Seventh Generation Paper Towels, White, 2-Ply Sheets, 3-Count Packages (Pack of 10)
I really enjoy these paper towels, and that this is an environmentally sound decision I make. I would love the company to make a select-a-size option, as I find myself tearing just a small amount off a sheet for smaller spills, eventhough each sheet is 8" x 10 7/8" in size. I would rather tear off a conservative amount than use another brand that does not recycle or has additives brightening their product lines.
I highly recommend this product. I am so greatful that I can have it delivered in bulk to our home. Many times I will use the paper towels as napkins, and although the best decision for the environment would be to use cleaning cloths or fabric napkins and wash them, I need to retain a germ free environment because of an auto-immune condition, so do need to wipe and discard. This is the best product for my needs, and I think that using recycled paper products is a gift we cannot afford to take for granted.
Customer Review: ok, not great
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been trying to switch our household over to "green" products, but only if they're as good as regular products. This one doesn't quite measure up. I think they're fine, but I'm not a big paper towel user (I use washcloths or napkins), but my husband is disappointed with the quality of the paper towels. They're not quite as absorbent, which means you have to use more to get the job done, which defeats the purpose of being environmentally friendly. Plus, each roll of paper towels seems pretty small, which means you have to keep changing rolls, which is annoying - and again defeats part of the purpose - saving resources (wastes paper towel rolls). Also, seventh generation should have half sheets like some of the commercial brands do, so that if you have a small mess you don't waste a whole paper towel.Customer Review: Thicker and stronger than the Natural, expensive
Summary: 4 Stars
I tried both the bleached white and the brown natural versions of these towels and I BY FAR prefer the white; not because of the color, but because you get more for your money.
The white towels are not as soft feeling as your grocery store preferred brands. They actually feel rather rough; but they are quite strong and lint free. Both versions are the same size towel, about 1/3rd smaller than your standard papertowel. The brown version feels much thinner and is not nearly as strong. On both, the perforations are not cut very well and it's nearly impossible to tear off a single sheet. I can use the white towel and hang it on my kitchen faucet to dry and use it again; not so with the brown version.
I'd buy the white towel again, but I wouldn't buy the brown natural towel.
Customer Review: Ok for casual use
Summary: 3 Stars
These are ok, not super absorbent. I use dish towels and reusable absorbent cloths, but I picked these up when my mom came to visit. She's been known to go through a roll per day. She particularly likes to use, rinse, wring, dry, and reuse any paper towel sheet that she can. These fell apart as soon as they got wet, and forget wringing! Needless to say, she was not happy with these at all, but I don't mind them for cleaning the counter top, dining table, etc, that only requires a one-time use. Not really great with spills, and they seem to leave dishes just as wet as when you started drying them. A strange trait.
So, they are not for serious paper towel lovers. But I don't mind them for casual use.
Customer Review: How long will a carton last?
Summary: 4 Stars
71-yr-old widow, lives alone, plus one dog; fairly liberal usage.
16 months for a carton each of the white paper towels and the 2-ply toilet paper; I'm ready to order again.
I love not ever running out of this stuff; I love not having to lug the bulky stuff home from the store. Fortunately I have plenty of storage space. The cartons get broken down and taken to the dump -- no big deal, since all cardboard gets the same treatment here.
The quality is decent, way better than what I've used in underdeveloped countries, not as good as what most Americans seem to consider their birthright. I just don't require that level of cushiness -- and who does, when you get right down to it?
