Surprisingly awesome., September 3, 2010
This review is from: DII Coastal Shades Heavyweight Dishcloth, Set of 8 (Kitchen)
I was not into the idea of switching from sponges to clothes for washing dishes, but my husband really wanted to go less germ-y and more environmentally friendly, so I agreed as long as I could choose the trial-run product. After reading tons of reviews for different dish cloths, I went with these, the DII heavyweight coastal shades (chose the lighter shades because of multiple reviews of bright colors running in first use).
I am shocked by how much I love using these for the dishes. We do not have a dishwasher, so I've used them to wash everything now from glasses to cutlery to bakeware; I actually think these cloths are more efficient (clean better and faster) than sponges because of the tight-knit weave (as opposed to porous squishyness), which was surprising to me. They are great for forks--much easier to remove stubborn bits from between the tines then when I used sponges.
Despite the tight weave, I didn't have trouble getting them soaked through with water the first time, and if you squeeze them out when finished and hang over the sink faucet, they dry reasonably fast.
They are slightly brighter/less muted than the image shows (although if you zoom in, it's pretty accurate) which I like.
I have not put them through the washing machine yet, so cannot comment on how they hold up after multiple washes. But as I don't intend to put them in the dryer, I imagine they will last a long time. Especially with eight in each pack.

Purchased these dishcloth from Amazon.com and they are the BEST I have ever purchased. I sincerely love them and I did not have to search everywhere for them. Thanks DII and Amazon.

very nice, June 17, 2010

One note. Red ones bleed a little the first time they get wet. After that no problems. Very thick and well made.
