If you’re thinking these are just expensive paper towels, think again. Yes they can be easily disposed of like paper towels. But…they can be used over and over before wearing out to the point of disposal. And for that they can be composted or burned rather than sent to the landfill. They get softer and more absorbent with each use. Here’s how I use them: first use straight from the roll is dish cloth for hand washing dishes. Then wiping down the kitchen surfaces then into the wash. Softer and more absorbent now, and I use them on the tub and vanity, woodwork, etc. I haven’t tried them on glass to see if they’re lint-free enough. But gradually between usage and laundering they wear down into more hole than cloth. Then you can dispose of ecologically. So, in the end, much more cost-effective than paper towels (which I still find have their place, too). And sometimes there’s a mess so bad that you don’t even want to try to save the cleaning cloth (three dogs, one who’s elderly, and a cat…) but you want something a little more substantial than paper towel. This will be your go-to for that.These absorbent towels help to reduce the number of paper towels I use on a daily basis. They can be rewashed and reused. Love it.These are awesome! My only complaint is that they look like regular paper towels and my family keeps throwing them away. Wish they came in another color or something so my kids and elderly mother would stop throwing them away after using them because they can't remember which paper towel roll they grabbed from. A logo on them, another color, a pattern... Goodness... This product would be so much more worth it if they didn't get thrown away.Great towels otherwise though. No more water marks on faucets, great product - just some advice for a great product that could be so much better.I would not call these towels multipurpose. They are definitely light use, and zero use for actual cleaning. You need a space to hang them to dry (after rinsing) between spills so... it gets ugly. When dry they are smooth and super absorbent. When wet they're soft and limp like very thin cloth diaper material. Way too soft to scrub anything so if you're used to some sort of scrubby paper towel this ain't it. You'll want to use these similar to a smooth cotton tea towel in the kitchen, for absorbing spillage. Although these are much more absorbent.They will pick up crumbs/coffee grounds if already damp and pretty easy to shake off into the trash. I love them as I use them solely for wet spills like coffee, water, juice, and to catch water from washing dishes (air dry drainer). I still prefer paper or a sponge for oily messes because it is easier to throw away paper or hand-wash a sturdy sponge than to hand-wash these towels.I noticed that people are saying after they wash them in the machine that they're full of holes. They're not woven like fabric. Any kind of repeated stress (like scrubbing or machine agitation) will create a hole. The bag that comes with them can only handle around 10-15 cloths. Otherwise they can't move freely enough to get truly clean. I pretty much rinse/wash them immediately at the sink like I would a regular cloth, hang to dry, then run a pile through the machine on gentle for sanitization.It’s great in the beginning when it’s new, but when you wash them, things start getting more complicated. Understandably so because it’s re-usable, but for me I was looking to a way to replace paper towels and unfortunately this won’t do it. Some of these towels I use to wipe fruits and veggies and food, some I use to clean the counter along with a spray. And after seeing it come out of the wash for the first time, suddenly I’m not sure if it’s clean enough for some purposes. That said, could be because I put it in the bag that came with it.I experimented by putting some freely in the wash and some in the bag just to see if they would keep their integrity, and they did, without the bag. When it is in the bag, it crumpled up and I don’t know if the wash is really cleaning them like intended, especially because the ones in the bag come out a little damp still, with bits of debris still stuck on them. Next time I’m going to just load them in the wash without the bag.The other thing — it’s great on a roll. But after that you have to figure out how to keep them. So it loses the convenience appeal of paper towels.It still is a nice thing to have around the house though, and overall lessens the amount of paper towels one would typically use.My favorite way to use them is to wipe the counters with after cooking when I’m cleaning.This product just came. Was sold as a combo with the bag but the bag didnt came.Super absorbent, soft, cleans with or without water. Reusable and the size of roll is bigThis is by far THE BEST reusable paper towels I have ever used! My family and I have been increasingly aware of how much waste we create, and had decided to live a more sustainable lifestyle. I have tried a lot of bamboo paper towels, but this one my Anjia is by far the best! It is ridiculously strong, just one towel will seriously last you weeks and I love that you can wash it! Even when you wash it, it does not loose its softness. The durability and absorbency is far better than regular paper towels.I live in a house with 6 boys, 1 cat and 1 dog. You can only imagine how crazy dirty the house can get. We used to go through paper towel rolls like crazy, and I always felt guilty throwing it out after one use. I’m surprised more people haven’t switched over to bamboo towels.I also sometimes use this to remove my makeup! It’s so gentle that it actually is perfect to even use on my face! Absolutely love this Anjia product and how they created this to help us move towards a more sustainable lifestyle.
