"Eco-Friendly Sponge Cloths: Our top pick is the super-absorbent Skoy Earth-Friendly Cloth." - Cooks Illustrated

You’ll never want to resort to bulky, wasteful paper towels after you try Skoy cleaning cloths. Each 4-pack replaces more than 60 rolls of paper towels, and out performs them with 15-times the absorbency and fast-drying qualities that resist bacteria.

Plus, they’re about as sustainable as you can get - made of completely biodegradable/compostable cotton and wood pulp cellulose, with water-based colors and inks in a factory that recycles its by-products and purifies its own wastewater.

Product Details

Dimensions
Approx: 6.5" x 7.5"

Design and Functionality
Skoy is a paper towel replacement that has the absorbency and cleaning power of a sponge, without unwanted bacteria. Wet your Skoy, squeeze out excess water, then get cleaning! A Skoy absorbs as much as 15 paper towels and dries so quickly that bacteria don’t have the chance to grow. They hardly take up any space, so it’s easy to store one anywhere you’d like to keep a roll of paper towels, like your kitchen, bathroom or garage. For smaller jobs and spaces, you can cut the Skoy down to whatever size you prefer. You can use cleaning products with Skoy, but it works extremely well with just water - another way it helps save money and resources. Similar to a natural sponge, Skoy lasts longer when used for cleaning hard surfaces as opposed to textiles like carpets.

When it does need a cleaning, you can throw Skoy in your dishwasher or washer/dryer. Or, place it in the microwave wet for 1-2 minutes to keep it germ-free. At the end of its life, Skoy is completely biodegradable. If you throw it in your compost, it will break down in about 5 weeks.

Materials
Made of 100% biodegradable cotton and wood pulp cellulose. Water-based colors and inks. Completely breaks down in compost in about 5 weeks. Skoy’s are packaged with a raffia tie with a recycled paperboard information card.

Sustainability
In America alone, 3,000 tons of paper towels wind up in landfills each day. Not only does using Skoy cleaning cloths divert waste from the landfills, it also reduces the number of trees that have to be cut down for their production and the energy required to package and transport bulky rolls of towels. Because of its small weight and size, the carbon footprint of transporting Skoy is minimal, as verified by an independent consultant.

About Skoy
Skoy was conceived by two women who wanted to make a superior cleaning cloth, with the added bonus of it being environmentally friendly. The Skoy factory has invested heavily in an integrated environmental recycling and disposal facility. Production by-products are purified and recycled as much as possible in the process, and regeneration baths are returned to production by an evaporation process. Wastewater is treated at the site’s biological wastewater purification plants.

Care Instructions
Washable (machine, dishwasher, microwave & dryer safe). Chlorine use not recommended. You can also microwave a wet Skoy for 1-2 minutes to sanitize it.

Tips

Break the paper towel habit by hiding your paper towels under your sink or in another out-of-the-way place. Place a Skoy reusable cloth where you normally keep the paper towels to encourage the whole household to opt for a reusable option first.
Use different color Skoy cloths for different jobs - one color for the kitchen counter, a bathroom cloth, one for common areas of the house and one for floors.

Country of Origin
Made in Germany, packaged in the USA.

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.

by Madonna D - 10/2009

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.

Finally a good paper towel replacement!

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!
