SkoyCloth, 4-pack Versatile Swedish Dishcloths for Kitchen and Household Use, Reusable Cleaning Cloths, Planet-Friendly, Dishwasher and Dryer-Safe, Assorted ColorsCompact by Design (Amazon-developed Certification)

Update: Since purchasing these Skoy cloths the first time, I have tried a few other, cheaper brands of what was supposed to be the same product. And what I've learned is that the other ones are cheaper for a reason; they do not perform as well or last as long. If you haven't tried a European dish cloth before but are considering it a go, save yourself the stress and spend a little more for Skoy.I have come to greatly prefer this kind of cloth over any other material for washing dishes, wiping down counters, and general cleaning tasks. They are a lot more substantial and protective to my hands than an average woven kitchen towel or dishrag. They don't feel weird or sticky on my fingers and collect massive amounts of lint in the laundry like a microfiber towel. They perform similar to a sponge, but are much more flexible and easy to control. In effect, they work like the best of all three combined. And they are very easy to clean and dry between uses, so they don't get funky or stinky. A new or freshly-laundered one, soaked and wrung out until almost dry, is even great for things like dusting, or polishing glassware.What they are NOT very good for is an accidental spill. In their dry state, they don't have the absorbency and flexibility for a fast, "emergency" mop-up. For those, I'm still better off grabbing a rag or paper towel. For everything else though, I'm hooked!

These are the best of the bunch of Swedish cloths that I've tried. They clean well and have lasted a long time. I wash them in the washing machine in a cold wash and they come out fine

We ordered these because they claimed to be a good alternative to using paper towels. Read all of the reviews and thought we'd order a set "and live with them a while, then leave a review". That was more than seven months ago, and we're still going strong on the first two of the set of four.These "cloths" (they are thick-ish, like the thickness of fleece, but kind of spongy as well) are as absorbent as can be... if I spill a small or large amount, they seem to be able to take it all-- at least three times their volume; and after they are squeezed out, they absorb even more. When they are totally dry, if we have a few largish (1-2 square inches) drops of water on the counter, we can just use the corner and it sucks the water right away. It was after the second month with these that I realized we'd gone all of that time without finishing the roll of paper towels (that was half gone when I started using them) we had in our kitchen.I use one of them for washing dishes, and because they are pliable and somewhat "grippy" I can get into all of the nooks and crannies for an excellent job of hand-washing of glass and ceramicware as well as cutlery. I don't know how these things are put together, but after more than half a year, they haven't torn or started to break apart despite the fact that all of our dishes are hand washed with this item.The other one is used for spot cleaning spills on the floor... sometimes with a bit of a scrub needed if something was spilled but not noticed until later. Each use, it picks up the debris and sops up the liquid. It cleans with a squeeze of soap and a few squishes in the hand under running water.I saw that the product is marked down and hope that they aren't going to stop making it due to stalled or reduced sales, because if the sales are slow it is only because the product is so well made that it lasts a long time! I still have two more that are unused in the cupboard, and there are a good couple of months' life remaining in the ones currently in use.If you are looking for a long-lasting and hard-working product that will reduce your reliance on paper towels and dish sponges, look no further. The Skoy Eco-Friendly Cleaning Cloth is worth every cent.

Love this product. Replaces dozens of rolls of paper towels. You can run it through the wash dozens of times. Recommended product to my friends.

Great length, washable and good quality. Not much shrinkage. Wish there was more color choices.

Came in great condition and on time. This product is a bit pricey however they work well on counters/tables instead of so many paper towels. They're absorbent and easily sanitized in the dishwasher for reusability. I'd say they are gentle enough to use without scratching surfaces. I bought these for the pattern as a small gift. It matched a friend's set of dishes. They were a hit.

i hate the cleaning supply isles at supermarkets and i hate housework. When i buy something for cleaning, i want it to be super efficient so i am done with the cleaning as quickly as possible and so i dont have to look for something else. this type of cloths has always been a must-have for me to clean the kitchen counters because they are thick and absorbent, small and practical. they are very easy to find in other countries, but not in the USA, so i had to ask friends to get me some from abroad. i had found some at a Jewel Osco, but the problem with them is that after 4-5 days, they start to rot and have those big horrible black stains covering them. So each would last a bit more than a week, and that was it. i finally found those here, and i was HOPING they would be as "thick" (1/5th") as the ones i need. and they were. Plus the colors are very nice and fresh. No stains, they dry quickly, and they are 2-3" bigger than my hand. they are JUST PERFECT.they would work for all types of cleaning actually.someone wrote they "curl up" when they dry. i lay mine on the counter so it curls up a little bit but nothing bad. but i dont see a problem with that. you need to wet it anyway to use it. i am glad i dont have to use those big extra thin cloths that i need to fold and re-fold to be able to use them. they dont even absorb well, and given their size, where are you going to hang them so they can dry and dont start smelling?can you imagine how many times a day you need to wipe the kitchen counters? i do this all the time for so many reasons, so i need something sturdy. and those are exactly like the ones i had in europe.for all you picky ladies, dont skip this one.
