SKOY Cloths: Review & Giveaway

And the winner is....
Comment #101
(chosen by random.org)
CONGRATULATIONS!

Okay, so I admit, I was skeptical.  It turns out, these are really nice to have around.  In fact, I think I would have loved them as a wedding present, or a baby shower present.


So, what are they?

SKOY clothes are reusable wipes.  They are somewhere between a paper towel and a thin sponge.  SKOY are great because they save a ton of paper towel, and the are easy to wash!  These cloths also do a great job cleaning messes.  I folded one up and put it in a baggie last week so I would have washing power on the road, it worked wonderfully!

We make a LOT of messes - I have a 1 year old and a 2 year old.. AND they're boys... did I mention that the 2 year old is wearing underpants most of the time --- messy!  SKOY cloths are GREAT at cleaning up.  Monkey does not look for a "napkin" everytime he spills things anymore, now he lookse for a "towel" (SKOY cloths)!  This has saved us a ton on paper products just in the last 2 weeks!

Here are a couple of pictures of a great test on the capabilities of the SKOY cloth - we had a problem with a cracked crock pot and had black bean juice crusted all over the counter, it even got a magazine wet and stuck it to the counter.  I let it sit until everything had dried out, then cleaned it up -- the crock pot burned the counter a bit so there is still a dark spot, but 1 SKOY cloth did this...

 
and then I washed the SKOY cloth out and cleaned up the high chair!

How to wash - stick it in your dishwasher or clothes washer!  You don't have to dry it because you use it wet!  You can also sanitize it in the microwave!

SKOY cloths are a fantastic product.  They are also very affordable, at $6.99 for a 4 pack.  These are great for the wallet and eco-friendly!  Think of all the money and trash you save by reusing a SKOY instead of hundreds of paper towels!

You can buy SKOY cloths on amazon.com

    I like that the reusable cloths will help alleviate the 2.5 Million Tons of paper towels that go into landfills every year (according to the Skoy website) and that they are quickly biodegradable once they are thrown away.
