The unpaper towels are super absorbent 100% ORGANICALLY Grown cotton (GOTS Certified) and are serged around the edges for a clean finish. You can expect these work-horses to last for a very long time. Use them to mop up any spill, dry your hands, or for any typical use of paper towels. I throw mine in the washer and dryer with any and all loads of laundry (they take up very little space), because no special care is required.Larger finished size of 14x14 inches, and is made from a high quality birds-eye weave diaper fabric. Try them and love them, or send them back for a 100% refund. The fabric is imported from a Fair Trade "Farm to Finishing" Factory, where the workers are treated fairly and paid a living wage. They are cut, sewn and finished in the United States by Americans, who are also paid a living wage, generous benefits, and are treated well and have excellent working conditions.
