As others have said, these towels do not dry dishes or pots and pans--they just kind of smear the water around. They seem to work well enough on hands, though. Also, I had to wash and dry them many times to get rid of the fuzz they were leaving on clean dishes. They're not worth the hassle. And I bought eight at the higher price! I got my old towels out of the basement closet again. I'll use them while the search continues.

I liked the color selection and the attached loop to hang them with. But these towels do not absorb water to any practical degree. I cannot recommend them to anyone, as they cannot perform their primary purpose.

The dishcloth is quite sturdy and will probably last forever but...it's difficult to rinse and keep clean. I wipe down the counter and everything sticks to it and won't rinse off. I don't know how most people are but I like to use my dish cloth more than once and these never really seem clean. I used them right away and they bled a little in hot water but I put them through the wash and nothing was stained so no worries there. I'm just not real thrilled with them and would be happier if Amazon carried the Cannon or KitchenAid dishcloths.

I had looked everywhere for red & black dishclothes and was happy to finally discover these. The color choices are wonderful and they are a bit oversized which is nice, but I bought them as dishclothes and they do not absorb water. At all. I've tried washing them to no avail. Now I have four perfectly colored dishclothes that are basically useless.

This is supposed to be a dish cloth? It's way too small to do anything. (it's the size of a face towel) It was a waste buying it.

Much smaller than expected. Good for use to dry your hands, but not great to dry dishes. They are attractive though.

I had previously bought a KITCHEN towel and we loved it. I wanted a second one and ended up buying a DISH CLOTH unknowingly instead since that was the one that came up when I went looking for it.
The cost of sending it back would've been almost the price of the towel so we kept it. It was much smaller and much less exorbitant in the kitchen towel. Buyer beware!Calphalon Checked Terry Kitchen Towel, Black LicoriceCalphalon Terry Dish Cloth, Black Licorice

Before you buy this item, check out the Calphalon website. MSRP for the dish cloth is only $3.99. Amazon.com is charging $6.99. When I complained to customer service, I just received a canned answer about how they cannot monitor all their prices.

Just like the dish towels the dish clothes are extra thick and should last a long time. Finally a nice set of kitchen dish towels and dish clothes. I'm so glad I ordered them.

They are great as hand towels or quick hot pads, but not for drying a bunch of dishes. They are a bit larger than your everyday washcloth.
