The Skoy cloths arrived from an E-Bay store, The Healthy Cottage, and my snap judgement (typically wrong) is that they are decidedly odd. Hyped by a bunch of green bloggers, Skoy is supposed to be the environmentally friendly alternative to paper towels. Allegedly each cloth replaces 15 rolls of paper towels.  I buy used to buy 2 rolls of the Seventh Generation brand a week for $3.00 so the 15 rolls would be $22.50, and the skoys were 3 bucks each.  Green and cheap?  Is that even possible?

Well…….

First of all they are kind of small, about 7 inches square. B: They have to be wet to work, which to my tiny brain seems counter-intuitive. That they are wet and floppy just adds to my perception that they are a new generation of the dreaded, ever-smelly Handi-wipes that my mother always had draped over the faucet in our 1970s kitchen. So I keep using them as a sponge and not as a paper towel.  and 4:  they are kind of clammy feeling.  I am so the old dog.

At least they are cute.

More once the stranger danger wears off…..
