Wanted some heavy disposable lint free towels to use while rehabbing some old cast iron and purchased these. They worked just fine but I have to say they are nice and thick, absorbent and can be bought in several different sizes. I used to have a stash of my husbands blue shop towls under the sink for heavy duty jobs but have decided to replace them with these. They are really great for things like draining fried foods like bacon and wiping down heavily soiled BBQ grills and just getting up large spills plus they shine up stainless steal and glass with no lint residue. The down side? They aren't super cheap and I wish they came on a roll like paper towels, it would be easier to store them out of the box.
