Yup, that Skoy Cloth.
When Karen, co-owner of Skoy Cloths, contacted me about doing a review you know I said Yes!
I use a similar product and have been very happy with it so I was eager to compare the two.
Let me tell you, I am just as happy with Skoy Cloths! They work wonderfully.
- Each SKOY is approximately 7”x 7”
- Made using water-based colors and inks
- Can be cleaned by placing in the dishwasher, washing machine, or microwave
- Made in Germany but package in the USA (click here to read about the factory)
- Is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels
- Made from natural cotton & wood-pulp cellulose
- Saves $ and tress!
- Come in a variety of colors; orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, purple, & white
The different colors are a nice way to keep their uses separate (blue for bath, yellow for kitchen).
They actually remind me a little of a car shammie. Before you use them you have to moisten them, squeeze out the excess water, and then wipe away.
I really like using them on my sinks, especially the stainless steel sink in my kitchen. I use the baking soda and vinegar and scrub with my yellow Skoy and off comes the yuck without leaving any residue behind. That is the part that I like the most. No left over residue. I can literally wipe once and up comes the dirt, grim, and cleaner without having to go over and over the same spot. After I am done I pop it in the microwave and then lay it out to dry. Good as new!
I have also found that I can use a smalled amount of my Method All Surface Cleaner™ because the cleaner does not soak into the cloth. Another bonus!
The more I use them the more I love them! Now you get a chance to love them too! The kind folks at Skoy Cloth are giving 2 of my readers Skoy Cloths of their own (Thanks gals!)

What I learned
According to a scientific study microwaving a wet sponge for 2 minutes is an effective method to sterilize it and kill the bacteria (click on WebMD to the right to read article).
Note: Make sure the SKOY cloth is wet when microwaving to avoid fires.
I blogged about it here

I learned that they reduce waste compared to paper towels and they break down with 5 weeks composting and 16 weeks in the city landfill. Thanks for the giveaway!

I certainly have heard of SKOY and would love to give them a try! I learned that they can be used by golfers to clean clubs as well, something my hubby would like!

This is awesome! I learned that to keep the "SKOY cloth germ-free is to microwave it daily when damp for 1-2 minutes. This will also remove possible bad smell that is caused by bacteria." That's a great tip--I may try that with other towels as well!

I had to laugh at the part of their website when it asked if you hate the smell the sponge leaves on your hand (bacteria)? That is one of my pet peeves! What a great product I blogged about it too!
Royal Ranch blogged about it.

SKOY works best on hard surfaces, such as counter tops, table tops, bookshelves, etc.

I learned you can clean golf clubs with these and the design on them was to make cleaning fun. I have been wanting to try these. I am crossing my fingers! Thanks! jacquecurl1@gmail.com
You can throw it in the washer to clean it. This looks wonderful.
I learned that Skoy was started by stay-at-home moms living in Encinitas, California.
Thanks!

I love SKOY cloths, and we use ours daily. I like that they're biodegradable and are easy to stash anywhere.
We recommend that after your SKOY cloth has past its prime, it can be used as a rag for heavier cleaning. Chlorine-use is not recommended.

I wouldn't have thought it would be better absorbing than microfiber. Who knew!
