Featured in Rodale.com's "A+ Guide to Green School Supplies"
"I'm Not a Paper Towel" was featured in Time Out Chicago's Shopping & Style section!

We developed "The Everything Cloth" as an affordable, versatile tool that can help you cut back on multiple use-&-toss items, including disposable napkins, tissues, wet wipes and paper towels.

It's been estimated that the average school-age child generates 67 pounds of waste each school year from bringing lunch alone. Our Everything Cloth is an affordable way to reduce waste by kicking the paper napkin habit. The blend of hemp and organic cotton is soft and durable, so it's perfect for use at home or in a packed lunch. Once you make the switch to our reusable napkins, you'll be surprised by how little washing they require. Plus, you'll cut consumption of thousands of paper items each year. Remember, you don't have to be perfect. Even if you only use the Everything Cloth to replace some paper items, the net impact over time will still be significant!

Design and Functionality
Once you make the switch to reusable napkins, you'll be surprised by how little washing they require and how many paper napkins and towels you stop consuming. Soft but durable, reuseit hemp napkins can be used again and again. Plus, they're lightweight, so they fold up small enough to pack in a lunch bag. Use them as part of your waste-free lunch kit to save money and spare the landfills of paper waste.

Materials
Each napkin is made with 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton. Hemp products outlast their competition by many years. Not only is hemp strong, it also holds its shape, which means less stretching and more durability. Better yet, hemp doesn't wear out, it wears in. The more you use your hemp products, the softer they get. Learn more about hemp.

Organic cotton is a far-superior alternative to chemical-laden conventional cotton. More and more farmers around the world are growing cotton without harmful chemicals. Their yield is high and the quality of the cotton they grow is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton. Their methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improving the quality of soil and often using less water.

Sustainability
Made to last and designed to be reused over and over again, these environmentally-friendly and reusable napkins can help eliminate thousands of throwaway paper napkins and towels. Rather than tossing paper napkins into the trash as soon as they are dirty, these hemp and organic cotton napkins are designed to be used several times, thrown into the washing machine and used again. Start saving money, since our napkins help you cut down on wasteful paper napkins or paper towels. Plus, organic cotton and hemp are grown without harmful chemicals, supporting biodiversity, a healthy ecosystem and improving the quality of soil.

5.0 Great little napkins!

Comments about Product:

I use these daily at work for snacks & lunches and feel so much better about not wasting tons of paper towels. The size is just right - I don't want a huge dinner napkin on my desk. They also wash up very well! I do wish they came packaged in

5's so there would be one for every weekday - guess I'll just have to buy an extra set.

The napkins are good color. They are a little flimsy: thin and not very big. We use our napkins every day and they take a lot of abuse. I think these might not stand up to it like a bigger, tighter weave would.

Comments about Product:

Comments about Product:

These napkins are great! I bought them mostly for my boys' lunches, but also bought a few for the table to see if I like them--and I do. They are soft and large enough for our needs. Best of all, I don't have to literally throw money away buying paper napkins! I plan to purchase more.

Comments about Product:

I ordered these for my son's lunch box. I wanted to have a completely green, no-waste lunch box. Perfect size for the lunch box. My son actually uses them (!) and doesn't lose them. Easy to clean - I throw them in the washing machine and then let them air dry. The LunchSkins Sandwich Bag was the last addition to our waste-free lunch box

5.0 great product

Comments about Product:

These napkins are exactly what I was looking for to replace paper napkins for every day use. The napkins have stood up well to frequent washing, are soft and absorbent, and are a great size for casual meals (they are smaller than formal dinner napkins which I like). Nice colors, too. I ordered one set in each color and they mix and match well.

5.0 Nice napkins

Comments about Product:

These are nice to stick in my lunchbox that I take to work. They seem sturdy and will replace a lot of napkins. I have the dark blue ones so nothing dark shows up on them. After washing, I could see some oil left over from salad dressing but maybe I just need to use more laundry detergent on those spots. I like them!

5.0 Hemp Napkins...Use and Use and Love

Comments about Product:

I have three sets of these. Really like the size and the feel and that I am not wasting paper.



I would like to thank the AWESOME reuseit customer service for their efforts with my order. One set that I ordered had an odd shape....apparently in the cutting and hemming the manufacturer was thinking trapezoid napkins would be nice to try. Didn't quite work for me ;D but not a problem. Customer service responded pronto and took care of the problem.



I love you Reuseit!

Comments about Product:

I have all the colors but the purple... They are GREAT for reducing all the paper napkins in my home! If I had to complain, I guess I'd have to say they are pretty wrinkly- you'd have to iron them (but who has time/energy for that?).

5.0 Back for more

Comments about Product:

These are exactly what I wanted. They are NOT as big as a typical cloth dinner napkin so if you want a huge/lap-size napkin you will be disappointed. These napkins are 12" square--about the size of a standard paper towel. They are soft, lightweight, and even though I disregard the care instructions and machine dry them, the edges have not curled up. As someone else noted, the blue ones don't show stains or grease at all. I bought one set to try and have been using them up and then wishing I had more once they're all in the hamper to be washed. They do a great job of replacing the paper towel I usually use as a napkin with meals because I actually prefer these to the disposable equivalent. More colors would be nice.

5.0 Great Napkins!

Comments about Product:

I bought these napkins to help reduce our paper product waste and I am so glad I did! I love how soft they are! The care instruction say that they should be line dried but I toss them in the dryer and they come out fine! Maybe they shrunk a little bit at first but not bad enough to stop me from using the dryer in the future, it's just easier for me.

5.0 ... almost like paper towels

Comments about Product:

I purchased the natural color of these hemp napkins. I was a little concerned because I strongly dislike cloth napkins because they just seem to spread the oils(When I go to a fancy restaurant I always have to go to the bathroom to get paper towels).



I tried out my hemp napkin (it is only 55% hemp and 45% cotton) and was pleasantly surprised. I had to try it with my oil based salad dressing... and one napkin did the job. Then I had to try more! I went to Pizza Hut and got the greasiest wings I could (Traditional with no sauce) and tried my napkin. This napkin feels almost like a paper towel, just a little softer, and takes the oils off my hands! It is BETTER than a paper towel because it does not get soggy and tear. Where I would have used ten paper towels, I used 1 napkin for lunch and dinner and it still had room to take more. (Also, the natural does not seem to show the oils... but I cannot really tell, yet).



I will pack these napkins in my new Laptop Lunch box every day and save on paper towel use. I am SOOOO HAPPY with these napkins, they are not like fancy cloth napkins AT ALL!

Comments about Product:

We've been using these for several weeks now. They have held up well and are much softer on my kids faces than paper product. I purchased all 5 colors. The natural/white shows stains a bit more than the others, as expected. I'm quite pleased and would purchase them again.

5.0 Best napkins ever!

Comments about Product:

I bought 3 sets of these and keep them in a dish on the centre of my kitchen table. When anyone needs a napkin, they're right there! These wash up so nicely and dry in seconds on the outdoor line. These are also a great size to use for packed lunches. I'm going to buy a couple more sets for sure!! Highly recommend making the switch to cloth napkins and these are the best value going considering they are made from organic cotton & hemp!

5.0 Hemp Napkins Set of 4

Comments about Product:

These are wonderful. Sturdy, beautiful colors and the size is perfect for all of my napkin needs. I received these a month ago and have already put them through the wash several times. If they dry, they will shrink a bit, and the ends get a little crinkly unless they are ironed, reminds me of a linen napkin. The texture is wonderful and can be used for a handkerchief also, it is soft enough. My favorite color is the Acorn! So bright and sunny, it adds cheer to any table setting. Some have mentioned that the size is too small. I think other napkins are too big! So it just depends on your preference.

5.0 Great Alternative to Paper

Comments about Product:

I bought 8 of these napkins and use them whenever I can. It's amazing how may paper napkins that I have been able to avoid using since purchasing these napkins. They're not too large or too heavy and this makes them much easier to use than the fancy (and unpractical) cloth napkins found at department stores. They wash well and dry quickly. I will be buying more.

5.0 Right size for small hands

Comments about Product:

I wanted to start using cloth napkins to cut down on the paper napkins my two kids use. Other cloth napkins I found were very large and more expensive. These are a great size for adult and children, and are light weight and not stiff. I purchased the gold and purple ones and I like the colors, but one of our gold ones is now permanently dark blue spotted because of a blueberry incident! The purple ones don't really show stains. We are all happy with these napkins and saving lots of paper napkins.

Comments about Product:

These "napkins" are more handkerchief than dinner napkin in terms of size, which I probably should have noticed before ordering ... nonetheless, they shouldn't be billed as napkins. the color and fabric are nice. I am going to use them for my kids lunches, which will be perfect, but don't put them out at dinner for guests!

4.0 Nice and soft and also small

Comments about Product:

I love the soft feel and the natural look of these hemp & cotton napkins, however, they are small in size. After washing they are 11 inches square. They are a lighter feel than most cloth napkins -so they don't have that heavy fiber feel of linen or blends. I like the lightness and I find the size good for everyday dinner napkins for my family. Plus for my family I don't feel the need to iron them (the hems twist up a bit - so would do best dried on a line or flat, not in a dryer). I will use grandma's 'good' linen cloth napkins for dinner parties.

Comments about Product:

Pros: Easy to clean, very sturdy, well made, pretty.



Cons: Wrinkle easily, a bit small for dinner.



I have the green set and we now use these napkins every day, at every meal. They are a bit small for dinner napkins, but they are perfect for lunch boxes, a quick nose rub (if that's your thing) and work well for dinner, too--just smaller in size than I am used to. These will only get softer with use.

I use one per week (as long as there aren't any big spills or messes that I use them on) and toss them in the wash at the end of the week. I wrap it around my utensils to take to work for lunch. They're so convenient and great!

One gets used to hold my sandwich at home when I don't feel like getting a plate dirty. They wipe my eyeglasses and serve as a placemat. They wash and dry well. I keep them right above my sink so I can just grab one without thinking. Buy these if you are looking for a paper towel replacement like I was. I really love these!

4.0 happy with napkins, but...

Comments about Product:

These napkins are definitely causing us to use fewer paper napkins, so they are accomplishing their goal. My quibble is that they do stain (how could they not?) with tomato, wine and such. I've been throwing them right into borax and water after using...does anyone have a better idea? They air dry fast and are quick to iron. I want to not iron them, but I can't help myself, because they look so fresh and nice on the table when ironed, and otherwise look so rumpled and haphazard. It feels like a luxury to use cloth napkins. I like that these are small-ish and thin, but sturdy. I wish they were less expensive. I tried some less expensive ones from Target, but they were such a loose weave that I might use them as cheese cloths instead of napkins. I would suggest adding similar napkins in larger sizes for more formal occasions. The Target ones are 16 x 16 in and that's a nice size.

5.0 great paper napkin replacement !

Comments about Product:

When thinking about switching to cloth napkins, I remembered using thick table cloth type squares of fabric that were heavy. These napkins are not that at all. The reusit napkins are a great size (around 12 inch square) and very thin. The hemp is stretchy and they are soft. They have been easy to clean and spaghetti stains a week old came right off. This made it easy to save a ton of paper napkins and paper towels this year!

Comments about Product:

Comments about Product:

I love these napkins, they are perfectly sized for family use and the colors are beautiful. I was skeptical before I received them as to how soft they would be, but upon washing in cold water before first use and hanging to dry, they are beautifully soft yet sturdy enough to do their job. I ended up buying a set of napkins in just about every color.

I like this napkin for everyday use. I even put them in my kids' lunchboxes. I wish the Reuseit.com tag was not so prominently displayed. The wash instructions also say to "air dry" which is not very practical, I don't think. I put mine in the dryer and they're fine.

Comments about Product:

I LOVE these napkins! I bought one set in each color (except white), planning to use them for gifts, but I ended up needing to use them all myself for our housewarming party. I've used them as napkins, towels, handkerchiefs- there's not much these napkins can't do. And it feels great to know they're sustainable. I'm back today to order more for gifts!
