I am telling all my young mothers to use these bamboo towels. I cut mine into 4 inc squares to use for cleaning a wound. Throw them in a Mason jar of disinfectant the wash and reuse. Now I use them for face cleansing and I'm trying out soaking the raggedy ones in vinegar and rinsing to make my own stationeryI purchased these “un” paper towels over a year ago and I’m still using the six sheets that I pulled off. They are amazing!! They are so strong but so soft. My 7 year old grandson lives with me and he has Autism and doesn’t talk. His favorite food is canned raviolis. Gross! He does not use silverware so he is covered head to toe with the red sauce. We were using paper towels to clean him up but he hated how they felt on his face so he would fight us. Now I use this product and he stands still and enjoys the attention. The poor towel is completely stained when I’m done cleaning him. I spray Clorox on it, let it sit for a few minutes, rinse it, and throw it in the washing machine. And presto! Good as new.I recommend this product to everyone. If people stopped buying paper towels there would be a lot less waste in our landfills. And when the towels finally give out I will put it in my compost bin.Thank you for a great product.They shrink a little after laundering, but are very fluffy afterwards.So, I don't know EXACTLY what I was expecting, but for $20+ dollars for paper towel, IDK... "Meh?" is maybe my best review. I DO NOT see these holding up in a washing machine. I'm just saying... I'll be hand washing these myself. I definitely don't see them lasting a year though. Just my opinion (in pics, my hand is there for reference - these rolls are tiny and that single towel had been gently hand-washed once after a single use, wiping up a cutting board after chopping veggies. No tomatoes were harmed in this process so I can't speak as to how these will hold up against stains thus far lol). I'm much happier just purchasing a crap-ton of bar towels ?‍♀️ I probably won't be purchasing this again. I so love the concept though.Update... I may have been a little hasty in my review. I have used the same few paper towels now (hand washing after each use with anti bacterial soap and/or dawn for greasy things) for a few days now. They are holding up! They dry A LOT quicker than a towel would and where I feared that the fibers would cling to things "picked up", it's really not. I'm actually a convert on this one. These seem to be doing a great job, and they are usable for things I wouldn't want to use a towel for (I used one for draining grease from fried potatoes! Hand washed with dawn and it's back to new!). I may go ahead and try machine washing these... Will update again with results.It took me about a week or so to start using these bamboo paper towels due to just trying to figure out...WHAT TO USE THEM FOR??‍♀??I decided to turn the livingroom around, so I used 3 of the paper towels for wiping down dust-filled surfaces....Of course, I wet the paper towels first!I started with just 1 towel, then after about 8 rinses, I decided to use 2 more towels to assist in the completion of the room....I wiped away dust off the back of the mounted TV(let's just say, it hadn't been done in a while...NO JUDGING?)I wiped dust off the bench & tables on which I keep my plants when indoors, during the winter season.... I even wiped around the wooden poles, the walls & even the backs of my leather sofas.These things are really thick!*I Hand Washed.....Hung them over the sink on the dish drying hooks*After 3 soap washes & over 18-20 rinses each, that's how they now look(crumpled pics).Thumbs Up for durability!You can however, compare these to those knitted/crocheted winter sweaters that eventually get lint-balls.... I attribute this only to the towels constant interaction to the dust. Bare in mind that at the first 3/4 rinses, the dust was clumping together & easily slid off the towels while under running water!I really like this paper towel!Next Use????????Family needs to be educated on the reuse process before Family-Public-Use!!!They are reusable and saves moneyThis is amazing. A never ending paper towel, I use each one hundreds, possibly thousands of times, use wash and reuse. I keep one for each different task, one for the countertop, one for the floor spills, one for the car, etc. and since you keep washing them they will never run out! I still have the 2 rolls basically full. This will last me until the apocalypseLike that you can wash them in sink and reuse them. Do a nice job with spills
