I personally cannot stand the standard "dish towel". Other towels, I use to dry my hands or dry dishes and then it's soaked for at least an hour. This towel makes me want to use the word perfect. I understand this isn't what they advertise it for, but you should consider it.

I love these towels and bought both the hand towels and bath towels. They launder well and are very absorbent and dry quickly after use. They stay smelling fresh as others don’t because they dry well. Beautiful color however I wish they had them in gray.

So many colors to choose from. I love these so much I went ahead and bought the entire towel set on my next order. Again be sure to read the washing instructions. Do Not Use Fabric Softener.
