Navaris Reusable Paper Towels - 10 Pack Washable Kitchen Towels with 2 Bonus Sponges | 100% Cotton Eco-Friendly Cloth (10x10 Inches, Gray Check Pattern) | Perfect for Cleaning, Dish Drying & Sustainable Home Use

We've been using these set of cleaning cloths and sponges from Navaris for close to a month and now have been very satisfied with their utility and performance so farLIKES- They are made a 100% cotton fabric and are thin and absorbent- This means that they are the perfect substitute for paper towels as they are as thin and absorbent but much more sustainable as they are resusable and washable- They are completely non-streaking or staining which means they are great for clean glassware, windows , stainless steel refrigerators, tabletops and countertops without scratching them- They are colorfast , i.e they do not bleed colors even after repeated use- The sponges is great for applying cleaning solutions/sprays to surfaces and gently scrub themDISLIKES- They are a bit expensive for the size and quantity you getFINAL THOUGHTSOverall this is a great 100% cotton resuable cloth set that not only replaces paper towels but also much better in performance in cleaning multiple surfaces around the home .. esp glass and stainless steel appliances.These cloths are 10" x 10", thin lightweight, and surprisingly super absorbent. Rinses well, dries very quickly (which I like a lot over all other washcloths--totally grosses me out when they dont dry between uses). I'll never roll them onto a paper towel holder, but I will keep them in a pile on my counter. Actually, these will be going into my cloth napkin box, as these are a perfect size for grabbing for use along side a meal.The little sponges are so soft and cozy feeling that I initially didnt want to dirty them up. They are like little pillows. They're ok. Soft on one side, and then has a mesh netting on other to provide a very light scrub ability. I've used one. Kind of tempted to use the other one on face as these are really gentle sponges.These are not preshrunk, so expect them to reduce in size a little. Again, take note that these measure 10"x 10". You can reduce shrinking by washing cold, and not drying on high temps. It is recommended to wash first prior to use. Also, washing first will help soften these up and increase absorbency. Dont use fabric softener (I never use fabric softener on kitchen towels, cleaning rags, anything I want to be able to effectively mop up moisture- fabric softener of any style reduces that ability).I dont rate on price, but I comment. I think they are reasonably priced compared to so many other offerings. I think it comes down to what size you need. I like this size for a quick wipe down or as use as a napkin.These reusable paper towels work really well. We washed them before first use and noticed some shrinking. They are very thin and size was a little smaller than expected as they are about the size of a small face cloth. Surprisingly though they were quite absorbent. We keep them in a basket near the sink and toss them into the wash along with all our other kitchen towels and they have been really great in reducing waste.As to the sponges, I was a little skeptical about the sponges working as it looks like it is just fleece material. Surprisingly the fleece helps sweep up crumbs and stuff off the table. The other side has a little bit of a scrubby mesh that helps scrub off stuff off the counter tops.Overall this set of towels and sponges worked really better than I had expected them to. I just wish they sold the towels in bulk without the sponges as we could completely do away with paper towels if we just had more of the towels.Review For:Navaris Reusable Paper Towels (Set of 10 Towels + 2 Sponges)These are so nice to have on hand. I have eliminated 90% of my use of paper towels by substituting thin absorbent rags like these. They hold up really well and are easy to throw in with another load of laundry. The stitching is well done so they should hold up for a long time!
