Full Circle Totally Plant-Based Absorbent Sponge Cloths, 3-Pack

These have replaced sponges in my house for all but the toughest jobs. I mostly use them to wash anything that I don't want to put in the dishwasher -- which includes all non-stick pots and pans, even if they say they're dishwasher safe. (Read the info card again and you'll find this phrase on every one: "For best results, do not put in dishwasher." And when they recommend washing wish a dish cloth, this is what they're talking about, not a towel.) They will keep your non-stick working and looking its best, and that means that it lasts longer and the coating doesn't flake off into your food. It should also help to reduce the creation of microplastics when you’re hand-washing your full-size plastics. You can throw them in the microwave for cleaning, and my favorite feature: it is much, much easier to rinse the soap out of these than a regular sponge. Plus, it's not a petroleum plastic, as nearly all sponges on the market today are. I think you probably will have to replace them more often than a traditional sponge, and I think that it's worth it overall, given the benefits. Not only have I bought them again, I've subscribed!

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I used to be able to find these reusable paper towels at Target but the stopped selling it. I use it in the kitchen and it dries very fast and my husband likes to use it to dry his feet after his shower so it’s really very versatile. I’m hoping it doesn’t get discontinued

I ordered these cloths and received them very quickly. The shipping packaging was adequate, and the cloths came in their own plastic packaging for added protection. The size of the cloths are very nice. While these cloths would work well as dish cleaning cloths, I use them for cleanup around the kitchen after meal preparation; I clean the counters, table, stove top, microwave, etc. using them - they are great! they have thickness to them, which makes them super absorbent for cleaning. Rinse them in warm water, squeeze them out, and then wipe up spills in a jiff. The price is good, the product is good, the performance is good ... I won't hesitate to purchase more when needed. JANUARY 21, 2016 UPDATE: Just wanted to comment that I'm still on my 1st cloth. It's holding up quite well even though I use it several times daily. My one and only complaint is how stiff and ugly it is after it dries. No way around it I guess, but wish it wasn't such an eye sore in between use. Even so, glad I found these and will be purchasing more for they work great!

These cellulose cloths from Full Circle are a great for quick kitchen swipes! I found them to have better quality than others cellulose cloths I have tried and they are very easy to disinfect and take care off. I use this cloths daily in my kitchen to wipe spills, to do daily or more in-depth swipes of the counter tops, to wipe the sink (no streaks left behind), to wipe/clean the fridge and freezer, etc. Obviously they're not good for scrubbing (for that I use a cellulose sponge), but they are great for everything in between. They don't hold tons of water, but they are great for most spills that occur around the kitchen. Before using them I wet them (they dry out if you let them out in the air enough time) to get some moisture in, squeeze them well, than use them alone or with a cleaning/disinfectant solution. Once wet they are flexible, but not wimpy. Even with daily use I found the cloths from Full Circle to be very durable; other cellulose cloths usually start to `decompose` quite fast on me or at least show signs of tears after a couple of days/weeks. I mostly clean them by throwing them in the dishwasher, but sometimes I just microwave them (wet) for 1 minute. I had no issues with the cloths melting or showing the slightest sign of degradation after constant dishwasher washing. With constant cleaning they don't start developing bad scents. Out of the original packaging the cloths have an odd scent (but not too disturbing), quite similar to other cellulose scent. Once I started using them the scent fade off. They're also `moistened` (not wet) first out of the packaging, but they will dry out after use if left more than a day to air-dry.

I like to wash dishes by hand, so these sponge cloths are ideal for that as well as cleaning my glass cooktop and microwave oven interior. The surface is smooth on one side and slightly textured (quilted?) on the other, and the material dries quickly without becoming too stiff. Usually I cut each square in half or quarters so I can change to a new one every month or so. I see them occasionally at a local housewares store but for twice as much.

I started using these Full Circle microfiber cloths mainly for the kitchen, but ever since my mom visited, we’ve been using them for everything, from wiping counters to cleaning up spills under the coffee machine. She’s hooked, and now I am too. The absorbency is amazing, and they hold up well after multiple washes. My girlfriend even cut some into smaller pieces so we could stretch them further, smart move, and they still work great. We’ve gone through way fewer paper towels since switching, and honestly, I don’t see us going back. These are a solid 5-star buy.

worked great in cleaning up spills but started to smell and could not get rid of the smell

I am not one to generally write reviews, but I feel compelled to write one for this product. I bought these upon a recommendation from my mom, and I was super skeptical. But I was so happy that I listened to her (for a change ;) ). These cloths have reduced my paper towel usage SIGNIFICANTLY. They are so thick and durable, and hold up really well. Some of the reviews state that the cloth becomes very hard when it dries. That is true. The way you use these, even to clean up a spill, is that you first have to wet them and then they work like a charm. Personally, it doesn’t bother me to have to do that, just considering the impact to the environment and my wallet :) PS - I have been using one cloth for about 6 months now and it has help up very very well. Unlike the other reviewer, the Cloth has not come apart at all.

Best cloths to use for washing up and wiping.

These are GREAT! Really cleans well and absorbs water usually left behind when using a dish cloth for counters or anything. Clean well in washer (don't put in dryer) or dishwasher. Big hit with my friends when I gave them as add on gifts for them. No lint or streaks left behind on chrome taps etc. Very nice to use and last a long time.

Gosto muito. Funcional e prático.

great for cleaning, plastic free, dry fast for hygiene. Last well. Great product, just getting a little expensive

Buenísimas! Me encantaron absorben Perfecto y tienen buena resistencia. No absorbe olores fáciles de lavar en la lavavajillas, y lo mejor es que son ecológicas, compostables y hasta su empaque. Desde que las compre he buscado comprar más productos de la marca
