Ecoegg Bamboo Kitchen Towels | Reusable Eco Friendly Alternative to Kitchen Paper | Made from 100% Sustainable Sources | Super Absorbent | 20 White Towels | 1800 uses

I bought these with the intention of replacing my regular paper kitchen towels as the packaging suggests, but as pleasantly surprised by the sheer variety of tasks they're useful for. The wipes are made from bamboo viscose and biodegradable plastic, meaning they could theoretically be composted. That said, I have run these through the wash multiple times and can't see them requiring disposal any time soon.I'm admittedly not the tidiest person, and would often use kitchen towels to mop up egg whites off my work surfaces when making my morning omelettes, which inevitable left a visible residue. As these are significantly more absorbent than paper towels, and hold up better to rinsing and wringing out, I tend to find these are much better at this task.They're also great for dusting, mopping up spillages on furniture and they have been absolutely indispensable for reducing moisture in the bathroom post shower. I'm even convinced that they could replace wet wipes, but this isn't a test I've put them to yet.I'll do another review in a year to see how they've lasted, but in this early stage I'm incredibly pleased with the results so far.

This is a good alternative to paper kitchen roll. There's lots of sheets and they wash very well on a quick cycle in the washing machine ( I put them on the 15 min one with the tea towels and aprons). They are strong and absorbent. They are better after using them a couple of times (with washings) because when new their surface is a little fluffy. They keep their shape quite well after washing. I find it's a good idea to pull them smooth when taking out of the washing machine and hanging them out on the washing line to dry, or over a clothes stand.

DESCRIPTIONThis will certainly last.It absorbs really well and is nice having a better thickness to the kitchen towels when soaking up spills and freshening up surfaces.These are exactly the same as the disposable kitchen surface wet wipes if having been left out to dry or not resealed properly between uses! Wipes worked well surprisingly, I've used surface & floor wipes when they had dried and they did quite well after placing under the tap briefly to clean and as dry to absorb but generally not as practical for as many uses as this roll is and not as strong.They are easier to use than wipes as they can just be pulled away from the roll, they dont contain any chemicals or substances so are safe for all surfaces, environments and can be used as a napkin etc too in that respect. The roll is the same size as are the sheets as a standard to standard plus sized paper kitchen towel roll. The sheets are perforated and can be removed from the roll easilyUSEAGEThis particular roll is good for washing a surface with one sheet and drying with another, they do well on areas that require a bit of a **polishing** too.Because of their texture they are a nicer alternative to tissues and maybe even handy to have in the bathroom or travelling too for all purpose usage.I often use kitchen paper based towels as a **napkin for cutlery** or as a handy **napkin for slodgier meals** like curries for hands and faces! (Not advisable to give to young toddlers and babies as there can be a little bit of fluffy fabric around the edges appear if pulled about).These are ace for **potted plants!!** (Just fold one up, drench in water and place in the base of a plant pot holder, then place the plant pot into the container as usual. When watering, remove the cloth and re drench or water direct onto the cloth where it is in the outer container. This works well).Very useful for **painting**, I go through multiple kitchen towels and wash cloths are too thick, these are great!These aren't cheap enough to throw and I found them better to rinse out directly after usage, especially when cleaning kitchen surfaces, this way I can use them again a few more times before a thorough wash or rinse and use on the floor and thoroughly wash.They would be able to use as a **dish cloth** for a few cups and small items quickly, as long as they are not left in water for too long as they become too soft to be effective as they are not designed to be a dish cloth.WASHINGThey can be washed and hung up to dry.I'd personally wash them separately or with tea towels etcI was concerned about the staining of these with sauces etc but definitely much is removed when rinsing well and I'm sure if i spray a little bit of an eco friendly laundry stain remover before washing like I would normally with any garments that require additional cleaning, the stains should go quite well.My only remaining concern is if the fluff gets into the washing machine, this of course can be said for certain clothing too, so will continue to rinse the same as dish cloths then soak these in stain remover if required and rinse well, I believe this will prevent them losing their shape and size too!They stretch back nicely either way and when nearly dry, placing them under something flat and heavy will help.

great product last well

I have a chronic running nose and was looking for an alternative to kitchen roll for three reasons: to save money, to reduce the chance of me inhaling kitchen tissue dust and to be less wasteful.I first tried using cotton face cloths. I thought I’d try this unconventional option first as I wanted to use something soft as I notice my nose can get irritated by constant use of tissues. The face clothes were soft, absorbent, but bulky and would look unusual when used in public. I next tried conventional handkerchiefs. As I’d suspected, from my memories of these as a child, they were not soft or absorbent. I then came across these bamboo reusable tissues. When first used they are quite firm and not very comfortable to use. However, after the first wash, they become luxuriously soft and absorbent. They aren’t bulky and space-consuming like the face cloths I first tried. They wouldn’t look odd to use in public, as they just look like tissues.In terms of washing, the instructions on the packaging are confusing - as one statement says to wash at 40 degrees and another says to wash at 60 degrees. I went with washing at 60 because I want to get things clean as possible to help with allergies and killing dust mites. I’ve washed the tissues four or five times over now and they’ve come out fine so far. I've found myself using all of the tissues on one roll, I wash half whilst using the other half, and do a wash each day to swap, which fortunately is possible, considering they air dry very quickly.Best of all, these tissues are far cheaper than buying as many face cloths or handkerchiefs would amount to - though I didn’t get to experience the benefit of that - having already bought face cloths and hankies to experiment with first.I didn’t expect much of these at all, in fact I dithered upon purchasing them, as I felt guilty for having already spent so much on face cloths and hankies, but I’m so glad I bought them.I intend to keep using the current tissues and I hope they last a good a while! My favourite thing of all about these tissues is how soft they are, after their first wash. My nose really needs this, given how much I rely on the tissues throughout the day. They’re also the perfect size, not too large or too small. Thank you to the people who came up with these tissues! A wonderful invention!
