DII Basic Terry Collection Windowpane Dishcloth Set, 12x12, Gray, 6 Piece

I was searching for lint free cotton cloths to use as oiling "rags" for seasoning my cast iron skillets. I can't remember what link I selected on Google but it led to a Cast Iron Pan forum that had a link to these, The guy that posted it said he ordered these specifically for "seasoning his cast iron skillets". Ironically, I'd already placed the black pack of these in my cart while his link led to the gray ones. I received them today and I'll say this:I noticed several reviews complaining about lint. Most mentioned nothing about pre-washing them before use as the instructions state (and most people would think) to do. I learned when my little brother (now 28 yo) was 4yo to shake out clothes before putting them into the washer and dryer. Otherwise, not only will the washer and dryer be filled with lint, but sand/dirt, snails, worms, nails, grass, and sea shells or rocks and more. Simply shaking the towels out (with a hard pop) released whatever lint was there from what I saw as there was NO LINT in my washer or dryer. There were 3-5 strings dangling coming out the dryer which wasn't a big deal, especially if you know that "burning string" instead of simply cutting will stop/keep it from unraveling.Yes, they are a bit thin but not that thin to not be usable for about 6-months if bleach (which breaks down cotton/ materials, like mops) isn't used. There are many other laundry disinfectants that don't eat clothes. Anyway, I've seasoned and wiped my cast iron skillets with one and it left minimal lint. Even the lil lint may be due to my use of (solid) lard instead of (oil) flaxseed. It still was a great job considering the lint paper towels leave behind. I figure they'll be at their best once broke in.Honestly, don't understand most of the reviews complaining about strings, lint, thinness, etc. Apparently, you've shopped at Dollar Tree and Dollar General to know what you can get there so why complain like you're not use to using the same quality, if not less than what you received from here.

These are GREAT kitchen towels. They don’t stain and wash great. I love cleaning my counters with them.

I have used and washed these quite a bit. They have held up wonderfully. No snags, rips or unraveling so far. I like the look of them and they work well. My only issue is it takes running them under water for awhile to get them completely wet. The water partially wicks away a lot of the time and doesn’t absorb as it seems it should. Other than that, I’ve enjoyed them as much as you can enjoy a washcloth :)

At first the quality is meh, but it seems after I washed them they fluffed up a little. Haven't used them yet, but they seem pretty sturdy and will do the job they're intended to do, which is washing dishes.

They are small, absorbent, and cute. I would use them as a gift if ordered the towels and matching oven mitt with them. So inexpensive, when used up, throw away or use for auto clean up.

They're ok, but the texture is rough and they are not very absorbent.

Bought for kitchen clean up. At first I was disappointed when I opened then thinking they were thin and wouldnt last. After being washed and used I love them. They are a lot thicker material then I thought at first and they get the job done!

Gave as part of a kitchen gift set. Looked nice enough.
