SIMPLI-MAGIC 79141 Shop Towels 14"x12", Pack of 150, Red

For my small business just use them and when they get dirty throw them away. They’re very well made and will clean a lot being new and clean. They work great after changing diesel, hydraulic, engine, oils. One rag will clean up a good size puddle of oil. Have even used them to clean glass, windshields, etc.

They’re perfect for what I do in the construction business and I can use them several times

These are great if you have the right expectations for them. We bought them to replace paper towels (not completely, but for all non-gross uses).Pros are that they are a good size and function similarly to paper towels as far as absorbency and "pick-up" ability, and there are a bunch of them. I held back half of the 150 so that I have them ready to go when the ones in use start wearing out or get so stained I can't stand it. We also use them as napkins for casual use.Cons (but not a big deal for us) are that they vary in shape (generally rectangular, but some excess on some corners), vary in roughness (some are loosely woven and softer and some more tightly woven and rougher). Also the serging on the edges to keep them from unravelling is pretty poorly done, so after a number of washes start unravelling on a small percentage of the towels. I have a serger machine, so I can easily serge around the entire towel when this starts to happen, but if you don't have a serger or a regular sewing machine to fold the edge over twice and stitch, some will eventually start to fray very badly. The listing says they don't recommend washing them in a washing machine, but for five months I have been washing them once or twice a week on hot with an extra rinse and they have held up well without having to serge fraying towels too often. For the price and number of towels, they are a very good deal and I would expect not to have to order another set for a few years.

So 150 is alot and I know the price is cheap. So with that being said, as the other reviewer Yes they have a strong chemical smell. I washed them immediately! There was so much lent that shed from them. Just in case your sensitive to dust be cautious . I am sure it will take a few washes to get the lent and smell out. I plan to use them to replace napkins that's why they are rolled up. The quality is what you pay for.... they ran, shed, frayed on 1 wash. I have not tested them for quality of absorption. I believe it will serve its purpose. Tbc.....So This was a really good purchase they are lasting really good still sheds cotton. I use them for napkins. The smell finally left. I wash by hand and air dry. This can also play a role in the shedding. If you have a washer and dryer I assume it would go away faster. But over I am very pleased.

I understood before I bought these that shop towels are already very thin. These are indeed thin and not very absorbent. I already expected this when I bought them in this huge amount.The reason why I bought them is so that I can try to step away from paper towels and using these more often. I won't feel bad for throwing a couple away here and there because there are so many of them. I fontnreally expect these to last forever but they're decent enough to use often even if I have to use one or two.If you dont like that then these towels aren't really for you. I am just giving you how it is. I knew what I was getting when I bought them.

They do what a rag is supposed to do.

Great size, absorbent, washes great!

I have purchased these shop towels 3 times and they have been great, but this time the material is thinner and ravels around the edges bad. Quality just not as good!

Just plain shop towels , recommend you wash them if using for french polish or danish oil finishes before using.

Trop petit

this is NOT as stated is not cotton but blended with unknown would not buy if i were you

This is not very good product. Total disguising! A rag in the shed isn’t this bad!
