Know before you buy
The 100% cotton flannel material is designed to naturally cling to itself. Once you roll the towels onto an empty cardboard tube, they stay securely in place on your existing holder, allowing you to tear them off one by one just like traditional paper towels.
Yes, we recommend washing the towels before their first use. This helps the cotton fibers soften and increases their overall absorbency for better performance on spills.
Yes, the cotton flannel construction is designed to be lint-free, making them an excellent choice for dusting and streak-free cleaning on glass, mirrors, and polished surfaces.
These towels are machine washable and can be tumble dried or hung to dry. Because they are made of durable 100% cotton with serged edges, they hold up well to repeated laundering and actually become softer over time.
Because they are made from 100% cotton, these towels are fully compostable at the end of their life cycle. You can simply add them to your home compost bin once they are no longer suitable for cleaning.
