The winner of the SKOY Cloths is Kim, comment number 3!  The winner will be notified via email.

I would like to thank everyone who entered, blogged, Tweeted, emailed friends, subscribed and browsed the SKOY Cloth website.

Please check back for more giveaways in the very near future!

Not too long ago, I wrote a post about certain household items that are common purchases, but  are not needed and creates a lot of waste in the short or long-term.   One of these items I mentioned was paper towels.  They are generally used to wipe up household messes and spills and are chucked in the garbage without a second thought.  Though I have made an effort to buy paper towels that are made from recycled paper, these products are not recyclable once they are used.

I recently discovered an alternative to conventional paper towels: SKOY Cloths

The SKOY reusable cloths are made from renewable raw materials and are 100% biodegradable.

My take: Compared to conventional sponges, the SKOY cloths are much more absorbent.  When I use them to wipe up spills, it really gets the job done.  These cloths leaves very little to no streaks or residue behind.  On their website they state that you can wash them in the washer, dishwasher, and microwave (to kill the germs).  We don’t own a microwave and I usually forget to put them in our dishwasher, but I have used it in our washing machine with great success.  Though I rinse them out after each use, putting them in the washer gets them  much cleaner.  Since we line dry most of the time, I haven’t put them in the dryer yet, but you can dry them up to 90 degrees.

I have had my SKOY cloths for several months and they have stood the test of time and use.  They’ve lasted much longer than my conventional sponges which are not biodegradable.  I definitely give the SKOY Cloths a thumbs up.

And for the giveaway you’ve all been waiting for…

On September 15th, one lucky Green and Chic reader will receive two 4-packs of the SKOY Cloths.
