We love our new line of eco friendly towels and sponges. They make housework and barn work a little easier! They are called Viscose. It wipes like a towel, dries like a chamois and absorbs like a sponge.
Viscose, made from recycled wood chips, absorbs up to 10 times its weight in liquid and releases over 92% when rung out. The secret is in the thousands of tiny air cells in the material which trap liquid rather than absorbing it. So even when Viscose seems soaked, simply ring it out, and it's ready to dry again and again. This amazing natural fabric is versatile, durable, machine-washable, and even gets softer the more you use it.
Viscose vs. Terry Cloth
When terry cloth is saturated, it becomes virtually useless, a soggy wet lump that is slow to dry. Eco towels can easily be wrung out for use over and over again until the job is done. They are like water magnets. Whether it's water, wine, gravy or oil, Viscose has an extra fast absorbing action that quickly wipes up any spill you can pour its way. a simple wringing will release all of the liquid absorbed. So even if the towel is damp, it is still ready to dry again and again.
Viscose vs. Microfiber
Microfibers are synthetic products made from petrochemicals. Need I say more!
Microfibers tend to pick up and hold grit, dust and dirt so securely that you may damage the surface of delicate items. Also, they have specific washing and cleaning instructions in order to preserve the fiber.
Viscose vs. Chamois
Chamois is made from the skin of animals, most typically sheep skin. YUCK! They are subject to mildew if not wrung out properly and may harbor bacteria.
Our towels are not only superior but are a plant based alternative to the animal based Chamois cloth. I know our animals are certainly glad to hear this!
