Could anyone tell me if they've used these towels in place of butter muslin or tightly woven cheesecloth? Thank you!

I have not used them in place of either of the items you mentioned, but I do consider them tightly woven, they wash beautifully with no lint and are great for my dish drying purpose.

I have not used them for anything but drying dishes, but I do note that they are tightly woven and sturdy. After a few months of use, the hems and selvages have held up well. These towels do dry dishes lint free. I believe they would work for straining liquid in an application such as making cheese, but you might want something a little bit looser in weave.

Yes. No problem. I just rolled one up and tried it. I normally use the thick bath towels from Costco on mine.

The bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths all seem to me to have the same thick fluffy quality. I've been washing mine repeatedly, and they still feel and look great.

I agree with all previous comments! I did try using one to drain stove cooked bacon. It worked very well but decided I didn't want to put bacon grease in my washer, may work very well in a dishwasher (don't have one), so I'll keep paper towels around for that. You will love these towels!

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).

No. These towels have gone through lots of use and laundering and are holding up beautifully. However-I dry them on my drying rack to prevent more shrinking. Since I have 13 towels, I don't miss the 3 or 4 that are drying.

Awful it feels a lot like microfiber. A washcloth is twice as thick as this. If you find the old fashion kind like the ones that first came out on the market made of a thick cotton can you please send me the info on how to get them. My old ones are worn out but I won't spend more money till I get the real thing. Thanks. I hope it helped you.

I used a tied woven chamois and didn't have this problem. Keep away from old bath towels and loosely woven cottons or polyesters. You will, probably, have to give the board a light hand sanding now with 220 grit or emery.

I don't think so , they will be out of the liquid that complement the action of the towels. So if you use it after washing it, you should not expect it to do the same job.

They are very thick towels and quite heavy. They are very absorbent. I am very please with my order.

Yes, I have washed them with my other whites and have used Clorox bleach on them :) So far they are holding up well for inexpensive towels. The only draw back is that they are thin but, in truth, I am comparing them to thicker Turkish white towels I purchased from Lands End :) otherwise, these are great for the price!

I think they would be fine. They do get soft but I own embroidered towels that are pretty soft with age and they are just great.

Hello Auntie Ane's Attic, Currently we do not have these towels available in any other colors. We have looked into adding other colors. Which colors would you like to see us carry? Thank you for your question Stephen Founder, GCC

I use Tide but I really think it doesn't matter what kind you use. I like these dish towels, they dry nicely but they are smaller than I thought they would be. For the price however, they are pretty good.

I don't have any experience with this type of straining, but I think they would work if you want liquid only. Unlike cheesecloth, they are a tight weave. They are comparable to a lightweight bed sheet.

I did not have this problem. My dish towels were quite absorbent, even though they are very thin. I also do not use fabric softener when I dry them.

I am blonde with a medium completion and I always use the medium/dark tan towel, and I love them. My friend is very similar to your colour and she uses the same one as me, and it looks great on her. Yes, I would say use the medium/dark. I's a fantastic colour.
