Let me tell you about a product that everyone should have in their kitchens - SKOY cloths. My family stopped using paper towels a long time ago. I hated the fact that I was wasting so much throughout the week, but I'm so thrilled I have my SKOY cloths. They are highly absorbent, won't rip like paper towels and work even better than a microfiber cloth.
I use my SKOY cloths on all the hard surfaces in my kitchen. You can even use these for your car, bathroom, office, etc. It cleans my countertop and tables with ease. I'm tend to be a clean freak so these surpass my sponges and rags. I love the feel of them and will be purchasing these as gifts for friends. Once you've tried one, you understand how great these are!
Here is some information taken from their website:
What is the difference between SKOY and a microfiber cloth?
"The biggest difference is that SKOY is made from natural materials and is 100% biodegradable, while microfiber cloths are made from synthetic materials (see Wikipedia). In other words, SKOY is more earth-friendly. Our experience also show that a SKOY cloth absorbs liquids better than a microfiber cloths and as such is superior for kitchen use. Finally, we think that SKOY feels better in your hand when using it. Let us know what you think on our feedback page."
How is SKOY a greener cleaning solution than paper towels, both end up on the landfill and both are biodegradable?
"It is true that both SKOY and paper towels end up on the landfill (unless you have a compost) and that both are biodegradable. However, there is a big and important difference — a paper towel you can only use once, while a SKOY can be used over and over again. In an average household, each SKOY cloth saves 15 rolls of paper towels!"
What is SKOY made out of?
"SKOY is made from a unique blend of natural cotton and cellulose from wood."

ReplyDeleteI know that our family uses way too many paper towels! On the Skoy site I see where using one of their reusable towels equals the average family using 15 rolls of paper towels. Amazing. Please add my name to your drawing. Many thanks, Cindi
