Amazon Aware Bamboo Paper Towels, 6 Rolls, 2 ply, FSC Certified, 150 Sheets, 900 Count, Plastic-Free, Multicolor

These are quite thin, so I end up using more of them than say, Brawny or Bounty. But I quite like them and feel like they’re less wasteful because they are so light and thin.

While this bamboo product is no bargain compared to a good sale on the big name brands, it is a very good product. The paper towels hold up very well even when wet and may be a little stronger than the competition. They tear off the roll easily and neatly. I like that the rolls are wrapped in (bamboo) paper, not plastic. At least for now, I will stick with the environment-friendly products.

I have tried many bamboo products. I have settled on Amazon’s bamboo paper towels. They are reasonably priced and do a good job. I wish the rolls were a bit larger, but I’m happy with the product and saving trees!

The 5 star review is in comparison to other bamboo paper towels. If you buy eco friendly paper towels and expect them to be like Brawny, etc. you will be disappointed. Chemical laden, environment destroying products are popular for a reason. I’ve introduced eco friendly cleaning products at every job I’ve had and invariably someone will complain that they don’t clean as well as Windex, etc. Duh! Chemicals are popular for a reason, but come at a great cost and I find eco friendly products work perfectly fine. Bamboo paper towels are stiffer and not as absorbent in general. These are by far the best bamboo paper towels I’ve tried and work fine for the things I use paper towels for. They are pretty similar in feel to 100% recycled paper towels. These only time I use “regular” paper towels is when I’m house training a puppy because the extra thickness and absorbency is a big help in that instance. About 7 or 8 years ago I invested in organic cotton reusable paper towels and a few years ago added WOWABLES Reusable and Biodegradable paper towel rolls, which are like thin Swedish dish cloths on a roll and about the size of a full size paper towel sheet. Between those two products I rarely use disposable paper towels any more and mainly use them for something really greasy or gross. With the reusable options it takes me about 6 months to go through a roll of paper towels, so the fact that they are a little stiff or a little thinner doesn’t really matter. It’s a nice back up to have, but there are better eco friendly options for most things you need a paper towel for. The FSC certification is a must and surprisingly hard to find with paper towels.

I'm weaning myself off paper products and really like these. 4-star because I wish the roll was bigger (had more sheets). I've never used another brand of bamboo paper towel, so I can't compare it to anything similar. Prior to this, I used Kirkland, which I love for the size of the roll and durability. However, sustainability requires some trade-offs. Bamboo grows fast and can be harvested over & over again vs. cutting down trees. Smaller roll but no plastic wrap or packaging! Not as thick as other traditional paper towel brands, but holds up well for spills. I use cloth towels for major cleaning anyway. I use these to mop up coffee drips, in place of napkins when I run out, and when I wash and eat fruit. Works just fine and I can compost it afterwards. I tried to capture the size of each sheet in my photo. I use one sheet at a time as much as possible, but the teenagers use more. We're on an every-other-month Subscribe and Save order. Yes, I'm paying more, BUT, our planet is paying more for our (in)actions and I'm trying to do what I can to shrink my footprint. Also, there's either no or only light adhesive at the end of the roll so easy to get that last piece without it tearing to shreds.

The bamboo fiber toilet paper of the same brand I've been using has been performing very well despite being very thin and light. However, the paper towels are almost useless- like some of those noname knockoffs of the cheapest big-name brands. Too thin. Barely absorbing anything. Not enough sheets in one roll. Definitely will not buy again, even if they are more environment friendly.

Great all purpose, stiff paper towels. They are reusable depending on what your picking up. It be nice if they came in a full sheet aswell and the short sheets they currently come in. I wouldnt worry about the thickness. The paper is almost Printer paper like, and less like a spung or wash cloth. Great for wipeing things down, not so good for soaking things up. For sure these are for light to medium cleanups. They are not thick and heavy soking like the Scott Shop Towels. On a side note, packaging is awesome looks great in the pantry.

Okay, this is single ply. It is very thin. That means it soaks up small amounts of water very quickly. That's great. However, it can't soak up juice than scrub the the residue from the grout on the tile or catch the drips down the sides of a table. If you spill a cup of juice, you'll need a whole roll to soak it up and another to use with the all purpose cleaner for the sticky residue. I thought about how to show this. To show how thin these are, I held it up to the light. Dry, it doesn't stop much light. Wet, you can count my fingers. It really needs to be two or three ply. It is pricey for the amount of towels you get. I really can't recommend these until Amazon fixes them. Additional I frequently use paper towel to blow my nose. I don't like mucus blowing through the paper. These, even doubled up, can't hold the gunk, it goes right through.
