I use these towels in the kitchen and am very happy with it. I first ordered in a double pack with tea towels and then ordered the same two packs to me after a few washes. I like these towels because they are small. Just so great that I can put my hand splayed out well. I find that to work optimally. It annoys me when cleaning cloths only need to be folded several times before you can get started. They absorb the liquid and can be wrung well. The cleaning effect is in my view no better than other microfiber towels, but no worse. Since the towels are very thick they dry slowly and then quickly smell musty, but that does not bother me because I often change anyway. They can be washed at 95 degrees and tumble dry. I have not yet put in the dryer and therefore can not judge how they are then. Washing, they can be in any case well and after 95 degrees wash also any odor is gone. The only drawback: it dissolved so far in 2 cloths (total of 12) something the seams but what I have sewn myself again. That is why a star deduction. Nevertheless, I will continue to buy them because they are perfect for the way I work.
