My sister gave me a packet of Skoy 3 weeks ago, and although I was skeptical at first, I am just amazed by these little guys-- In fact, I haven't used a paper towel since I got them, and I was a paper towel addict. They really do clean things with just water. Also, I spilled a bunch of really brown water from under a houseplant on my white carpet. In the past, that would have been a disaster--complete with souvenir stain. The Skoy towel picked up all the liquid and the hideous stain never had a chance to set. You can't even tell where it happened. Amazing.
Because they are cotton and cellulose, the Skoy towels are soft to the touch, so I don't worry about scratching any surfaces. They clean with just water, picking up dirt, etc. with very little effort. They wash clean in the dishwasher or the clothes washer (I've also just washed them in the sink by hand, so that they're ready for action in no time). They don't seem to collect smells that way cloth towels tend to do, either.

The Skoy Paper Towel Replacements are fabulous: strong, extremely absorbant, easy to clean, odorless, stain-resistent and they have a slight texture that makes for good scrubbing, even on the ridges on wood or tile floors. Even with extreme use (see below) they retain their shape and condition.
A great example of nasty and successful work: we had a jar of molasses leak in the cupboard that we did not notice until it was mostly dry and extremely tacky. Soaked the Skoy towel in warm water and a little glycerine soap and left overnight. By morning, the towel had sucked up nearly all of the dried molasses. A quick final sweep of the shelf with the rinsed Skoy, and it was gone. The amazing thing was that after a hand wash in the sink, the towel was clean, unstained, and completely odor free.
I was so pleased with this product that I gave one of mine to my mother. Now she and I will both be ordering more.

I was really impressed with these. I wasn't sure they would be any better than the normal microfiber cloth we had in our kitchen, but they are...much better. The key is how fast these dry, preventing any bacteria/odor. They are also extremely absorbent. Definitely recommend these!

These are so cool. I'm really making an effort to use fewer paper towels. The Skoy towels are more like using a paper towel than a rag. They also dry out really quickly, so they aren't sitting there wet all day. I'll be getting some more of these!

I have tried other versions of replacement papertowels, but these are by far the best ones. They actually do what they claim - absorb water, clean countertops, wash well. Ignore the rest...buy these!

These sponge/towels are great. They seem really hardy and withstand repeated wiping and even scrubbing. I keep one on hand to wipe baby's hands after eating. Skoy's have become a part of our kitchen.

I have been keeping these above the paper-towel rack and I use them for all the tasks previously assigned to paper towels (with the exception of the occasional bug eradication and pet messes). Although I only use paper towels made from recycled paper, the Skoys are helping me save money by using less of those (since they are pricier than non-recycled products).
I have been washing them in the dishwasher, which gets them really clean.

I hate that my boyfriend uses paper towels for EVERYTHING...a while ago he bought me some of those Sham-Wows but the second you wash them they turn to crap...I was looking for Christmas presents and came across these, I asked my very green friend and she said she loved hers so I ordered a set for me and one for my sister & her husband. I LOVE THEM! They scrub really well and therefore hold up much better than a paper towel and I've already thrown one in the washer and it came out perfectly. I love that you can microwave them to make sure no bacteria grows...so far they are perfect! The only thing that I still need a paper product for is cleaning mirrors, but I just use old newspaper so I don't feel too bad. Definitely worth it!

I gave these reusable towels to my sister and she is giving such high praise, I think I will be buying some for everyone in the family. She especially loves that the towels can go in the dishwasher

I think I've probably already saved at least one roll of paper towels with these and didn't need to buy more sponges. I particularly like being able to sanitize them by washing them in the machine with the laundry.

These are the greatest things! They wear well, soak up lots of water, and I feel thrifty when using them. Even my husband likes them, and he's skeptical about new ideas.

Skoy clothes are a great replacement for paper towels and dishrags. They last after several washings and don't take on odors like regular dishrags can. Very absorbant, durable and dry out quickly after use. Highly recommend.

I got these as a Christmas gift and love them. I will definitely use them for little messes on the counters and floors. My 4 year old loves them. She can wet one, ring it out and then stick it to a wall or cabinet. Good clean fun.

First package has lasted so long, I'm just reordering now -- and giving them as gifts to my daughter & daughters-in-law -- they're great.
