They are 100% biodegradable, absorbent, re-usable, European-made, compostable, multi-use and have unique designs and fun colors!
And they are just what I have been looking for in our paperless kitchen .
They are Skoy Cloths .
You may remember me posting about going paperless in our kitchen. You can read about it HERE . Since then I have been on the hunt for a good Earth friendly cloth. One that will stand up to all the cleaning, scrubbing and washing I do daily in the kitchen. And something that will make it through the washer and dryer. And the dishwasher!
Thankfully I learned about Skoy cloths and contacted them to do a review. They were happy to oblige and sent me four Skoy cloths.
Skoy Cloth was founded by two stay-at-home moms who are environmentally friendly as well! I enjoyed reading about them on their website, and learned about their environmentally friendly factory. I love to learn about a company that cares about our planet. So many big companies are losing site of just how much damage pollution can do.
Along with that information, I also found out Skoy has a fundraising program for schools! Schools keep 40% of the profits sold off of Skoy products they specially purchase. You can learn more or get involved by visiting the above link or Fundraising tab on the Skoy Cloth website.
From Skoy:
Skoy Cloth is an innovative cloth that comes in an array of colors and designs and takes the place of your paper towels, sponges, rags, dishcloths and more.
It is a European made product and 100% biodegradable when properly composted because it is made from a natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp. Skoy Cloth is a chlorine-free product using water-based colors and inks. After an independent composting test, Skoy Cloth broke down completely within 5 weeks.
The Skoy Cloth is a durable product due to the reusability factor and can last months. Using a Skoy Cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. With the high cost of paper towels, as much as $2 per roll, Skoy Cloth is the obvious choice for your wallet and the environment.
The Skoy Cloth has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight. As a result, producing the most superior cloth product available. Imagine using 15 sheets of good-quality paper towels at once… This is how a wet Skoy Cloth will feel in your hand.
The Skoy Cloth is long-lasting because of the wash-ability feature. It dries quickly, so it is not a breeding ground for bacteria. Have you ever used your sponge, then smelled your hand and it reeked of horrible bacteria? That will never happen again if you microwave your Skoy Cloth regularly. It is also dishwasher and washer/dryer safe. Cleaning your Skoy Cloth will keep it healthy and germ-free.
Now that is amazing stuff!!!! I couldn't wait to get my hands on these cloths. When dry the Skoy cloth looks like a big, thin sponge. And when wet a really thick soft durable paper towel.
1-dry Skoy cloth.
2-wetting the Skoy cloth.
3-what it looks like after squeezing out excess water.
Pretty amazing how quickly it dries. And even when wet it is not a dripping mess.
And one of my favorite things about the Skoy cloth......yep, tossing it in the dishwasher.
I have yet to microwave them, but they have proven to stand up well to the dishwasher. I run my dishwasher at least once a day. Each wash I toss in the Skoy cloth I have been using. It comes out clean and ready to use again.
I am ready to throw away some old rags and replace with Skoy cloths today. I would highly recommend them if you have ever thought about going paperless in the kitchen. Or any other room in your home. There's a cloth for that!
Give them a try today. Skoy cloths can be purchased in their online store, through Amazon or at The Container Store and select Cost Plus World Markets.
Disclosure: My opinions are my own and may differ from your opinions. I was sent a pack of 4 Skoy Cloth for this review. I received no other compensation for this post.
