Perfect for replacing paper towels!
Bought these to replace the immense amount of paper towels we go through as a household. They are excellent for cleaning up messes both large and small. Yes, they do curl up in the dryer, but considering they are cleaning cloths I can't possibly imagine why that has so many people upset. They're not wall hanging tapestries, just throw them in your rag bin and be done with it. We have 2 dogs and as such we get a lot of crap in our washing machine such as leaf debris, and various other items of unknown origin and yes, they do stick to these rags when I wash and dry them but again, as long as I can wipe down a sink with them or clean my stovetop I am happy. They are definitely not scrubby but I didn't expect them to be. Just use a little elbow grease and some cleanser and you'll get it! I read other reviews saying they stained easily which I have not experienced. My friend's girlfriend spilled buffalo chicken dip in her car and used a handful of these to clean it and then they sat, unnoticed, in the garage for a couple days, really letting that buffalo sauce soak in and I washed them as normal as the dip came right out, no staining. I am definitely a convert and you can't beat the low price considering how much our paper towel usage has dropped! EDIT: I have owned these for over a year now and my opinion has not changed. We have found additional uses such as: wiping down phone screens, cleaning eyeglasses, and cleaning baseboards. I will note that they have a tendency to go missing. People use them to clean icky things and sometimes I’d rather throw them away than subject my washing machine to that. But the cost is so reasonable I’m okay tossing a few in the trash. We are down to less than half left and I am re-ordering them currently. I would advise: do not dry them with dryer sheets. I pulled out the yellow ones to use back when I was still using dryer sheets and the dryer sheets left a film on them, making them not very obsorbent. Shortly thereafter I made my own dryer balls and have not had that problem with the rest of them. I tossed all the yellow ones due to the filmy coating. If you’re on the fence- go buy them. Take away all paper towels for a week and put these in their place. The whole house will convert and will love them. Read more
