> 24 hourWe are an eco-friendly household so we need something that will quickly pick up messes without having to use paper towels. There bamboo reusable towels feel thicker than ordinary paper towels and pick up a lot more mess with a lot less work. They definitely absorb much more than ordinary paper towels and do not fall apart when you rinse and wring them out. Unfortunately, when they are dry, they do have a more scratchy feel but do soften up as soon as they pick up any moisture. I also do not see how these 40 sheets can last 6 months, as they do pick up odor from the kitchen. I feel like we go through 2 sheets a week (as opposed to going through 1 roll of paper towels a week, like we used to).

> 24 hourI am very impressed with these reusable bamboo paper towels. They hold up well and clean well, too. We use quite a few paper towels in our home and this has been a huge money saver! I think I will continue to use reusable paper towels from here on out.

> 24 hourI have used paper towels like these before and always liked that they are so durable and sturdy, great for the planet in the long run. These are pretty much paper towels that are very hard to rip and tear, making it washable and reusable. I usually just rinse and wash with dish soap or hand soap. This is eco friendly in that sense. It is made from bamboo which is renewable as they grow pretty quickly. You can pretty much use it until you think they are too grimy and gross. I like to dry my wet but clean hands with these because I get quite a lot of uses out of it. Prior to getting this I found myself going through rolls of paper towels very quickly, as I would just get a new sheet every time after I wash my hands. I dont like to the kitchen towels because sometimes ill use it to wipe oil from my hands while Im cooking, so it isnt exactly clean. If one sheet is too thin for your liking just stack up a few sheets to give it a thicker feel. Do not flush these as they are hard to break down, even if they are biodegradable. There are so many uses for these, not just for the kitchen area. I usually let them air dry until the next time I need to wipe my hands. This is great for anyone that likes eco friendlier options and want to do their part in cutting down the waste they create on a daily basis. It also isnt ridiculously expensive, so youre not having to break the bank trying to be eco conscious.

> 24 hourI like these KitchLife Reusable Bamboo Paper Towels. They came on a roll that did fit my regular stand-on-the-counter dispenser, even though it was a tighter fit than my regular brand that rhymes with county. Anyway, the roll was also shrink-wrapped in plastic and in a cardboard box. These bamboo cloths are soft enough that I dont worry about them scratching anything, but tough enough that I cant just rip them apart. Very sturdy. These work well for my preferred uses, which are to wash dishes with, and to keep the fridge water/ice dispenser mess under control. The directions on the box say these can be washed (separately, gently, and for 15 minutes or less) in the washing machine, but I just rinse/wash my by hand.

> 24 hourA great way of being conservative with how much trash you might be generating. These bamboo towels are quite sturdy and hold up to a whole lot of use. I do however suggest that you try to air dry them fully opened between uses if you can. They can hold water and start smelling if bunched up. Allowing to fully air dry, maybe with a drying rack, will greatly extend the life of these towels. They are really strong and will have a long life to them if cared for properly. Also excellent to use for heavy duty cleaning.

> 24 hourThis is a small roll of reusable bamboo paper towels, that feel obviously thicker than ordinary paper towels. They are stiff and kind of scratchy when dry, but soften up as soon as they get wet. They are very absorbent and don’t fall apart when you rinse them and reuse them repeatedly. But like sponges or dishrags, I wouldn’t use the same one in the kitchen on multiples days due to bacteria, unless I washed them in the washing machine. You could certainly keep using one paper towel while cooking or cleaning up after a meal without replacing it with multiple paper towels. Should be a good product for me because I seem to go through many paper towels in a day.

> 24 hourI like these KitchLIfe reusable bamboo paper towels. This is my second roll from this brand. I can use one sheet for over a week for my counters and table, I just kill off any bacteria by popping it in the microwave for a minute. It stands up to a variety of detergents. Ive used it with castile soap, Lysol as well as rubbing alcohol without any issue. The size is a little bigger than select-a-size paper towels (see pic for comparison) and the pumpkin color is very bright and cheerful. And of course, reusing these makes them better for the environment than regular single use wood pulp towels!

> 24 hourThese paper towels are actually much better than I was expecting. They’re textured and absorb water pretty well. They’re made out of very strong paper that does not tear easily. I love that they can be rinsed and reused. They’re thin so they dry fast. Perfect to use around the kitchen to clean up messes.
