Amazon Aware Bamboo Paper Towels, 6 Rolls, 2 ply, FSC Certified, 150 Sheets, 900 Count, Plastic-Free, Multicolor

Very impressed with the Bamboo! They feel thinner but are actually much stronger and much more absorbent than the sparkling brand paper towels that we’ve used for years. I am very curious to see about the shedding qualities and will report back later.

These are quite thin, so I end up using more of them than say, Brawny or Bounty. But I quite like them and feel like they’re less wasteful because they are so light and thin.

These paper towels are GREAT, although I was hoping they'd be colored, for my own stupid temporary amusement with them! They are all WHITE, but sometimes that's just what a person needs, such as when we might be wiping away BLOOD, you know? They DO last a long time per roll, so I'll keep on buying them. Softness doesn't matter to me, nor does odor or reusability; they're just PAPER TOWELS and that's the bottom line!

The 5 star review is in comparison to other bamboo paper towels. If you buy eco friendly paper towels and expect them to be like Brawny, etc. you will be disappointed. Chemical laden, environment destroying products are popular for a reason. I’ve introduced eco friendly cleaning products at every job I’ve had and invariably someone will complain that they don’t clean as well as Windex, etc. Duh! Chemicals are popular for a reason, but come at a great cost and I find eco friendly products work perfectly fine. Bamboo paper towels are stiffer and not as absorbent in general. These are by far the best bamboo paper towels I’ve tried and work fine for the things I use paper towels for. They are pretty similar in feel to 100% recycled paper towels. These only time I use “regular” paper towels is when I’m house training a puppy because the extra thickness and absorbency is a big help in that instance. About 7 or 8 years ago I invested in organic cotton reusable paper towels and a few years ago added WOWABLES Reusable and Biodegradable paper towel rolls, which are like thin Swedish dish cloths on a roll and about the size of a full size paper towel sheet. Between those two products I rarely use disposable paper towels any more and mainly use them for something really greasy or gross. With the reusable options it takes me about 6 months to go through a roll of paper towels, so the fact that they are a little stiff or a little thinner doesn’t really matter. It’s a nice back up to have, but there are better eco friendly options for most things you need a paper towel for. The FSC certification is a must and surprisingly hard to find with paper towels.

I'm weaning myself off paper products and really like these. 4-star because I wish the roll was bigger (had more sheets). I've never used another brand of bamboo paper towel, so I can't compare it to anything similar. Prior to this, I used Kirkland, which I love for the size of the roll and durability. However, sustainability requires some trade-offs. Bamboo grows fast and can be harvested over & over again vs. cutting down trees. Smaller roll but no plastic wrap or packaging! Not as thick as other traditional paper towel brands, but holds up well for spills. I use cloth towels for major cleaning anyway. I use these to mop up coffee drips, in place of napkins when I run out, and when I wash and eat fruit. Works just fine and I can compost it afterwards. I tried to capture the size of each sheet in my photo. I use one sheet at a time as much as possible, but the teenagers use more. We're on an every-other-month Subscribe and Save order. Yes, I'm paying more, BUT, our planet is paying more for our (in)actions and I'm trying to do what I can to shrink my footprint. Also, there's either no or only light adhesive at the end of the roll so easy to get that last piece without it tearing to shreds.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: I really wanted to like this product, which is why I went to the trouble of buying something which is better for the world, not wrapped in plastic, composed of a more eco-substance, and much less cushy and absorbent. But the one thing that is absolutely driving me nuts about this product, and I wish I could tell the manufacture this directly and not just Amazon, is that their machinery that they used to punch the separation points is deficient. Every single one of the towel sheets I attempt to rip off any one of these rolls fails because they have not punched all the way through so that the sheet rips off. This may sound trivial, but this will be a reason why I will never buy this again because every single sheet I try to pull off is not a sheet it’s a partial sheet and then there’s a weird trailing rag attached to the next one which gets even worse when you try to rip that one off. Net net, please tell whatever white label manufacturer is behind this to fix their machinery and think about the actual usage.

Great all purpose, stiff paper towels. They are reusable depending on what your picking up. It be nice if they came in a full sheet aswell and the short sheets they currently come in. I wouldnt worry about the thickness. The paper is almost Printer paper like, and less like a spung or wash cloth. Great for wipeing things down, not so good for soaking things up. For sure these are for light to medium cleanups. They are not thick and heavy soking like the Scott Shop Towels. On a side note, packaging is awesome looks great in the pantry.

I love these paper towels. I like the fact that they are treeless and better for the environment. I find that although they aren’t super soft, they are durable and absorbent.
