I am surprised that my experience with these dish cloths is so different from most other reviewers. The cloths are two ply thick. They are woven as a tube shape, cut to size and two cut ends are selvage-sewn together. It makes them very thick so they do not dry after using and go sour smelling FAST. They are not absorbent either. When I wring out the cloth and run it over the counter top the counter top is wet. The directions on the pack said to wash before use, which I did. I will try washing a few more times to see if that will improve the absorbancy (I did not use fabric softener either), if not, they go in the rag bag.

My wife & I really like these Dish Cloths. They are very absorbent, have ridges that help loosen and pick things up, and they air out well so they don't smell as quickly as some. We've only had them a few months and they're holding up very well. As inexpensive as they were, they'd be worth it even if we threw them away now.

Our last ones were sent to the rag bin but finally found them on Amazon. These are the best dish cloths -- clean well, thin enough to dry quickly, and by being 100% cotton, can wash in hot water or bleach if necessary.

I am AMAZED by how well this cloth works. A few of my rings were tarnished enough that I thought I would have to polish them for a while before seeing a difference, but I was shocked when I used this cloth for three minutes and they were back to new

Updated 2/15/15: Have to say I first off am extremely impressed with their customer service. Upon noticing my unhappiness with the first set of clothes I received they reached out to me and worked with me to try some things to see if they would improve results, they didn't and they offered a full refund. A few weeks later they contacted me again and said they had recently found that a batch of clothes were not manufactured to their standards and shipped me 2 new sets free of charge to try again.

These new ones are night and day difference and are outstanding, living up to the products advertisements and the other stellar reviews. These are the best cloths I've ever used for cleaning glassware. They don't stick with any friction and dry glass with one swipe most times. Extremely impressed and Highly Recommended for cleaning stemware.

Well I wanted to really love these as I do love their XL size. These were bought to replace some very old glass cleaning cloths purchased years ago to clean my wine glasses. Those from day one were great as they left zero lint/fibers behind. These were washed once by themselves when I got them and then used on one glass before I quit using them as they left a bunch of tiny lint fibers easily visible behind on the glass. I figured maybe a couple more washing's might help remove the small lint/fibers so I washed them 2 more times but to no avail. If anyone has a secret to fix these so they don't leave any lint behind I'd like to know so please comment.

I ordered these because they were cotton and not microfiber and did not have the mess scrub backing.  After reading reviews about durable dish cloths, I decided to try these out.  However, after less than a week, one of the cloth already has holes in it. I can't say that I'm  surprised as the fabric was pretty thin to begin with.  Unfortunately, these do not hold up well.

I like the basket weave pattern on these. I actually knit my own dish cloths and mine are pretty heavy duty, so these do feel a bit thin to me, but not overly so. They are great for hand washing dishes, which is what they are for. Not for drying dishes. They have dish towels for that. Washcloths are for washing your body when you take a shower. These are nice and they do have some scrubbing power due to the basket weave pattern on them. I actually like these for dishes that my thick knit cloths can't get into like a bottle with a narrow neck. I'm quite happy with these.

These dish cloths are awesome. They have a great material. One side is a little more course for scrubbing. They are durable and so far have held up really well. I would order them again.

Overall happy with these. I  was looking for dish cloths to clean my stainless appliances without having go behind and dry to prevent streaks. In particular my range that is used multiple times a day and the above microwave. They do clean my stainless much better without having to go behind and dry, even on glass! I have a dishwasher and do not do a lot of hand washing, but have experienced food particles getting caught in the microfibers that others have complained about. Not enough of a deterrent for me to switch back, but maybe I'd consider washing dishes with a regular cotton dish cloth and cleaning counters and appliances with these. Once washed in my washing machine these particles seem to get cleaned out.
So they have taken over my regular cotton dish cloths. However they do stain about the same as regular cotton dish cloths. I have used in my washing machine bleach, oxiclean, vinegar to remove just regular stains and not much luck. They aren't any worse than my cotton but was hoping since they had more poly that they'd clean up better. I bought a 2nd pack a couple of months later, I'm overall happy with them.  Hope this review was helpful.

I love the cloths so much that I have given them as gifts. I use them everyday for doing dishes and cleaning counters. When I bleach my sink I throw them in to clean them. Have stayed together better then another brand I used.

They work much better than I expected; I am currently using them as dish cloths.  They absorb water well and when you wipe the sink or table you only do it once.  With more traditional cloths, I sometimes had to dry the table after wiping it down.  Any stains or food collected after wiping down the dishes rinses right out of the cloths.  So far they have not torn or shredded.

These are really a little rough to be used as wash cloths but they are wonderful as cleaning cloths.  I had some from years ago that lasted and lasted until I could no longer wash the dark grey stains out of them.  They'd also gotten rather thin in the middle and frazzled on the edges.  These new ones will be excellent replacements.  Twenty-four are more than I need; therefore, I was able to share half with my grateful sister and nieces.

I just got these and haven't tested them as thoroughly as I will be but I am pleased with the size, weight and texture.
They are the same size as a washcloth and have a nice soft feel that's woven like washcloth fabric.
They weight is lighter than most washcloths but still feels good.

I want a cloth that's soft, not scratchy feeling, that will absorb enough to wipe a countertop dry, rinse thoroughly, dry quickly and NOT SMELL BAD!

I'll update this post later!

These could well be the worlds best dish cloths.  They are soft and absorbent; yet, they dry quickly.  They are thick; but, I can still feel stuck-on food through them (this is a good thing.) They aren't too big nor too small.  They have a good, scrubby texture; but, they are super soft.  I was afraid when I ordered them that food particles might get stuck in the weave and be hard to clean out.  This hasn't been the case, though.  I also thought they might stretch out and be unwieldy when wet.  Not so.  These dish cloths really are perfect.  I don't think Id change a thing.  Id certainly buy them again.  (Note: I cant comment on longevity.  Theyve only been washed once so far.)

I don't like to use a sponge for washing dishes.  The microfiber dishcloth is a great option.  From my previous experience, I expect these to hold up for a very long time.

I've gotten so many dish towels from here for all different occasions.  I think these are very pretty but please note that these have the feel of a dish cloth instead of a dish towel.  They always call them towels but it's hard to tell until you get them how they will feel.  They are the thinner cloth material.  I son't like them like that as much but I know many people do.  The read and white towel can be displayed in a fold as you see in the photo and you can see and read the writing on them.  The brown one must be unfolded to be able to read all, so you will have to unfold the towel for it to display all of the "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" saying. As a result, I put these in the like but not love category.  I like the combination of colors though and the red is such a pretty rustic towel.

I purchased these to use on my jewelry table at an art fair.
  On the second day, I was putting the jewelry out and when I adjusted the cloth it let go at the seam.  Now, I did not pull on one side like a dummy.  I have used banquet tablecloths before.  I grabbed it right at the seam so as to use even pressure on the top and the side.  I did remove a bunch of threads, gently of course.  If they did not come out with the slightest pull I left them on.  I guess this occurred at one of the places I removed a thread.
I sewed that up and then last night washed all three of them.  As I was laying them out on the tables to finish drying I hear the same tearing noise and another hole opened up on a different cloth - larger this time.  And it appears another one is getting ready to go a couple of inched away from that one.
They have remained wrinkled - even though I took them out of the dryer and allowed them to finish drying on the tables.
 I have taken photos and will try to upload them for all to see.
