Marley's UNpaper Towels have really helped me save a ton of money on paper towels. I still have the one paper towel roll under my sink from two weeks ago!

…then I read that I needed to wash them first to maximize their absorbancy, so I did and now, I use them every day! They are amazing! They clean everything, anything, and absorb great!!

I love all of my UNpaper Towels, but these fruit prints are so fun. I'm very happy with the quality, the stitching, and the absorbency, and the prints are so pretty to look at.

Good questions
Most home kitchens find 24 is enough. That lets half be in use while the other half is in the wash. Your ideal number depends on how much you cook and how often you do laundry.
We don’t prewash our fabric, so new towels start out a little water-resistant. Cotton flannel gets thicker, fluffier, and more absorbent after a few washes, and soon holds more than a paper towel.
Not much. A 24-pack takes up about as much room in the washer as one midweight flannel shirt, so it fits into a regular load.
Rinse pigmented messes under cold running water before they settle in. Spot-treat greasy messes with a little dish soap and rinse with cold water before washing.
With proper care, UNpaper® Towels are built to last 5+ years, and they get softer and more absorbent with age.
No. Flannel naturally clings to itself, so the towels roll onto a tube or dowel without snaps or clips.
They’re handmade by our team in Eugene, Oregon, and every order ships plastic-free.
