Utopia Kitchen Towels Unbleached Cotton Reviews Summary

Absorbency

Pros:

• "They absorb water very well (don't use fabric softener)!"
• "Best utility towel ever!"
• "I can't rave about these towels enough. We hand wash and dry our dishes so having a good towel for drying is essential."
• "They are huge so you can fold them over and use one for the entire kitchen easily."
• "Great for drying glassware. I use them to wipe down, windows, appliances and everything else that I want streak free."
• "They take a beating. They take bleach and hot water."
• "They are very absorbent and dry quickly, and completely lint free."

Cons:

• "These are terrible towels. Purchased these to replace paper towels and they don’t absorb anything, they just move liquid around."
• "I like these except I am disappointed in their absorbency."
• "The fabric used for these is treated with something that causes the towels to spread the water droplets, sprays, spill around as much as it carries some off in the material."
• "These are nowhere as absorbent as the previous batch."
• "I gave a 5 star review but I’ve used them for a few weeks and even after a few washes they still DO NOT ABSORB!!!!"
• "Personally I don't find them to be quite has highly absorbent as they claim to be but they are certainly absorbent enough."
• "They are not very absorbent so I personally don’t use them to wipe down counters or dry my hands."

Quality and Durability

• "They are soft, sturdy, absorbent and large enough for big jobs."
• "They are highly absorbent."
• "Absolutely outstanding! I've been looking for this quality towel for YEARS!"

Cons:

• "Bandage gauze would come closer to qualifying as flour sack towel; I wouldn’t keep them if a loved one gave them to me."
• "These are fine, fairly cheap quality but I make tea towels and they suffice except for the fact that a number are unusable due to stains or holes."
• "I have to share that this is my second order of towels, and I found this stack to be of inferior quality compared to the first."
• "This last order came and the quality is not at all the same! What happened? They are insanely thin."
• "I’ve found the towels perfect for my use, but did knock off one star because a hole developed after one wash in one towel."
• "The fabric is not the quality of the previous towels - much coarser, and they are not softening with more washings."
• "These towels are kinda gray and coarser than any flour sack towels I have bought in the past."

Price and Value

• "Great value for what you get."
• "Great value, and they do the job."

Cons:

• "Bought these towels in April for the reasonable price of $23...now in Nov they're $37??"

• "I am in love with these towels! They are so pretty, soft, and simple."

• "They are a good four+ inches off on the bias. They can't be folded properly because the cut is very crooked."

• "They don't iron well at all, they seem to have a permanent wrinkle to them."
• "These towels would be great except the first three I removed from the package were dirty and stained."
