13 Pink Kitchen Dish Towels - 27" x 14" 2-ply Commercial Grade Absorbent 100% Cotton Kitchen Towels - Classic Herringbone Tea Towels

Great Towels at a Great Price! After spending several days reading reviews and details on so many dish towels trying to figure out which ones would be the best, I narrowed it down to the Liliane Collection. I based my choice on customer reviews and the impressive reviews of the way the Liliane company goes so out of their way to stand behind their product! Then, it was a decision as to which of Lilian towels to purchase. I settled on these and I must say that I am not disappointed! I LOVE these towels. I washed them as directed by the email from "Lisa" at Liliane and the directions that came with the towels. I washed them in warm wash/cold rinse with no fabric softener. I dried them on delicate, damp dry. I had very little shrinkage, maybe 1" in length. When I took them out of the dryer, slightly damp, I just smoothed them with my hands and draped over a chair and/or plastic hanger to finish drying. To me, this was no trouble at all, they dried very quickly and I love the way they came out. I'm sure I could have dried them completely in the dryer with perhaps a little more shrinkage but I chose not to. I love the Vintage look of these towels and the slight wrinkle reminds me of towels from my childhood. As you can see from the photo, the wrinkle is very slight. The MAIN POINT, these towels are EXTREMELY ABSORBENT and dry everything so easily; even my husband is impressed! As far as fabric softener, I usually do use it on all my laundry but it's not a problem. You get so many towels for such a low price, that you have more than enough to use clean ones until you have one or two left and then you have enough to make a small load of just the towels without fabric softener. I am so glad I chose the Liliane towels; I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Took a chance and ordered these towels. I liked that the seller mentioned shrinkage and gave instructions on how to care for these cloths, nice to know that before buying.I got the smaller size and when they arrived I thought they would be too small; however, now I think they are the perfect size for drying dishes. I used to have thicker, bigger, tea towels, but I found that they got excessively wet, took a long time to dry, and the excess cloth bunched up and made handling dishes more awkward.I followed the instructions and washed the cloths first, then dried them on low in the dryer. They did shrink, but that was expected.What prompted me to buy these was the fact that I had many thicker, coloured tea-towels that had become tea-stained and what not over the years, they just looked grubby and I couldn't bleach them - these I can bleach so they will always look clean.Definitely recommend if you want to try a thinner, faster drying, more absorbent towel. They work very well on glass too, though this company offer specific towels for glass and I might try them because the water in our area is so hard it leaves rings and spots on clean glasses.Also, the price is just unbeatable, (I got thirteen towels for the price of two thicker coloured ones), I can discard any that I burn on the grill etc, and still have enough to get by.

I used to cook in professional kitchens and these towels are just like the ones we used in the pro kitchens. Yes, they are thin; they are supposed to be thin! That way, they dry quickly - you also aren't supposed to use one for weeks at a time. You use one for a bit, when it gets dirty or wet you throw it in the wash and get another - that's why they come in large quantities. They are very well made, 100% cotton. I've washed them several times now and haven't even had one begin to fray at all. I like that the towels came with specific instructions on care - that's always helpful. I heard other reviews stating that they came out of the wash wrinkled but that hasn't been my experience. They do have a herringbone pattern to them and that does make a bit of a ripple in the weave, but they're certainly not what I would call wrinkled. The size in this listing states 14x27 but the package shows them as 14x25 - and they are pretty much BOTH. When they arrived, they were 13 7/8 x 26 5/8. After a washing they were 13 1/2 x 24 1/8. If I had to pick out a complaint it would be that a couple towels came with a small slub of red fiber in them - but really that doesn't even bother me in the least. But if you like perfection, that may bug you a bit. All in all a great product at a great price.

I bought these to replace some very old but still very functional kitchen towels I really hated to part with. These should fill that niche nicely. They are NOT for the person looking for a fluffy terry cloth decorative addition to their kitchen (which a professional wouldn't be caught dead with). These are truly professional grade utility towels that are meant for work. For wiping up spills, holding hot pots and pans, keeping your hands and your counter clean and dry and all the other chores a chef keeps them near at hand for. Those are my "pro" comments. On the "con" side, I wish they made these about 3" wider and longer, as they shrink considerably after your initial first laundering. The first washing will also leave them looking frayed and tattered. You'll need to snip off all the loose threads that get revealed. But you should only have to do that once. Subsequent washings did not require that. That's the price you pay for the bargain pricing they are offering. To me, it was worth it. One other thing that struck me as odd was that about half the lot were hemmed on 3 sides only. I'm not sure how this is going to impact long term use. So, my initial response is that they are a good deal for the price if you're looking for a utility kitchen towel. I've been using towels like this for as long as I can remember, and they will pay for themselves in a very short time, and a ton of money over their lifetime if you use these instead of paper towels whenever practical. Plus they are lint free, and will leave your glasses, china and silverware sparkling. A win-win-win for the environment, your table and your wallet.
