No doubt, just as (back in the days of cleaning regularly with detergent) I would pull out the heavy-duty cleanser on the stuck-on grime. But that doesn't mean I'd jump straight to the heavy-duty cleanser for every mess. Similarly, people shouldn't jump to microfiber+cleanser when microfiber+water will likely work.
My message was aimed at the millions of people (of whatever fraction of that read MRF) who seem to think that microfiber is useful only with special cleansers when, in fact, it's most useful as a product which can eliminate the need for even regular cleansers!

I challenge you to try it next time with only the microfiber and water. Jam is really just sugar and should be easily cleaned with the basics. Try it. I'll even bet a shiny quarter that it'll work just as well.
