Amazon Basics 100% Cotton Soft, Quick-Dry Absorbent Hand Towels, 8-Pack, White, 28" x 16"

As a 66-year-old housekeeping supervisor, I know a good towel when I see one! This 8-piece set from Amazon Basics is a great value—soft, quick-drying, and perfect for keeping my cleaning clients' bathrooms looking fresh and polished. The size and quality are spot on, and they hold up well after multiple washes. Highly recommend for anyone who wants affordable yet reliable towels!

Long story, but these were a catalyst for me rebuilding from loss. These simple linens sort, durable to help me clean are uniform in color, size, and texture. Several cycles through they maintain and are affordable and continue to bring me more joy than a washcloth should.

A while back, (May 2019) I purchased three different brands of washcloths trying to find the "best" for me. These from Amazon were the cheapest and, not surprisingly, they are thinner and lighter weight than the others. For reference, the mid-priced cloths are 650 gsm while the most expensive are 900 gsm. I don't know what the gsm for these would be, but I feel confident saying it is most likely 500 or less.The only thing I really disliked was the tags they put on them, so those came off immediately after I washed them. I cut a slit close to the seam where they were attached, then ripped off the tag while pressing down firmly on the seam with the other hand to prevent breaking the thread. They've been washed dozens of times now and there has been no fraying or unraveling of the side seams. There has also been no breaking of the loops that make up the washcloths. There isn't a single thread dangling on any of them.I discovered I like these best for washing my face. Like all our towels, I wash in HOT water with regular detergent and NO FABRIC SOFTNER yet they've remained softer in texture than any of the others. Being thinner, they are easier to rinse and wring out and they dry rapidly. Even after air drying, they aren't stiff when I collect them to place in the laundry basket for laundering. That's something I've not experienced before. For me, the mid-weight work best when bathing and the super-premium are simply too thick and heavy for me when they get wet. They do well absorbing lots of water for drying, but that is what towels are for so they rarely get used. I also don't care for the patterned band on those because it reduces the "useful" area of the washcloth. So, that's what works for me- I hope this helps you decide what might be best for you.

I got these in "platinum" and these are very pretty but more tan/gray than I thought. Still keeping them anyway, because other than not being thrilled with the color, they are really well made towels and otherwise fit the description perfectly. And after all, a towel is a towel and screen image colors can vary from screen to screen.I really like these towels in terms of size, softness, all that. I wish I could have taken maybe half a star or a third of a star off because "platinum" as the photo shows up on my screen isn't the right match for the color that these are on arrival, which I would call "light gray-brown." I thought they would be more blue-gray than tan/brown/gray . HOWEVER, per above, they are very good towels so I am not going to waste packaging, labor, gas etc. on a return. I still like them.

Big, absorbent and comforting.

I absolutely love these towels (so soft, absorbent, perfect size), but ......... when I opened the package these came in there was the most horrific smell, like rotting food. Just ...... an awful awful stench. I couldn't even leave them in my laundry hamper until wash day, it was that bad. I had to run them through the washer asap, & after washing they were ok & smelled nice. Still can't figure out what caused the smell, but washing seemed to take care of it.

I was surprised at the quality of these wash cloths, they are NOT super thin and don't feel like cheapies. Nice and smooth and seem to be of good quality, looks nice too. At this price there is no way to complain, it is a really good value!

Got these for burp clothes for our son and they are so incredibly soft and cozy that he likes to hold one while we have him the bottle. We are in love with these and I think everyone should get some!!

I definitely recommend these hand towels. They are soft and well priced

Son amplias, suaves, secan bien y son de buena calidad, cumplen con las expectativas.

its quick absorb right from first use. not like those that need multiple washes to make them absorb water. material little thin so its water absorb capacity is little lower.

DO NOT go by GSMs here.Used to chop and change towels all the time. All that has stopped since I started using these. Have ordered these towels repeatedly now.1) The dimensions are huge. There is a debate on whether this is a bath towel / bath sheet. Ignore that debate. The towel does what you want it to do, which is to make you dry.2) And it is par excellence when it comes to drying you. The water absorbency is phenomenal. And it is genuinely usable from both sides. Most towels I’ve used get become unusable from the other side after one side gets soaked from use. Not this one.I like white towels, and haven’t ordered the Solimo towels because they are never available in white. But I’ve used most of the other towels that are rated 4+ on Amazon and these are by far the best.
