and/or cleaned when the mitt is damp.
