What's the benefit of these vs. using regular cloth wash towels, and can they be put back on a roll after removing?

Wash towels tend to sour quickly. I can just rinse these out or toss into the dish washer. They can be washed over and over again. They can not be put back on the roll once removed.

They cannot be put back onto the roll, but they can be re-used many times and washed many times. My family saw them on "Shark Tank" and were curious as to how they would work. We were pleasantly surprised - they do work well and are very absorbent. The only issue we had with them is that we would sometimes, by habit, throw the sheet away after one use (instead of washing them and using them again.)

very absorbant and dry a lot faster than cloth towels so do not get that sour smell. No they cannot be put back on the roll but I just fold them and put them in my kitchen towel drawer.

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!

No need to put them back on the roll. Just rinse them out with warm soapy water or toss them in the washing machine. Eventually you will toss it out and use a new one. So far we are on our second one.

I've used one both at home at now we have one at the office. Have never had the roll come off. I have one one rubber cap come off on the one at home but a little super glue and now it's all good. Because it is metal if your towels aren't tight enough you could give one end a little bend in. But we've had no issues at the office and we go thru a roll in about two days.

The cloths are machine washable, so you can wash them after each use. They are made of a thin, towel-like fabric and seem pretty durable. I haven't replaced any in the 6 months or so that I've had them.

Either in a bucket or slop sink OR have several that you can change, then launder them for use the next time. Get extra cloth strips!

I don't know why you'd want to wash & reuse the cloths. They're really small (about 3" square) - enough to do the job. If you want microfiber cloths, You can buy them anywhere.

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 think these are easier to use than the microfiber cloths because they are smaller and have a sturdier feel. They seem to rinse out better also. I still use a microfiber cloth to wipe down my shower after using, but now that I think about it, I think I will try these instead. I guess I was thinking that microfiber did not leave lint but these don't either. My husband actually does the dishes and loves them.

Put it in the washing machine just like you would towels. However, I find it's better to air dry them instead of putting them in the dryer.

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.

I just wash and dry them like I would any towel. Not sure if this recommended but it works. I've had mine for a year with weekly washing a and they are in great shape. When possible I love to line dry!

Is it possible to use new or old towels to make your own? Or perhaps cloth diapers or maybe the microfiber cloths? I am sort of asking for myself as well because I have been so impressed with the "Comments" that I am planning on buying one.

Ditto on the previous answers. I find that they are more than adequate to wipe your whole body with a single towel. They are pretty thick, about the thickness of a dish towel so heed the warning not to flush them cause these things will clog your toilet in a heartbeat. They are moist enough that if used after a workout which is my use, just wipe your sweat off first and they will leave you feeling very fresh.

That's funny because I've heard just the opposite...do not wash them and use them afterwards because you can never get all the detergent out of them and they will smear your TV screen. It would be interesting to find out if someone knows for sure what to do.

I never had any intention of removing mine. But I've heard that you can apply it to a rubber backung so you can roll them up when not in use. You might be able to use velcro then, to apply it where you want it to go. And good luck!

Yes, they're fairly easy to remove for washing. Shouldn't take more than a minute to take off. Putting them back on can take a few minutes, but even that's pretty straightforward and easy.

I honestly don't remember -- sorry! But I will say -- use a surger to surge the perimeter of each cloth and they'll last FAR longer!!! Love these wipes except that they fall apart easily -- then my my mom surged them for me and they held together beautifully.

I wash these towels along with my other towels using hot water, liquid detergent, and crucially NO fabric softener (softener fills up the little nooks and crannies in the fabric and negatively affects its absorbency). I guess you could, as others have said, use vinegar if you want to give the towels a good cleaning.
