Customer Review: ENORMOUS QUANTITY OF THE BEST PAPER TOWELS ON THE MARKET & THE SOFTEST TOO!
Summary: 5 Stars
IN A NUTSHELL: WHY CAN'T EVERYTHING WE CONSUME BE SO PREDICTABLY USEFUL?
WHY IS "VIVA" SO SPECIAL:
It is true that their are better paper towels for cleaning windows and for some outdoor, shop, and heavy duty cleaning jobs, especially where the towel is moistened with some cleaning agent before use. Bounty is one that comes to mind here, but for kitchen, personal and household uses, "Viva" really is a nearly perfect product.
I have used paper towels for a growing number of applications for a half century, though only in the past ten years did I come to appreciate "Viva Paper Towels". Originally, I bought store brands or promotional products on sale or with coupons as a paper towel was just a quick spill clean-up device. When I had children, I discovered how handy paper towels are at the dinner table for both quick spill clean-ups and as tough little napkins for sticky little hands. That's where the rub was. Most paper towels will clean up spills and even hold together fairly well, but Viva is the only one I have used as a substitute for dinner napkins and facial tissues for all the members of our rather large family. It is very soft, absorbent, durable and strong in all our household applications even after becoming wet or soiled.
VERSATILITY!
It is this versatility that makes Viva so unique. The extreme softness is what puts "Viva" ahead of "Bounty", which is an excellent choice for all the same reasons, but lacks the softness which lends it to more household family uses. The high standards with which it accomplishes all these household tasks is what makes it the best and only paper towel we need.
BOTTOM LINE:
There are very few products we use on a daily basis that are always predictably available, reasonably priced, improve over time and are biodegradable, but "Viva Premium Paper Towels" is one of the few. A roll of "Viva" does last much longer than a "Bargain Brand" and its performance is superior in nearly every way, making "Viva" a terrific value and a lifelong household asset.

Customer Review: Quality is steadily declining
Summary: 1 Stars
I've used these towels for many years, and absolutely loved them. They were so indispensable around the house that I would actually drive 11 miles just to get them because my smaller rural grocery store didn't carry them.
However, in the last year there's been a sudden steep decline in the quality and they're no longer worth the extra cost - they're now on a par with all the other brands. For years, we used them for everything - including using them instead of tissues because everyone in our very allergic family found they held up to our mighty sneezes and were just as soft as tissues. About eight or nine months ago, we all noticed a big change - thinner, scratchier, more easily broken, less absorbent. Everyone in my family complained, and we immediately stopped using them as tissues, because they HURT. When wet, they tear about twice as easily as they used to before they were cheapened.
Depending on where you get them, there are still some available that are of better quality. But when those are gone, the difference between Viva towels and other towels will also be gone.
For tough jobs, they're still very slightly better than some of the other major brands but they've lost their edge. I don't buy them anymore because they're more expensive than most other brands but not any better.
Customer Review: Softest and Most Versatile. Happy about the Subscribe and Save!
Summary: 5 Stars
It is almost as strong as Bounty. And after you experience the softness and the versatility, you will not like anything else.
Compared to other products, it is a pamapering experience using it in the kitchen. I have certainly substituted it for dinner napkins at times. If not for its paper towel look, I almost would prefer those than the formal napkins.
I often wet it and use it to wipe my son's face after breakfast and before school. No other facial tissue can do a better job. And no other paper towels are soft enough to be accepted for this task either.
Another interesting thing, when my sister visited and she forgot to bring her facial film, she used this as a subsitute and was quite happy with it.
The store sells them for over $1.5 per roll. I am happy with the subscribe and save price here.
Customer Review: Cost effective
Summary: 5 Stars
This week i had a strip of two Viva paper towels accidentally go through an extended Regular cycle + Prewash in my front loading washing machine that is so strong that it has shredded lightweight textiles. The paper towel strip came out of the pocket and rode the cycle out on its own.
It made it, intact. In fact, i used them later in the day to scrub about 26' of kitchen counter and finally recycled them after i scrubbed the sinks.
They really don't wear through or give out in the middle of a job.
Sanitation decrees that one must eventually must recycle Viva paper towels.
but, now i know i can actually put them through the laundry!
:-)
i don't buy others any more.
these do it all and despite a greater upfront cost, we save money using Viva . . . . .
Customer Review: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Summary: 3 Stars
First, the Good: These paper towels are strong and well made. Where I once used 3 or 4 paper towels for a job, 1 of these is more than enough. Also, I accidentally washed a couple of these (in jacket pocket), and they came out like new! Unlike other paper towels that shred and make a mess in my lint filter, when I pulled these out, I thought they were small dish towels.
Second, the Bad: They do leave behind lint when used for washing windows, mirrors, etc. Solution - don't use them for that.
Third, the Ugly: (And this was the deal-breaker for me) They stink! The first few times I bought them, no problem. But, I've bought a couple of packages that had a very noticeable odor to them. (Another reviewer mentioned this as well). So noticeable in fact, that I quit buying them.
