The Useless Brand Reusable Paper Towels Roll | Washable Cotton Flannel Sheets w/Cardboard Roll | Fits on Most Holders (Lemons, 12 Towels)

These are such a good value for the money! Great quality, work beautifully, super soft & I adore this lemon print! Super soft too, these would be great for cleaning faces or, uh, "other" areas. ;o) They are the right size & work great for cleaning up around the kitchen - my first application. Now that I've tested them out, I'm going to get more in other patterns so that we have a kitchen cleaning set, a bathroom cleaning set, & then a set to use as napkins/for food. I washed the package once - we don't use fabric softener anyway - & the towels seem perfectly absorbable (I know other reviews say that increases with use/washing). Probably true, but don't let that make you think they don't start out absorbing spills. I typically use one to sop up all the water I've splashed after hand washing dishes & it works great. I can wring it out, then dry up the rest of the sink area. The only slight downside is they just stick okay to each other, & only sort of stick to the tube. I decided the tube is a nice idea, but not practical anyway. I want to be sure I rotate all my towels - i.e., newly washed goes on the bottom so you're always using the "oldest" first. I would have to wait to use up my entire roll before rolling the newly washed inside, with the older on the outside .... just not practical. Easier to give them a quick fold & stick in my drawer with my kitchen hand towels. With the new sets I'm about to buy, I'll fold & stick in my napkin dispenser, where I would have put the paper napkins, then I'll fold & stick the other sets in my bathroom cleaning buckets. Easy adaptation & I'm so happy I'm not only not buying more paper towels constantly, but saving the trees, less stuff in the landfill, etc. Go Earth & all that jazz.

I feel like I'd give it 4.5 stars, but since I can't, just rounded up. I'd been looking at these for a year now, hesitating - reading reviews both on Amazon and Etsy for the same product. It seemed like mostly good reviews, but polarizing. Some ppl were like "WOW SO GOOD!" and some were like "this is crap, doesn't absorb." These reviews totally confused me and made me hesitate to buy. How can it both be true?? Someone has to be lying, right?? Do they absorb or not?! I am here to answer this VERY question for those of you who might be on the fence. I got them, read the instructions, and followed the instructions to a T. Washed but not in hot water and tumble dried on low. Rolled them up, tested them out.Do they absorb?? YES, yes they do. Do they absorb as well as regular paper towels? No, no they don't. Is it a deal breaker? NOPE. They absorb well enough. They absorb enough to get the job done. Your hands will be like 95% dry and your countertop will be like 90% dry. Your hands will feel just slightly damp but they won't be wet and it's not damp enough to notice/bother. Your counter top will still have a slight water sheen but it will have been disbursed enough to air dry fairly quickly. Conclusion: Yes it doesn't fully absorb, but it's good enough, and it def warrants trying if your goal is to save money on paper towels / save the planet.Another cool pro that I found is that they dry pretty quickly. So if I use one just to wipe my clean hands, i'll lay it out on the counter to dry, then I can use it again. It's usually dry by the time I want to wash my hands again. So that's cool. You're not having to launder them a lot if you re-use before washing. We now have a system where after we wipe, we'll lay it flat out to dry, then use 2-3x before tossing in the laundry bin.I guess the cons are probs pretty apparent to everyone: having to launder, then roll them backup. It's most def an added chore to the weekly chore-list. But like I said, if you re-use then you can reduce on the laundering. I've figured out a system where on the weekends, we do one giant bin of towels, roll them all at once, so we have 3 big rolls for the week. Then you're only having to wash once a week on the weekends. If you stack them all up first then roll, it goes pretty quickly. The ends will get kinda crinkly so the extra step is that you'll have to flatten them first before stacking.That's about it. If you're ok with the extra chores that come with it, it does work pretty well and definitely worth trying.

I love a reusable product!! Also, when compared to paper towels this is just so much better. And I love that everything breaks down and overall #SaveThePlanet. Best Eco-Friendly Design. However, hated to discover that the middle is a normal paper towel roll so it is not reusable and if it gets a dash of wet or someone else that doesn’t know what it is easily can throw it out or it won’t last more than 10 minutes.

The media could not be loaded.  This is my second set of cloth paper towel replacements. It is my first time purchasing from this brand. Material is soft and absorbent. The print is on one side of the cloth, with white on the other.The cloths come with a paper towel roll, which I found to be too small for my paper towel holder, and the cloths did not really stay very well on it. So I store them underneath my kitchen sink with the rest of my kitchen towels.I find that these little cloths work fantastic for picking up spills and doing general cleaning. They work particularly well on glass or stainless steel, as they do not leave behind any lint.I have washed this at once, and the material held up well in the washing machine and dryer, with no shrinking or color fade.

I really like these for cleaning the counter and wiping down appliances, they have a toughness to them. I don't think they are very absorbent... I spilled my water and has to grab other towels as these were not cutting it. They shrink a little in the wash but they wash well and are easy to put back on the holder.

Love having extra towels around, but they don't absorb too much. The "roll" feature is also useless. Doesn't really work since they all come out when you pull one. They're also on the small side.

I really like the softness, thickness and size that I purchased another set. I decided to use them as face cloths instead of paper towels and I love them.

These clean up small spills quickly and easily. The cloths do shrink a bit because I wash and dry everything and cannot be bothered to use any sort of special care at all. That said, it wasn’t significant and they retain their absorbency and they roll up tightly, so I am happy with them.I liked them so much I gave some to my niece, daughter, and daughter-in-law.

Doesn’t do a thing. Mops the mess around and barely absorbs anything. Wouldn’t buy these again if my life depended on it.
