I have very hard water so I keep these near my faucets to wipe up water spills.Look as advertised, but Disappointed on absorbency. Improved a bit after washing. So many per pack. Hope further washes make them more useful.GoodGood size, not as absorbent as i had hopedThese are really nice in terms of quality, and the burgundy colour is great as stains do not show up. But the absorbency is not good. So - it depends on what you want to use them for really. They work very well as dinner napkins, but not as dish cloths.Supposedly, these dishcloths are 100% cotton which I assumed would make it very absorbent...but it doesn't. I guess not all cotton is created equal. While I liked the look and the price, when I used them to wipe down my kitchen counter after doing dishes, it just pushes the water around. It is almost like it is 100% polyester, not 100% cotton. Not sure if there is a typo or what, but for those of us out there that still use these types of cloths to wash dishes and clean countertops, don't bother. They are not absorbent.They do not really absorb water but instead sort of smear it around. Now I use them when I hand wash dishes and lay it on the counter... beautiful colour and stitching looks good, but I would not gift these OR buy them again.I was looking for some 12 x 12 towels for my guest bathroom. I wanted something really nice, not just the normal towels. When I found these I loved them immediately! Then they arrived, I tried them, because most of the time the "normal" towels don't work when it comes to dry, and Oh surprise! They also leave my hands completely dry! I'm very happy with my purchase!!!I purchased these dish cloths for the colour and hoped that they would perform well being apparently 100% cotton, or so they said. Completely and utterly dissappointed in the performance!! I washed them first thinking they might soften and be absorbant. Wrong! When I squeeze all the water out and wipe my counter, the counter IS STILL WET!!! I was making my own dish cloths for years out of 100% cotton and will have to return to that. I also paid WAY too much for these. Could have been purchased at Giant Tiger or Walmart for under $10! Not the charcoal colour though. I swear these have polyester (plastic) in them!The colour is all I like about them. They all are smaller than I thought even tho I know and read the measurements. They shrunk I’d say %25 and they don’t absorb very well at all.No tienen utilidad. Sumamente delgados. Nada absorbentes. Son los trapititititos de limpieza de superficies pequeñas más caros de la historia.I’ve been using them for only a few months and they’re developing holes.Very lovely quality dishcloths. I highly recommend them.
