The unpaper towels are super absorbent 100% Organic cotton 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. We do recommend avoiding large amounts of chlorine bleach and fabric softener. Finished size is 11 x 12 inches, and is made from a high quality organic birds-eye weave fabric. Try them and love them, or send them back for a 100% refund. ********************************** All of our items are cut and sewn in the USA by Americans who are paid a fair and livable wage. The Cotton is organically grown in India or Pakistan, and is GOTS Certified in Switzerland. The fabric is processed in Pakistan in a Fair-Trade Factory.
