Is the point to spend less money on paper towels over time, given that you take the time to wash them?

I just throw them in when I already have a full load of laundry ...no extra energy but saving lots of trees

Yes. We throw them in with our regular towels to wash. We've used about two rolls of Bambooee for the past year or so. We used to use a roll of paper towels a week. Now we use up a regular roll once every two months.

I have to echo Mr. Maccoole -- mine came two weeks ago and after washing they're fine for my needs and decrease paper towel use. They're bar mops, not hand towels.

These towels, like you said, are lighter, thinner, dry faster, and are made from a more durable synthetic fiber. I used mine while backpacking around a dry, hot region (middle east) and found myself often using it by putting it under my hat to cover my face neck and shoulders, it saved my skin countless times, and packs very tightly. So why not replace every towel in your house? The suede is an...awkward feel against your skin. Not bad by any means, but different, it feels as though water isn't being absorbed as quickly/in the same way as say a typical towel does. Furthermore a typical towel honestly feels more 'comfortable' for whatever reason, and i'd imagine is cheaper as well. Mine didn't have the advertised anti bacterial technology, but I'd assume that is something that wash off/ wear off after a while.

I think that would work, the towels are like thin cloths and are strong and flexible. Attaching one to a mop, like the kind that has holes in the back, is a good idea. They seem rather pricey at first but do last a long time and are machine washable.(if not too grubby).

I bought them for their absorbency and workhorse quality. For show? Perhaps if they were freshly washed. I don't do much for show so can't really comment.

My husband uses small towels and at end of the week he throws them on the washer machine. You can buy at 99 cents store for packs of 3 or 4.

No! Use only once, unless you have additional spray. Then you can re-use the towels.

I would have to agree...what is the benefit? My rags are used cotton rags from old clothes or towels...This is a tweener product that will never get traction. Low priced + disposable = Paper Towel; super cheap + Re-usable = Rags; Medium Priced + Somewhat Re-usable = bambooee...yeah its a no go

I get at LEAST 2 YEARS of usage from mine, before they then begin to tear a couple of inches from each of their ends, during the type of back-scrubbing motions as exhibited on their packages' front. If you don't routinely scrub your back in this manner, I'd imagine they would last you at least FOUR years. (By the way, once they do become shorter from their ends tearing off, I THEN use the "spent," smaller cloth for pot-scrubbing, shower-stall or sink cleaning, etc., for a few MORE years of usage).

I think so, but I just wash them by hand, after using...and stand them up to dry.

No. They be used once again. But can use any of cloth. I even have use blue paper towels are real good

I agree - the paper would not survive washing. You could do the same trick that garages do to prolong life of car/cabin air filters and blow it out with compressed air. But they last for a year and don't cost that much so I'd just replace them. They can be easily replaced in less than 30 seconds.

You can wring it out with soap and hot water and you can even put them in the dishwasher. I think it depends on the amount of grease on the towel whether you would want to use it again.

I don't think so. I think is good as washcloth, also cleaning on the kitchen, I wouldn't dry my dishes with a bathroom towel, I will do it with a kitchen towel. They shrink when you wash them first time

Yes they are. Length of time they last depends on how often used and washed, but generally a long time.

You can reuse them a few times, but they are really not made to stand up to numerous washings and use. I would not put them in the dishwasher!

Hi Sandra! The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!! Read my review and you will see in detail what my experience is! I read reviews that said they sloughed off in the washer like 3 times and had a lot of lint in the dryer. All I can tell you is that after the first wash, there was NO string or residue in the washer and the lint filter in the dryer was an even bigger surprise--hardly any at all!!! They came out of the dryer all big and fluffy--gorgeous white towels! The quality is evident in the look of them. I bought two for myself and two to give as gifts (all are being monogrammed now!!) for 2 friends I am meeting in Rome in February 2014. We are going to a huge spa and I thought such beautiful towels would be a nice gift. I think both guys will like them a lot!! I can only tell you my experience with them--I don't know about anyone else. All I can say is they are WORTH the money!!!!!
