Reducing waste and reusing materials is a big part of our lifestyle, it also helps keep our carbon footprint a cute size ;)
Did you know that a single sheet of paper towel can take up to 4 weeks to decompose in a landfill, and a regular kitchen sponge can take about a year to decompose entirely? There are 2.5 million tons of paper towels thrown in our landfills every year. Imagine the waste, the transportation costs, and the overall effects on our environment!
So, what should we clean with? Well, I thought it would be a smart start to look into materials that are 100 % biodegradable. After some research, we happened upon SKOY cloth and were given the opportunity to check them out.

We received the above package from SKOY cloth. There are 3 bundles of their 4 pack daisy design, and a 2 cloth pet pack. I'm currently waiting on the printed version of the pet cloth review, it's fabulous from what I hear!
You can use these in the Kitchen - Bathroom - Office - Cars - Boats - Camping and anywhere else that needs to be cleaned!
Reasons SKOY Cloth make NTH happy:
100% Biodegradable, even compostable
Absorbs 15x its own weight
Re-usable
Machine Washable (Dishwasher AND washer/dryer safe)
One SKOY cloth will save 15 rolls of paper towels
Another reason SKOY cloth makes NTH happy; the Earth-Friendly Cloth has a fundraising program, which helps educate our children on the environment and different ways we can reduce waste while also raising funds for their personal school. I'm a huge advocate for education and understanding, the fact this company offers such an opportunity is a huge plus in my book. For more information on fundraising with SKOY, click here.
The environmentally friendly cloths are non-toxic, chlorine-free and made using water-based colors and inks. The 100% biodegradable product is made from a natural cotton and wood-pulp cellulose. These all-purpose cleaning sheets are SO sturdy!
To use the SKOY cloth is simple. Wet your cloth before using it, squeeze out the excess water for optimal absorption, wipe the area you intend to clean and you're done. Yep - that's it. SKOY cloth can also be used with your favorite non-toxic household cleaners, but it works just fine with water.
Cleaning your SKOY cloth is important. This can be done in the dishwasher, or washer/dryer; however, use of chlorine is not recommended (as per manufacturer instructions). Another option to keep your cloth clean and germ-free is to microwave* it while wet for 1-2 minutes. Please, wait 1-2 minutes removing the cloth from your microwave, it will be hot.
*Microwaving your SKOY cloth is perfectly fine and even encouraged to keep the bacteria off of it. The cloth MUST BE wet before doing this.

Love this product. I've been using it for about a year now. It's so versatile! I use it in the kitchen and in many other places that need some cleaning. Great lasting products.
ReplyDeleteI have been using re-usable cloths for cleaning for a while now, love the bio-degradable idea. I will definitely be getting these.
