Scott%C2%AE Towels OriginalTM 55990 sheets Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "These are definitely the best wipes I have ever used."
• "These cloth like paper towels are awesome! They are great for cleaning and can be re-used a few times."
• "Very absorbent material."
• "I have washed, handwringed dry, and reused these towels 3 to 4 times per towel in most cases."
• "They don't tear as easily when wet, which makes mopping up spills less frustrating."
• "They are strong enough that they don't tear when using them."
• "These shop towels work well when they are dry but rip right up when they get wet."

Cons:

• "Now the last couple of times I bought them they rip easily and don't last as long."
• "But they can't scrub like a good disposable, industrial shop rag can."
• "These rolls are Half of what the role usually is."
• "This last batch of shop towels doesn’t hold up near as well as they used to. They disintegrate almost immediately."
• "They tear and fall apart more easily."
• "These are not the same as before. Yes the roll is smaller, But more importantly they are thinner and less absorbent and less strong."
• "These towels work well when they are dry but rip right up when they get wet."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "The price wasn't bad either for a box."
• "It's an excellent bargain."
• "And waaaaay more affordable here than at the local home improvement store."
• "Same great towels as you get from Big Box stores. However you get twice as many rolls for the same price."
• "You save a few bucks getting it in bulk here than buying from the store."
• "So glad I saw them on a special of the day - they cost less than $1 a roll!!"
• "Even cheaper than Costco which is saying something because big box chains are difficult to beat on price a lot of times."

Cons:

• "These towels are great for so much. They just cost more than I want to pay, but it is worth it."
• "But since the pandemic, and their rebranding, the rolls have gotten much smaller, the towels thinner, and yet the price considerably higher."
• "Do cost a bit more."
• "These strong blue cleaning rolls work out at about £3.20 per roll which is not cheap."
• "Probably a bit too pricey to use on a regular basis but they do the job very well."
• "These are great but I purchased a case of 12 about 3 weeks ago for 20 dollars and now they’re selling for almost 60 dollars! Shame on these sellers for taking advantage of consumers during a pandemic."
• "More expensive and less product."

Quality

Pros:

• "I love these towels, I have been using them for years."
• "These are particularly great for mopping up grease deposits and spills, as they have a woven fibre construction that holds more liquid."
• "Great blue roll, super strong and absorbent. Mops up spills, grease and oil easily."
• "Everyone needs some shop towels; these are my go-to brand. Super soft and absorbent won't fall apart when scrubbing or using with chemicals."
• "These are the gold-standard platinum tier blue cloth."
• "Feels soft like a cloth, doesn’t leave tiny lint all over glass like regular paper towels, and absorbs much more per square than all of those so it actually ends up being cheaper."
• "For paper towel they're incredibly tough."

Cons:

• "But they can't scrub like a good disposable, industrial shop rag can."
• "However if you’re using them for painting purpose they’re terrible as soon as you wipe something down with any sort of solvent or acetone or alcohol they tear and leave tons of link and debris behind."
• "They tear and fall apart more easily."
• "But these are quite linty, and are basically expensive thin paper towels dyed blue."
• "These towels are a hybrid between a conventional paper towel and a shop rag."
• "These shop towels work well when they are dry but rip right up when they get wet."
• "I find myself wiping a smooth surface with the same qualities as an eggshell and the paper towel just starts to shred..... even when used with water or alcohol."

Size and Packaging

Pros:

• "The rolls from my previous order were 43.6 sq ft. The rolls I received on my last order are 39.5 sq ft."
• "These are made for all around shop use and they are designed well. Lint free and more absorbent than typical kitchen paper towels."
• "These towels come with 12 rolls included in the box so they will last a real long time."
• "This pack of 12 heavy duty towels arrived boxed which each roll individually wrapped in plastic."
• "Each roll is nice and large, you have 55 tough sheets on each roll."
• "In this box you get 12 individually wrapped blue towels, comprising of 55 individual sheets."
• "Plus this package I bought came with each roll individually wrapped."

Cons:

• "These rolls are Half of what the role usually is."
• "Shrinkflation is not a good look for this product. Towel rolls are smaller with larger cores."
• "The overall circumference of a roll is almost half the size of the old rolls."
• "The rolls are skinny and not full sized."
• "Purchase these expecting to get full-size rolls what I got instead was about a half a size roll."
• "I use these for tattooing and don’t not trust the cleanliness of using a roll that hasn’t been wrapped."
• "This time they came is a 6 pack that isn't individually packaged. Unfortunate for storage at my shop."
