These cloths are durable and great for daily kitchen use! Once wet the towels down they absorb and soft, scrub dishes and countertops perfectly. Highly recommend!These are the most absorbent dish towels EVER. They leave no lint and you get a lot to the pack. That was the good. The bad is that once they get wet they take a while to dry. The ugly is YOU CANNOT wash them. The edges come apart, they shrink and look horrible afterwards. I used cold wash and hand wash cycle too.I have been using these recently, after years of using a dish sponge. I was never thrilled with my sponges since they start to smell after a day or so (especially since it is summertime). So, they are always being rotated out. I found these dishrags and decided to try them out. I have been happy with them so far. They are very strongly made and have two sides. Colored side is softer and the white side has some more scrub-ability. I tried it out on glassware to pots and it seemed to work great. There are 6 in a package so it is easy to rotate them out when they wear. I didn't try it out as a hot pad as in the photos, but I do think that they are thick enough that it would work, too. They were absorbent, as advertised. Came in 3 colors and the pink/blue ones are cheerful to look at when washing dishes. Good product!!!These work great. I had a sink full of dishes when they arrived. I tried one out and it's the best I have found in a long time. I would purchase these again.These work great!
