Mainstays Mainstays 5pk Flour Sack Kitchen Towel, White

These classic, white flour sack kitchen towels practically dry the dishes themselves. With eager water absorption and soft cotton construction, these are the extra hands you've been looking for in the kitchen.

Review 1 for Mainstays 5pk Flour Sack Kitchen Towel, White

Great for Cloth Diapers & Burp Clothes

These sell out quickly in stores, so it can be difficult to find at times, but these are great for cloth diapers. I wrap them around microfiber inserts to use for overnight diapers. They're extremely absorbent. As burp clothes, they're very effective. The best part is the price and quality. Tis product makes it more cost effective to be green with a baby in a time where anything related to baby are marked up significantly.

Review 2 for Mainstays 5pk Flour Sack Kitchen Towel, White

my favorite use is straining

These are great. I first bought them when canning bushels of tomatoes to wipe the jars clean before sealing. Since then, I have found they are great for use in scrubbing the kitchen, drying dishes. But my favorite use it as a cheesecloth. I have strained milk, yogurt, and broth many times. Best of all they wash well, and don't shrivel into nothing like a cheese cloth does in the wash.

I have used these towels for years in my kitchen and when they begin to show stains or wear a little thin I then use them to wipe down my truck after washing. Don't let the way they look fool you. They are very absorbent and get the job done. Just wash them first as they put a finish on them.

I bought these towels to use to roll up my pumpkin rolls when they are hot out of the oven. I needed 100% cotton towels, the thinner the better and these are perfect. I also use for drying glassware and they leave it clear, shiny, lintless and without a streak!

I love these towels. I use them as flat cloth diapers and they have washed up much better than the Osocozy flats. These are actually 29in x 28 in after washing and drying on hot. So great!

Great in the kitchen and in the nursery!

Fantastic all-around product for the home. I use these in the kitchen as towels for drying dishes, covering rising bread, and a host of other everyday kitchen jobs. I also use them in the nursery a LOT. They make absolutely fabulous flat diapers; very absorbent and can be used with a snappi or padfolded beneath a cover or inside a pocket diaper. I also use them as burp cloths and drying towels after baby takes a bath. Can't believe how useful these are for such a fantastic price! Definitely recommend!!!!!

Was running out of the "flour sack" towels I had for years to dry my dishes I did by hand with. Found these on WalMarts website and - they are wonderful - great buy too.

These are great! These are the best diapers ever. I fold them pad/trifold style and use them as inserts for pocket diapers or lay them in a wrap cover for my baby. So easy and quick to wash and dry. They can also be used to dry dishes, mop up spills, clean glasses or windows (no lint), perfect lightweight blanket for the car, folded into a burp cloth or changing pad. The value can't be beat and they work great!

I have been looking for what I call "tea towels" to replace my old wornout ones, but they are not as common as they used to be. Until I came across them at Walmart online. Then to be able to pick them up at my local store...Wow. They are exactly what I was looking for and they work great.

I use these as Christmas gifts, just sewed a panel on and they were done. Everyone loved them and asked where I found the dish cloths. I checked several stores before I found these. I have bought a few packs for myself because I like them so much.

Review 17 for Mainstays 5pk Flour Sack Kitchen Towel, White

great yogurt making tool

These are Great for making Greek yogurt. I make a gallon of yogurt and then line a 5qt colander with one of these cloths, stand it in a pan and place the whole thing in the refrigerator. Simply let this sit and drain the whey to make thick, creamy Greek yogurt, or drain for 2 days to make labneh - a yogurt cheese which is really good with olive oil and spices. I keep the strained-off whey to use for soup stock, or make amazingly tasty pancakes.
Keep these cloths clean by washing well in the sink, and then sanitize by adding a bit of vinegar to a sink of cold water. Oh yes, they make great towels, too!

Great as Diapers!

I bought these towels the other day to use as "Flat" diapers and they are great! Very absorbent, light, and trim on my daughter. I use them with a Flip diaper cover and a Snappi. They aren't as bulky as normal prefolds, and the best part is that they are very inexpensive!! A great was to save even more money with cloth diapering. Since they are so absorbent I'm sure they would make excellent kitchen towels as well. I will be buying more to use around my house.

When I first saw these, I didn't think they would absorb much. They were very rough and thin. Don't be fooled. Much better after the first wash. They are large, easy to wash, very absorb able, they don't leave lint behind. I have flat top electric range, smooth front fridge, dishwsher and hood/microwave that are black- so you know how hard they are to keep clean. Love it that I can clean with these and not have to follow up with microfiber. I'm not afraid to use them for any spills at all, even grape juice. If bleach doesn't take out the stain at least I know that they are clean, and I can keep then for polishing rags in the garage. I have probably bought 6 packs of these. Some have made it to the garage towel bin, but haven't worn through yet. Would definitely recommend.

I have a few of these I use as kitchen towels and love them. Very absorbent and they don't leave lint on the dishes. That also makes them great for window washing! But, my favorite use for them is as flat diapers. They are the perfect size for my favorite diaper fold and make a nicely absorbent diaper for my son. (of course those towels are just for diapers and NOT used in the kitchen) You just can't beat the price of $1 a piece for reusable diapers!

Great for diapers!
Posted 06/08/2011
I second that these are great for diapers! I love them! For all those parents that say they can't afford diapers or let their kids sit in them too long they should try these. Even if you use pins and plastic pants with these you could feasibly diaper your child to potty training for about the cost of 2 boxes of disposables or even less!
