Skoy Cloth - Paper Towels are OUT!

Skoy Cloth.
Sounds all spacey and cool huh?
Oh it is.

I recently came across Skoy Cloth while looking for a better option when it came to cleaning up wet messes and scrubbing down the kitchen, bathroom and dishes. I normally run to my paper towels or to those yellow and white checkered kitchen rags that stain and fall apart after 2 uses. I hated buying paper towels only to see them pulled off two and three long and wasted on a small clean-up job!! Seemed like such a waste!

Well, I found my solution in Skoy Cloth! They boast a better cloth that is also environmentally friendly! Did you know that 2.5 million tons of paper towels are used annually!? The Skoy Cloth is made from renewable and raw materials such as cellulose (a derivative of wood) and cotton! One Skoy Cloth is comparable to 15 rolls of paper towels! What savings!!!

I read on their website that the Skoy Cloth could hold up to 15x it's weight...so I decided to do a little experiment.

I  measured out a 1/2 cup of water.


Then I dropped in a sweetly designed Skoy Cloth...


I sat back and watched it do it's job...


...all of the 1/2 cup of water was gone in a few seconds! Then I could wring out my Skoy Cloth and clean off my counters!

The Skoy Cloth was also amazing on a soda spill...

 

Again, it absorbed the spill in a matter of seconds...leaving my counter top dry to the touch!


I'm sold!! These are the best alternative, without the expensive pricetag!!

The awesome thing that I learned is that they can last at least 50 wash cycles (you can wash them in your dishwasher or washing machine) and may last up to a year or more!!!! That's crazy!

I checked out the Skoy Cloth website and learned that you can keep your SKOY cloth germ-free by microwaving it daily when damp for 1-2 minutes. This will also remove possible bad smell that is caused by bacteria. That is def. a plus! No one likes a stinky towel!

I would use the Skoy Cloth around my kitchen sink... I get water everyyyyywhere when I wash the dishes. (Yes... I am the dishwasher... hopefully one day we will have an appliance to do that job for me!).
