Skoy Cloth Review

I was very excited to have the opportunity to review Skoy Cloths in our house!  As you've probably read before, I really try to not use paper towels in the house anymore and instead use rags for clean up and washcloths to clean off the kids hands and face.  I came across a few blog reviews of Skoy Cloths and immediately went to their website, because the product really intrigued me.  It is a reusable, washable and 100% biodegradable cloth that is used instead of paper towels and sponges.   One Skoy Cloth can be used over and over again to replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels!! 

Skoy was founded by two stay-at-home moms (Michelle & Karen) who live in Encinitas, California.
"Our story is quite simple. We had a desire to share a cloth that is better than any cloth we have ever used and was environmentally friendly.  We started to do a little research and were shocked to see how people were cleaning their kitchens. We were even more shocked to find out how many tons of paper towels were being used annually (2.5 million tons) and filling up our landfills." 


I received a package of 4 Skoy Cloths and couldn't wait to try them out - I loved how the package had 4 different colored cloths in it - it made it much easier to keep track of which one I was using for dishes and which ones for cleaning.  I must say, that these reallly do work well!  They work great at cleaning up my kitchen counters, the kitchen table and even the sink!  Everything comes out clean without leftover residue.  And when I'm done cleaning, I can either run them through the dishwasher, throw in the washing machine when putting on a load of laundry, or even pop it in the microwave for a minute (when wet) to clean it.  Very easy :) 

Here are some facts about Skoy Cloths:

*Each SKOY Cloth is approximately 7”x 7”

* They are made using water-based colors and inks

*Easy cleaning: place in the dishwasher, washing machine, or microwave

*Is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels

*Super absorbent - up to 15x it's own weight

*Long lasting - can last up to 50 wash cycles

*Made from a blend of natural cotton and cellulose from wood.


So if you're interested in trying some out for yourself, head over to Skoy's website to purchase some of your own - they are only $6.99 for 4 cloths!  (Much cheaper than buying 15 rolls of paper towels!)

* I was not compensated for this review - I did receive a free sample of 4 Skoy Cloths. All opinions included in this post are my own. *
