Review on 🧺 Simpli-Magic 79142 Shop Towels 150-Pack, White – Versatile and Absorbent Cleaning Cloths by Tracy Graham

I have to say right away that I didn't buy them as store towels. It was March 2020 and with Covid-19 I bought these as a possible replacement for paper towels as there is so much hoarding of paper products and paper towels are non-existent in my area. Keep in mind that they are sold as store towels so they are not "pretty". The ones I received were packaged as 'cotton blend' which disappointed me because the product description says 'cotton'. but beware, that doesn't mean 100% cotton. Also, since they are not sold for kitchen use, the product does not need to state what the other "mixed" fibers are, and no, it is not mixed. Not surprisingly, they had an oily odor and a slightly oily aftertaste. I washed them in HOT water with some borax and washing soda to deodorize and remove grease. Then I dried them on HOT. This process worked very well as after washing they were fluffy and got rid of oils and odors. My washing machine had a lint tray and the dryer basket was full of lint, but that wasn't a surprise either. Note: They were made in Pakistan. The only downside to these towels is that the edges are covered and the lining doesn't always go all the way through the fabric. as a result, the towel will dissolve where the fabric is not covered. I don't have a serger, so I can't fix this problem. Overall I am happy with their performance, they absorb moisture very well and easily fit in a pocket. I would spend $19 in a big box for 12 rolls of paper which would last me 6 months and with 150 of these cloth towels I could use them for much longer than 1 year. I gave them 4 stars because many of them weren't done with the edge.
