Microfiber
Zothen
Anything mirofibre is the way to go. I have gotten in the habit of using two towels, one for the ball and the other I keep on the floor near the ball return to wipe my sliding shoe. A habit i picked up from bowling the lanes on the weekends. Lots of kiddie parties means dirty approaches and even dirty area behind the scoring machine as well. Give a wipe, clean the ball, step up to the appoach, go.
Of course if you happen to only have an old dish rag around it would not be disqulified as a ball cloth either. Whatever get excess oil off the ball.
I live by three simples rules:
1. Don't ever ask about my business
2. Never discuss business at the table
3. Don't ever side with anyone against the family

Definitely microfiber - better at cleaning than terry cloth, especially with the few swipes most people give a ball.
I pick up a couple each dollar store visit, who cares if you lose one or forget it? I wash or replace mine every 3 games...no point wiping if you're putting the grime and oil back into the ball.
I typically carry 3 each week - two for cleaning, one for the end of the night when the alcohol/simple green comes out. I always buy pastel ones, cause they show the dirt better and they make my eyes look prettier.
