Skoy cloths are one of my favorite products. I told you the only bad thing about Skoy cloths is they last forever, and we don’t need to buy more to replace them. Thanks again for the great products and service you provide and all you do for the doggies. Kathy Thomsen, Auburn, CA


Honestly, we are simply in love with this wonderful product. The SKOY cloth is a fabulous, absorbent, biodegradable and natural multi-use cloth made from a unique blend of natural cotton and cellulose from wood. It is both biodegradable and compostable, an independent composting test showing SKOY breaking down completely within 5 weeks (16 weeks in a city landfill). This re-usable earth friendly cloth is perfect in your kitchen, bathroom, and on most hard surface areas in your home or office, such as counter tops, tabletops, bookshelves, and the floor.

SKOY cloth can be used in place of your sponge, wash cloth or paper towels. A durable product due to the reusability factor, it can last months. Using a SKOY cloth is equivalent to using 15 rolls of paper towels in an average home. The SKOY cloth, which has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight, is long-lasting because of the washability feature. The cloth dries quickly, so it is not a breeding ground for bacteria. And, it is easily cleaned in your washer.

These cloths are simple to use. Simply wet your SKOY cloth before using, and then squeeze out the excess water for optimal absorption. It can be used with popular household cleaners, but works just as well with water. Be sure to rinse the Skoy cloth very well when combined with dish soap in order not to leave residue. Chlorine-use is not recommended.

How long does a SKOY cloth last?  Since SKOY is reusable and washable, it can last over a year. A normal life cycle of a SKOY cloth starts in the kitchen to wipe countertops and table tops. After using the SKOY for a week or two in the kitchen, it can be renewed in the washer and “downgraded” for indoor cleaning such as floors, bathrooms, etc. After a few months in this stage, being washed a couple of times, the SKOY can then be used for outdoor messes, such as wiping patio furniture as well as for garage use. This is the great thing with SKOY, it can be used over and over again.

Will my SKOY cloth be ruined if I wash it often?  No, the SKOY cloth can last over 50 wash cycles if using a normal detergent. Some customers have used our SKOY cloth daily for over a year. Having said that, it is always a good feeling to use a SKOY cloth for the first time, so do not forget to buy new ones once in a while…

What is the difference between SKOY and a microfiber cloth?
The biggest difference is that SKOY is more earth-friendly as it is made from natural materials and is 100% biodegradable, while microfiber cloths are made from synthetic materials. Our experience also shows that a SKOY cloth absorbs liquids better than microfiber cloths, and as such, is superior for kitchen use. Finally, we think that SKOY feels better in your hand when using it.

How is SKOY a greener cleaning solution than paper towels, both end up on the landfill and both are biodegradable?  It is true that both SKOY and paper towels end up on the landfill (unless you have a compost) and that both are biodegradable. However, there is a big and important difference — a paper towel you can only use once, while a SKOY can be used over and over again. In an average household, each SKOY cloth saves 15 rolls of paper towels!

Why should we be reducing the use of paper towels According to the EPA, the USA generates 250 million tons of trash per year, of which around 34% is paper. That is 85 million tons of paper waste per year! Reducing paper-towel waste will do the following:

1. Less paper waste reduces greenhouse gases in multiple ways.
     a) reduces transportation required to haul goods/packages,
     b) reduces energy needed to make goods/packages,
     c) reduces fuel consumed in hauling waste to landfill, and
     d) reduces methane in landfill from decomposing paper.

2. Using less paper towels means cutting down less trees, which reduces the risk of deforestation. According to American Dryer, 17 trees are consumed to make one ton of paper towels.

3. Using less paper towels means we can use less chemicals and waste less water needed to produce paper towels. Even before the paper towels are used, each ton has claimed 20,000 gallons of water in chemical cleansing.

4. Using less paper towels means using up less landfill resources. According to Arizona State U, a decrease in U.S. household consumption of just three rolls per year would save 120,000 tons of waste and $4.1 million in landfill dumping fees.
