text: There is so much that is right about these cloths. The real problem is that they do not absorb water or liquids well so I have to use a different towel to absorb even small amounts of excess water on the kitchen counter. If they could absorb liquid more effectively I would highly recommend them. The non scratch scrubby side is very effective. But I will use mine and enjoy how well they rinse out and scrub without scratching my dishes and pans.
