4.9 stars because I love these, but...

PROS: Very absorbent Versatile use - I mostly use for drying dishes, cleaning counters and handling small messes. I reserved one each for bathroom use and living room. They make great dusting pads in the living room. They hold up well in the washer the first couple of times. When they start to wear and "fuzz", I just use them for different things (not dishes) They are soft and don't have a weird texture in the hand - when wet or dry CONS: They do start to wear after a couple of washings and once they do, I'm not able to use them for everything. They easily attract lint and other "catchings" after they have been washed a couple of times. Once off the roll and used, I have to find a way to store them out of the way - and where they won't catch lint and fuzz. A baggie is the best way. No matter how clean they are after washing, they aren't very attractive-/sanitary-looking. One big thing that bothered me is the Rayon issue. I personally don't have a problem with the Rayon itself; I was annoyed that it seems someone went out of the way to hide the Rayon. For people who do care, I think the label should have more prominently displayed the notice about the Rayon.

High quality savin money (+the planet if you into that)

Most importantly: they stink fresh out the pack. Most people can probably tolerate it but my pregnant partner stopped using them until they got washed. The smell goes away after first wash and they come out the dryer extremely soft. Originally purchased for drying hands in the bathroom (got tired of the wet hand towel smell). Solid paper towels, very thick, like a blend of heavy duty paper towel + worn microfiber hand towel. 2-3 rolls should take care of a family for a year minimum. Price is great for frugal ones or those looking to stop throwin money away. Just bought 2more for the kitchen. Oh and theyre machine washable in case you missed that in the product title, answered questions and the beginning of this review. Peace

Great alternative to paper towel

I'm pretty much happy with these. I bought them 2 months ago and haven't thrown any away yet since they are so thick. Each piece gets washed probably twice a week. The only complaint I have is that things get caught in the fibers so sometimes I had to wash it multiple times. I suggest washing them in a hosiery bag.

Actually very durable

Thee towels arrived 3 days earlier than anticipated, and were well packaged--no dents or scratches even on the plastic wrap. I was kind of expecting these to rip or tear after a couple uses but I've used one about 5 different times now and it still holds! And, in full disclosure, I'm uneasy about putting them in the wash/dryer so I have just been washing them by hand. I'll update if I ever end up putting them in there, but I just can't see it working out too well regardless.

Perfect for diy wet wipes

These are just what I needed. I wanted to make my own wet wipes but paper paper towels were too flimsy so when I found these I hit the jack pot!! I cut them in half, put them in an empty wet wipe container, fan folded them to pop up just like the ones you would buy, poured the soap/water solution in and wallah diy wet wipes. Now I wipe my bathroom sink and put in a mesh bag to be washed it's perfect. They wash very nicely and air dry in a snap. Thank you so much for this product, they are saving me a bundle and the environment thanks you too!!!

The greatest thing since sliced bread!

I am such a fan of these bamboo towels. I purchased 6 rolls a year and a half ago (Dec 2014) and just came back and purchased 3 additional rolls to eventually replace the ones that have been permanently damaged from staining, worn from over use or accidentally thrown away. I have so many left from my original order that I haven't even opened the three packs I just purchased, to be honest, I just want them on hand in case more get thrown away. (I try to educate guests quickly, but some loss due to accidentally going into the garbage still happens.) I read all of the complaints for these towels and tried to address them before I bought them, to great success. As far as storage, I don't have a lot of drawer space in my kitchen, so I purchased a Sterilite just for these that sits on an easy to access shelf and don't really miss the old 'roll' of paper towels now that I'm used to going to the drawer. I also purchased a small office-style mesh trash can and mesh laundry bag to line it just for these towels. When I'm done with one, I simply throw it in the mini-laundry basket and wash when everything is dirty. I wash these on their own (no other laundry) on the 'sanitize' cycle and throw in a cup of bleach, for good measure. I use the 'extra rinse' feature and no fabric softener and they have held up to wash after wash. As far as durability, these towels are thick enough to wet and reuse several times, and I find that using them sanitize/bleach combination keeps them from developing any stains. I would say that 95% of the towels that I still have are as white as the day that I purchased them, and I use them for everything in the kitchen, so they get very dirty. Highly recommended!

Very pleased so far

Wow. I just used these for the first time to wash my windows. I get a lot of oily dirt from the road, and it usually smears around and gets stuck in whatever old washcloth or sock I am using. As soon as I dropped these in my bucket of soapy water and gave them a little scrub, the dirt lifted right out like magic. Next used them to clean crumbs and spills out of my fridge and freezer and same thing - they rinsed clean (almost clean) right away. There's some dirt still in them, but I'll put them through the wash next.

You Will Probably Love or Hate Them

These are hard to review. If you want what they do, then you will be happy. But, if you are expecting something else, you'll be disappointed. Here's what I mean: You can't think of these as paper towels. They are tougher, more absorbent, and not meant to be thrown out after one use. So, I wouldn't use these to clean up something really awful like cat vomit, wall paint, axle grease, etc. But, you also can't think of them as cloth towels or rags. They are not very large and are, therefore, less absorbent overall. And, although they are surprisingly durable, they obviously don't stand up like a cloth towel or rag. We use these bamboo towels, but still use paper towels when we just don't want to or can't wash out whatever we are cleaning up. We also use cloth towels and rags, where appropriate. We find that these are great for cleaning up water-based liquids. So, we wipe the counter, cleanup tea spills, dry vegetables after rinsing them ... that sort of thing. We tend to not use them to clean up oil spatters, peanut butter, etc. This is not because they can't do the job and they wouldn't wash out, but more because of the next point ... Paper towels are used and thrown away (composted, right?). Cloth towels are hung on the oven door until they need to go into the wash. But, these bamboo towels don't really work either way. You wouldn't want to throw them away after one use, nor would you really hang them up on your oven door or fridge handle So, you have to figure out what you will do with used towels to let them dry. You could use them, then throw them in the washing machine, but we tend to use them for several days before the really need to go into the Wash. So, we haven't really figured this out. Just think about that. But, even so, I think that anyone that uses paper towels should grab a roll of these as an alternative.

Environmentally friendly and saves money due to less waste!

I use a shameful amount of paper towels and these make feel so much less wasteful! I mostly use them to cover my cat’s food while I microwave it since I don’t want it splattering all over the microwave and my cat is extremely picky and will not eat cold food. These work great for that. I have a tiny little bin on my kitchen counter that I put the used ones in and then transfer to the laundry bin when full. I put them in the dryer even though it says not to, they are fine. They turn to more of a felt like texture after being washed and dried but still work great. Also I store the loose clean ones in an empty Kleenex box (long rectangular kind) by folding them the same way tissues are in a box. This is a nice way to dispense them once off the roll.

I'm a cleaner and I LOVE these a lot more than I thought!

I clean for a living so using these on the job as well as my home makes life much easier and I can feel better about not being so wasteful. I use them for drying my hands, cleaning the countertops, and as a reusable swiffer pad for floors. What I do is i mark each one with a sharpie. My first initial for hands and face at home, c for cleaning counters and f for floor. What i love about these the most is they dry a lot quicker than regular towels and washing them is super easy. Dirt and grime tends to just rinse right out. Even on the mop pads. It's incredible. Now i don't have to waste money buying the swiffer refills. These are different to use but it's worth figuring out what works for you!! A must buy for eco friendly cleaning!
