Premium 100% Cotton Flour Sack Tea Towels (192 Pack) - 28" x 28" Ring Spun Dish Cloths - Machine Washable for Easy Cleaning & Drying - Beige Kitchen Towels - Perfect for Baking, Dish Drying & Household Cleaning Tasks

I have looked for premium kitchen towels that would absorb and dry quickly for yrs. I’m 70 yrs young so whose counting lol. As far as care I split up the 12 and use 6 for drying dishes, and 6 for windows & glass.Only use Non Chlorine bleach unless you want holes in your towels ?.They won’t come out as white when you do windows but who cares there in the laundry cabinet or drawer.Drying: Low heat and they dry fast.I forgot them imagine that lol for a few hrs and they weren’t all wrinkled up. I will be buying another set for the car windows etc. I have seen where people have said that what they were posting was a promotional.Take my word no promotion here ?.I love that these are large enough to cover a large dinner plate while hand-drying it on all sides, which helps prevent a wet plate from slipping out of your hands. I love that they are thin, yet absorbant. I love that they are not bulky to store in a drawer so I can keep multiples & I don't have to feel badly about putting one in the laundry after one day's use & using a new one every day. I love that they dry quickly when hung back on a hook. I love that they are plain white & complement any decor & they are incredibly practical due to the bundle price. I do still have a few thicker 'finger towels' to always have one folded by the stovetop for wiping my hands or drying the countertop. But I've otherwise donated all my cutzie-tootzie kitchen towels & use these white ones exclusively now for quicker hand-drying dishes. We quit using our dishwasher because the cycle takes too long, it's too loud, it uses too much electricity and I usually wound-up drying off dishes that come out if the dishwasher anyway. So these flour sack towels have been a welcome timesaver for our hand-drying & they dry dishes so much quicker than the thicker towels!Also - for those that are crafty, these would probably work well for stenciling personalized art or a slogan to make an inexpensive hostess gift.100% recommend.These towels are great, I love to keep them stacked in a drawer in my kitchen and I can just use them throughout the day and throw them into the laundry when done- no more worrying about paper towels or dirtying the prettier kitchen towels. Actually very absorbent and easy to clean. One rag had some fraying after going through the wash but it wasn’t anything that would compromise the integrity of the rag.One thing though, these are really big, as in you could basically use it as a lap apron. And they don’t equally reduce to a smaller size that would be big enough to use as a decent rag, either. (I was thinking about trimming them in halves or quarters and then sewing the edges back closed- like making 2 or 4 rags out of 1... but if you do 2, they are shaped weird and very long, and if you try 4 they are a bit too small). So it’s an awkward size. But it works!I would give five stars in all categories except I don’t know about the fabrics ability to absorb. I use mine for making bread and don’t use them for anything else. Lint free which makes it nice for covering bread dough. They wash well if you follow the directions on the tag. They have a wrinkled look any way so not so sure about that. They fold and store nicely. I am very happy with with what I use this product for.These towels were perfect for my holiday embroidered dish towel project. Towels are listed as 100% cotton, are hemmed on all 4 sides and even have a loop for hanging. I washed the towels in the hottest water available and then dried them and starched and ironed them before machine embroidering the designs.I took a chance on buying these for my business. I needed some new highly absorbent towls for cleaning windows professionally.These work perfect and washed up just fine. It seems likely that they will last me a long time.These are the best dish towels hands down. They absorb the best. They don’t hold smell or stench. And you can bleach them for optimal cleanliness. Amazing. Flour sack/cheesecloth is the. Way. To. Go. A million to none.I purchased these flour sack towels to use when I am cleaning mirrors, ceramics, and especially when I am washing windows. There is nothing better to use.I bought these for my daughters cloth diapers because she was peeing through all the other heavy duty options I was trying. They have been our saving grace to prevent leaks. In comparison to Walmart's they keep their shape perfectly and aren't as thick. I bought a pack or two from Walmart and I hate using those ones. Looking to switch to these for other household uses. Completely trust the Utopia brand for quality towels for multiple uses around my house.My wife and I purchased a few sets of these for use in the kitchen as a replacement for paper towels, and to use as inserts for cloth diapering.The kitchen application is great. It's great for mopping up spills and the like. My only complaint is these, being 28"x28", depending on what I'm using it for, seems like they're too big for the job. Most paper towels feature perforations to rip off a half-sheet for minimal use. Sometimes I only need a little bit to mop up, and feel like using a 28x28 sheet is overkill.The cloth diapering side is great. They're absorbent once prepped well, and do the trick.I recently looked up these sack towels to buy again and I couldn't believe how expensive they were £41 plus I paid 8.99 3 years ago I certainly wouldn't pay that much they are ok but not that amazingWhether or not you love these towels will depend on your expectations and what you use them for. I love them as a general purpose light towel.They are large and perfect for covering my bread while it rises.I just used one of these towels to line my tofu mold and it worked perfectly. In the questions there are differing opinions as to whether these could be used to strain things instead of cheesecloth. Tofu is essentially cheese made out of soy milk and this towel drained as quickly as the cloth that came with the tofu mold so I think it will work well for straining jelly or cheese. I intend to try it next with making paneer (fresh Indian cheese). I have a nylon nut milk bag for making soy milk and nut milk. Inspecting that bag and this towel, I think that the towel would let through a lot more solids because the weave is flexible and not as tight. This cloth may have been the traditional item for making nut milk before the invention of tightly woven synthetic fabric.If you are seeking tea towels for drying dishes, these are like what my mom used in the 60s, but they will not soak up as much water as the thick, ribbed, synthetic tea towels made today. However, these are wonderful, large, low cost, general purpose towels for many uses around the house, polishing, drying, wiping up, wrapping things, lining a strainer, etc.I didn't measure them, but I haven't noticed shrinkage. Being pure cotton, they can be quite wrinkled if they are not folded while still fresh out of the dryer. In terms of weight, these are slightly lighter weight and looser weave than the rice sacks that we used to get in the 60s but because of that these are softer to the touch and quicker to absorb water.These are exactly what I was looking for, and I will buy more when I need them. I think these will last a long time for my uses.Was expecting better quality. You can see through each of them. They leave fiber residue on my dishes, so for me they are pretty useless. Will never buy them again.
