Earth-friendly Skoy Cloth Review and #Giveaway! US/Can

Michelle and Karen, the lovely ladies behind Skoy, started preparing to start their business after finding out 2.5 million tons of paper towels were being dumped into our landfills, annually! I find that rather disturbing as well...I am happy that I hardly contribute to that.
I rarely use paper towels in my house. I do not use them to wipe down the counter tops, or to clean messy hands or faces. I simply use a wash cloth for any reason someone would use a paper towel. After each time I cook, I wipe down the counter tops with a cloth and I use the same rag for one day and toss into the laundry basket.

I had the opportunity to review a set of 4 Skoy cloths. I could not wait to give these a try.
The fact that they come in a variety of colors is genius! I figured I could use one color for cleaning the counter tops/dusting,etc and I could use another color for cleaning up hands and faces, after meals. After all, I wouldn't want to use the same cloth for both.
The many uses for Skoy:
  • wiping down counter tops,sinks
  • dusting dressers, changing table, furniture
  • great for cleaning up spills~these cloths are very absorbent!
  • wiping man-n-cheese(or other food) faces/hands
There was only one use that I was not completely satisfied with~ cleaning glass or mirrors. I was not able to get a streak-free shine using the Skoy and my usual glass cleaner. That doesn't affect the way I feel about these cloths. I am more than satisfied with all the uses I AM able to get out of them.
One of my favorite reasons to love Skoy is that they are completely washable! I have been using the same 2 skoys for about a month now and they have been washed more than 10 times! They are holding up very well and I can tell they still have lots of uses to them. Skoy cloths can also be microwaved, to prevent bacteria growth. I have done this a few times but don't really feel the need, since I pop them in the washer often. One last reason to love them...they are 100% biodegradable cloths since they are made from a natural cotton and wood-based cellulose pulp.

  13. Skoj (pronounced Skoy) is a Swedish word that means: “just for fun.” Very cool. The mama discovered this cloth when she lived in Europe.

  20. In an average household, each SKOY cloth saves 15 rolls of paper towels! That's a lot of paper towels, and my husband is a paper towel freak. Drives me crazy because we have TONS of kitchen cloths, right there in the drawer.

    At least I'd know I was using them :)
