The Best Value Kitchen Towels Are $1 Each at Amazon

Growing up, my mom would receive new dish towels every Christmas. Naive as I was, I’d tease her for getting excited about the gift. Who gets excited about dish towels? You can imagine her smug grin when, many Christmases later, she gifted me a fun new kitchen towel, and I was thrilled to add it to my rotation. It’s a natural part of the home cook life cycle, after all.

The thing is, dishcloths are one of those kitchen staples you use daily but can never seem to own enough of. In my apartment, there’s a constant flow of towels from my oven door handle to the laundry pile and back again. I’ve amassed a mismatched collection over the years, but it would’ve been much easier if I’d known where to look for a great matching bundle without spending much money. On sale for just over $1 apiece at Amazon, Zeppoli’s affordable 15-pack of kitchen towels does everything from wiping up crumbs to sopping up spills to drying dishes and knives — and it’s 40% off with an onsite coupon.

Even when not on sale, our editors named these the best kitchen towels when it comes to value. The cloths are “super soft and show minimal shrinking when cleaning in the laundry,” they said, observing that stains wash out fairly easily. Measuring 14 x 25 inches, these lightweight kitchen towels are made from machine-washable 100% cotton.

Boasting over 33,800 perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers, these dishcloths “soak up water well, [are] not too rough, work well as hot pads when folded up, don’t melt in heat as some non-cotton towels do, and they go through the washer and dryer without shrinking, unraveling, or showing wear,” raved one customer. Though the “phenomenal value” kitchen towels do take a while to dry “because of how thick they are,” said another shopper. “They’re very absorbent, so they take up a lot of water.”

Beyond their mess-tackling abilities, these reusable dishcloths have helped shoppers beat their paper towel-using habits. “I am continually surprised with my preference for these over my beloved paper towels,” shared one customer, who uses these “convenient” cloths “for spills in the kitchen, wiping the countertop, drying dishes, and even as napkins while snacking in front of the TV.” They especially loved how the kitchen towels will “save me money by drastically cutting down my paper towel use to almost nothing.” Another buyer “quit buying paper towels” after grabbing these “bleachable” kitchen towels that dry “quickly.”

Regardless of my mom’s and my Christmas kitchen towel tradition, there’s no reason to wait for the holidays to grab this pack. Ditch paper towels for good and start using these Zeppoli dishcloths while they’re just $1 apiece.
