Eco-Friendly Cleaning Rags

Ditch Paper Towels for SKOY Cloths

— December 13, 2008 — Eco
They’re more powerful than fifteen rolls of paper towel, made of wood pulp and cotton, completely biodegradable, incredibly absorbent, reusable, and pretty to look at--what’s not to love about SKOY cloths?

SKOY cloths don’t leave lint behind, and because they dry quickly, nasty, smelly bacteria don’t have much time to grow. They remain surprisingly odorless, even after wiping up spilled milk.

SKOY cloths also last longer than you might think. You can put them in the dishwasher for a bath, or in the microwave for a de-germing treatment. The bright colors are water-based and non-toxic.

If you have doubts, check out the video above. SKOY is part of the Green Cleaning Coach’s toolkit.

As if all that isn’t enough, SKOY cloth works better than paper towels. I’ve been using one for nearly a year and it still hasn’t worn out. When it has finally seen its last day, I’ll toss it into the compost bin.

Yep. SKOY even makes worms happy.
