Avalon Towels Bar Towels Pack of 60 Size 14x17 Inches 100 Cotton Absorbent and Reusable Cleaning Rags Multipurpose

I bought these cloths to use in the kitchen to reduce use of paper towels. They aren’t perfect but they serve my needs and I am very pleased with them. When I received them I washed them separately from other laundry. Some of them ended up with some stray strings but they can easily be trimmed off. None unraveled or fell apart. In the dryer, I had to empty the lint filter a few times but I think that’s to be expected with any new cotton towels. They are thicker than I expected and I didn’t notice any shrinkage at all. The terry cloth is kind of rough but that’s fine with me because they’re very absorbent and that’s my most important criteria for kitchen towels. And there are a LOT of them. My photo shows one stack but there are two other stacks the same size that I already put away. I am giving these five stars because they are a great value and meet my needs exactly. Are they super high quality? No. Are they luxury linens to display in the guest bathroom? No. Would I use them as napkins for a fancy dinner? No. Are they super absorbent, the perfect size for what I need, affordable, are there enough of them to last at least a week without washing, and can I think of a million other uses for them around the house? Yep. 5 stars. Read more

These are a good price for what you get. Overall, they absorb really well and dry relatively fast. We have been using them to dry dishes and clean up our counters and it works really well for that. The only reason why I’m giving this a 4 star review instead of 5 is because some of the towels were already starting to fray a bit before even getting their first wash. After that, I’d say about every 2-3 towels per a 20 towel load became slightly frayed or a bit stringy. I’m not sure if it was just a quality control issue or what, but it is something I noticed. Other than that, these seem fine for what they are. One other thing to note, it might be a good idea to wash them at least twice before use. We don’t own a dryer so maybe that was part of the issue, but some of the towels gave off lint after the first wash when using them to dry dishes. After another wash though, it seemed fine.

Great value Read more

I had bought a cheaper bundle of shop rags and after one wash the rags were breaking apart. These cost me more than the shop rags, but these are able to be used dozens of times. I keep both Microfiber towels and cotton cloths and find them invaluable around the house, garage and patio. Read more

Bar towels were great and right on time Read more

Terrible towels! When they arrived, some had brown stains on the edges. Upon further inspection, some of them have what appears to be mold spot on them. I need them to make rally towels for this weekends tournament so I don’t have time to send them back as it took A week and a half to get them in. I decided to throw them in the wash and see what happens. It took 6 hours for them to dry completely in a year old dryer. When I would check them my dryer was filled with white cotton fuzzy material. I had to clean my lint trap multiple times as it was also clogging with this fuzz. After washing, the brown on the edge is gone but the spots are still in many of them. I now get to pick through the towels and choose the best ones and hopefully will have enough. Read more

Bought as a replacement for paper towels. They work ok but there’s noticeable shrinkage after the first wash. Also, they continuously shed so do not wash them with any color towels, or they will be inundated with white lint. Read more
