"Eco-Friendly Sponge Cloths: Our top pick is the super-absorbent Skoy Earth-Friendly Cloth." - Cooks Illustrated
Since SKOY is reusable and washable it can last a very long time, some people still use them after a year. A normal life cycle of a SKOY cloth starts in the kitchen to wipe counter-tops and table tops. After using the SKOY for a week or two in the kitchen, it can be renewed in the washer or “downgraded” for indoor cleaning such as floors, bathrooms, etc. After a few months in this stage, being washed a couple of times, the SKOY can then be used for outdoor messes, such as wiping patio furniture as well as for garage use. This is the great thing with SKOY, it can be used over and over again.
Product Details
Approx: 6.5" x 7.5"
Design and Functionality
Skoy is a paper towel replacement that has the absorbency and cleaning power of a sponge, without unwanted bacteria. Wet your Skoy, squeeze out excess water, then get cleaning! A Skoy absorbs as much as 15 paper towels and dries so quickly that bacteria don’t have the chance to grow. They hardly take up any space, so it’s easy to store one anywhere you’d like to keep a roll of paper towels, like your kitchen, bathroom or garage. For smaller jobs and spaces, you can cut the Skoy down to whatever size you prefer. You can use cleaning products with Skoy, but it works extremely well with just water - another way it helps save money and resources. Similar to a natural sponge, Skoy lasts longer when used for cleaning hard surfaces as opposed to textiles like carpets.
When it does need a cleaning, you can throw Skoy in your dishwasher or washer/dryer. Or, place it in the microwave wet for 1-2 minutes to keep it germ-free. At the end of its life, Skoy is completely biodegradable. If you throw it in your compost, it will break down in about 5 weeks.
Materials
Made of 100% biodegradable cotton and wood pulp cellulose. Water-based colors and inks. Completely breaks down in compost in about 5 weeks. Skoy’s are packaged with a raffia tie with a recycled paperboard information card.
Sustainability
In America alone, 3,000 tons of paper towels wind up in landfills each day. Not only does using Skoy cleaning cloths divert waste from the landfills, it also reduces the number of trees that have to be cut down for their production and the energy required to package and transport bulky rolls of towels. Because of its small weight and size, the carbon footprint of transporting Skoy is minimal, as verified by an independent consultant.
About Skoy
Skoy was conceived by two women who wanted to make a superior cleaning cloth, with the added bonus of it being environmentally friendly. The Skoy factory has invested heavily in an integrated environmental recycling and disposal facility. Production by-products are purified and recycled as much as possible in the process, and regeneration baths are returned to production by an evaporation process. Wastewater is treated at the site’s biological wastewater purification plants.
Care Instructions
Washable (machine, dishwasher, microwave & dryer safe). Chlorine use not recommended.
You can also microwave a wet Skoy for 1-2 minutes, soak it vinegar over night or let it sit in water after it's been boiled to sanitize it.
Tips
- Break the paper towel habit by hiding your paper towels under your sink or in another out-of-the-way place. Place a Skoy reusable cloth where you normally keep the paper towels to encourage the whole household to opt for a reusable option first.
- Use different color Skoy cloths for different jobs - one color for the kitchen counter, a bathroom cloth, one for common areas of the house and one for floors.
Country of Origin
Made in Germany, packaged in the USA.

Very useful
I use this everyday now instead of paper towels (which I was using several times before discarding into the compost bin). I can rinse these out. They're attractive and dry fairly quickly unlike a dishrag.

I love the Skoy Paper Towel Replacements
I ordered the Skoy towels because paper towels were one of my last disposable products, one I never thought I'd be able to get replace. I've been using the first towel for a month now for kitchen counter cleaning and haven't had to go on to the next one yet. I just rinse, hang to dry or put in the microwave for a minute to kill germs. It's holding up extremely well. And it's textured enough to really do a good job cleaning the counter. When it does need to be replaced I'll just use that one for dirtier jobs, like the bathroom or floor spills. They're pretty, too!

LOVE my Skoy towels!!!!
I love these little towels. I gave my mother-in-law one and she loves it too. I'm ordering more of these to give to my friends & family for Christmas!!
They are sturdy and they dry so well without getting stinky. And I love the little flower design on them.

I love the Skoy Towels--I have purchased them before, and I want to introduce my friends to them. These will be Christmas gifts for a few of my friends. Skoy Towels last and last--they never smell bad. Thank you for a great product!

Can\'t live with out them!!
Skoy "Paper Towel Replacement" is not very accurate name. They need to come up with something a bit broader. This little piece of foam is a giant when it comes to what it can do, not just in the kitchen, but all around the house. There is not enough space here to list the number of things I use this item for. As it wears, I designate it to another job. Paper towels would not last the way this towel does. Thank you to the creator of this wonderful item!

good stocking stuffers/renewing skoys
I like giving these to my adult children in their bag of holiday goodies. Although I know bleach is no-no, when my skoys get really cruddy and nasty looking after a month or two of use and washings, I soak them a while in a mild bleach/water solution. This brightens them up and sanitizes them for further use. But of course it also causes faster deterioration of my skoys so it's a trade off. I still feel that using up 4-6 skoys a year is a whole lot better than using countless paper towels constantly!

Useful!
The Skoy wipes are a good substitute for paper towels for most applications. They wipe up wet spills, or dampened, pick up dry stuff, They rinse off quite well. I still need disposable paper towels to throw away the mess when the cat misses the litterbox - but our paper towel use has greatly declined.

Fast Drying
These are nice looking and fast drying. I converted to fabric towels and products like these in a small basket on my counter where my paper towel holder used to be. I also have a small basket under my sink where I can pitch the dirty towels for a wash on the weekend. Now only the super gross stuff (read: dog vomit) are handled with paper towels.

Great invention
These are great, though it took me a little time to adapt to using them. They are fantastic on a boat, where they dry MUCH faster than a sponge. We don't use paper towel at all on the boat, so they are a huge help. Bravo.
