Utopia Towels 12 Pack Cotton Washcloths Set, 100% Ring Spun Cotton, Premium Flannel Face Cloths, Highly Absorbent and Soft Feel Fingertip Towels, Grey

Arrived within a few hours after placing the order. After reading the 1, 2 and 3 star reviews after placing my order I was a little apprehensive about what I would receive. My apprehension disappeared after I opened and inspected the cloths. I found 24 evenly sized wash cloths, very nice to the touch and as soft as they should be. The next step is to wash/dry them. Prior to washing I decided to put them into the dryer utilizing the Refresh/Steam cycle.With so many of the reviews stating that the lint and fuzz that was coming off and leaving the cloth in a bare thread state, I was curious to see how these would hold up. I allowed the dryer to perform its steam cycle and afterwards I checked the lint trap only to find what I would consider to be an acceptable amount of lint. No more than what would come out with the same amount of new socks.The towels were very soft and the shrinkage was not noticeable enough to make any difference to me. I decided to wash them so I placed them by themselves into the washing machine. Using only bleach and no soap AND COLD WATER ONLY, I started the wash cycle and crossed my fingers. When they were done I put them into the dryer and dried them in medium/low heat. I inspected the lint trap at the end of the dryer cycle to find only a very tiny amount of lint. I was surprised but even more impressed when I checked the size of the cloths and found that they have not decreased in size at all and they were still so soft and fluffy. The picture is of them after coming out of the dryer and after being folded. I am very pleased with these and after inspecting the edge hems and finding a good perimeter stitch I can conclude that they should hold up for a while. I would recommend these if asked about them and when I need more then I will buy them again from Utopia.I would like to address the numerous reviews that have such big issues with hanging threads. I noticed that everyone of the cloth’s had at least 2 threads coming out from a corner. The same corner on all the cloth’s. They are the tie-off threads that always trails the sewing machine foot and usually are clipped manually by someone else prior to packaging. To have a more accurate clipping on ALL of the cloth’s would mean that the cost per wash cloth would shoot way up. So to keep the cost down the manufacturer has reduced the time spent on each item by 3-5 seconds. Imagine a room full of sewing machines producing tens of thousands of cloth’s daily and each one taking an extra 3-5 seconds per unit. That adds up to a definite cost increase in production. So, if you want a small price tag then expect a few corners to be cut in production. A top notch premium wash cloth for use in 4/5 star hotels has a thread count of 700 GSM and a price tag of about $4.00 each compared to the price tag of $.80 cents for these that have only a 100 GSM thread count.Now for those who complain about the dyes bleeding out of the colored ones. I have NEVER seen any newly dyed anything that doesn’t bleed out and will continue to bleed out wash after wash. Up to 6-12 washing the bleeding can continue. I was taught by my mother at a very young age that you should NEVER EVER wash any NEW or NEWLY dyed material with ANYTHING else that is a different color or material. NO water temperature other than COLD for the very first time in the machine. Both wash and rinse cycles should be done in as cold of water as possible. If possible allow the machine to pause following the agitation cycle and allow the clothes to soak in the COLD water for at least 10 minutes.THE COLDER THE BETTER! NEVER EVER USE ANY SOAP OR BLEACH OR SOFTENERS during this FIRST washing of the dyed items. NEVER attempt to rewash the same load of clothes before they have been completely dried. Lastly, the drying process. Doing a tumble dry with no heat would be great but would take forever so for the first time ever in a dryer using the lowest temperature for the beginning of the cycle and then increasing the temperature to medium at the end of the drying cycle would be best. I was also told to NEVER place newly dyed wet clothes outside in the sunlight to dry.ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT MEANT TO CLEAN BUT TO SET THE DYES AND LOCK THE COLORS.Subsequent washing and drying should be done as you would normally do. My mother told me that the best way to tell if dye bleeding has stopped is to place a small WHITE piece of material into the wash and then check it after washing and then place it in the dryer with the others and inspect it again after drying. A much cheaper method than having to replace clothes that have been ruined by bleeding of dyes.I am a 70 year old man who lived in a time when Rit dyes were more commonly used to rejuvenate the “hand-me-downs”. Like getting a whole new wardrobe as a kid. HahahaI hope that this helps some of you that seem to throw up your arms and declare that a product is garbage because of a simple dye bleed. Good luck and happy washing.I LIKE MY NEW UTOPIA WASH CLOTHS!

I used these postpartum to hold myself together… lol. I threw them away pretty much after each use, do to the nature of what I was using them for. Since I knew I wouldn’t be keeping them long term, I didn’t want to spend an outrageous amount on bulk towels, so I settled on these as the price per towel was great. However, once I got them I was actually very impressed on the quality for the price point. I ended up keeping a few that I didn’t use initially for purpose intended that I use for a makeup towel. Not super soft, but great for what I use them for! Absorb very well. I actually ended up recommending these to my other postpartum moms in my group!

I own a cleaning business and these towels are the best I have found to clean my clients homes! Super absorb,softness and the texture is perfect, the only towels I use. The 12×12 and maybe a little lint until they are washed a couple times,LOVE THEM!!!

They are a good general purpose wash cloth. I highly recommend washing first. i put them in the washer and the water turned purple\blue for 2 washings. Other than that there grate.

I bought the 24 pack! Wow! I did get a lot! The washcloths, while thick and sturdy, did 'shed' quite a bit of lint in the bath tub. I washed all of them in the washing machine 3 times to stop them from 'shedding'. For the price, however, they are worth buying. I do like their thickness. The 'shedding' would not likely bother someone who only takes a shower ... the lint would just go down the drain.

This has to be the third time I've ordered these washcloths. I love them. They wash well.They're great for use in our bathroom, they're good quality and they're bleachable

These are super soft. Bought them for makeup removal. Doesn’t get hardened like other terry cloth. If you get a dark color, do prewash with like colors. Will buy again

WARNING I ordered the navy blue rags for bathing "private" parts. I tested them to see if they faded soon as I got them as I do everything. They FADE!!!!! So I washed them, still same amount of fading. Washed again putting a little bleach in them, same fading. Rinsed only, same results. Went on line to see how to remove excess dye in clothing. They recommended an over night soak in strong bleach water. I did that. Washed and dried again. Tested and they are still discoloring the water a touch. Of course they looked awful coming out of the overnight bleach water, but I knew that going in. After all that I now have to use them for cleaning around the house. Pros, they are a pretty good made rag for the price and what you plan to use them for. I hate that I wasted $17. Can't even donate them because of how ugly they are after the bleach baths. I would order light colors if I were you.
