Review on ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ Vintage Design Kitchen Dish Towels: Super Absorbent 100% Natural Cotton, 13-Pack Set, Size 25.5x15.5 inches, White with Red, Green, and Blue by Henry Hunter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not perfect, but good enough for everyday use.

Contrary to some reviews, my towels absorb moisture well and feel great (I washed and tumble dried before use). Against the instructions I washed my towels hot (125F on my handy thermometer I bought from Revain ;) and also against the instructions I put them in the dryer hot and they came out fine, some people reported that the streaks of colour there was bleeding on white stuff but i have no problem with that. Some reviewers have mentioned that they shrunk, I mean they are 100% cotton, what do you expect? I didn't measure them as I don't care about shrinkage. I use them to dry my hands to save on paper towels and dry dishes and I'm fine with that. There were some flaws with them. Some towels had threads where a small part of the thin thread might be dark where the bleaching process didn't fully bleach the thread (this is a guess as to why, I really don't know for sure, I'm not a textile specialist). It's noticeable when you examine the towel, but I don't really care. The fabric of a towel was rough and swollen. These defects are due to the fact that I washed and dried hot? I don't know, but that's ok because I wash at a hot temperature, but maybe I'll turn the dryer temperature down a notch. For the money I paid the shortcomings are acceptable to me. Other towels I considered were much more expensive. I use them for daily drying. If a guest came up to me and thought they could inspect my towels (do you know any of those people? LOL) I might have gone for a better quality towel, but for my needs and everyday use they are fine. I think they are good for everyday use. Also, I wanted to hang it from a drawer handle (about 1.25" in diameter) near the sink, but the loop isn't big enough for that, even close by. I tried stretching the loop and heard the threads snap, oops (I'm the guy, we check things out!) Some loops are larger than others, but none of them extend past the handle. The towels listed above (13 packs, white with stripes) I would like Amazon or the seller to fix this for us.

Pros
  • High test scores for hold and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
