The only problem with these dish cloths is that they shrink - a lot - in the first wash. They are big to start out, and shrink from 12" to about 8" square. Still big enough for dishes and wiping counters, so I will keep. I do like the colors. Read more

Super nice and thick ! Love them Read more

Bought these by mistake. Thought I purchasing kitchen towels. These are so handy. Extremely soft and they don’t hold on to too much water. A plus when you’re wiping a surface clean. Easy to wash and dry. Read more

These Urban Villa kitchen cloths get five stars for truly being absorbent. My last order of kitchen cloths (the Choicy microfiber cleaning cloth) were microfiber, and despite their claims of absorbency all they did was spread liquids/moisture around on my countertops, without absorbing much at all. Those are now being put to use as throw-away rags (greasy things, paint, caulking motor oil, etc). These dish cloths were 12 x 12 inch squares before I put them into a dryer, where they shrunk to 10 x 10. The shrinking didn't bother me at all, since (1) a ten inch square is plenty large for wiping-up around the kitchen, and (2) being advertised as 100% cotton, I expected them to shrink, and cotton is what makes these absorbent. If you prefer the 12 by 12 size, search for cotton towels that are either pre-shrunk, or ones that are 14 x 14 out of the package. Or simply line-dry them instead of putting them into the dryer. I personally won't be putting them in the dryer again, since the one thing I didn't like about these is that they come out of the dryer pretty wrinkled-up, to the extent of being difficult to fold & neatly place in your towel drawer (those pictures on the product page where they are perfectly folded: do NOT expect them to look like that for long). I'll hang-dry mine from now on to avoid this problem, since I'm certainly not going to waste my time ironing them! Lastly and speaking of line-drying, another great feature of these is that they are relatively thin & thus they dry quickly. Prior to ordering the aforementioned microfiber product, I'd found a set of six small washcloths at a local discount store. Those were also 100% cotton and were absorbent, but I was NOT happy with them at all, because they stayed wet for WAY too long. Perpetually moist towels are useless in my kitchen, since they will start stinking prematurely, and why even bother cleaning anything with a stinky rag. These Urban Villas, on the other hand, should be durable; when you use, rinse, wring-out, and hang them over the edge of your kitchen sink, they will be dry when you come back to them later. These are super functional kitchen rags. They are so absorbent and quick-drying that some inconsequential wrinkling is nothing I'd ever rate these downward for. At the 12 dollar price point for 8 of them, I would definitely purchase them again (these towels were NOT being offered on Vine, so I did actually buy them). Read more

These towels are great, nothing like the feel of pure cotton! I likes the old school kitchen in Italy look. Good quality! Read more
