I use this product around the house. I cut up the absorber, and always keep a piece near the kitchen sink for all kinds of clean up, as well as in the bathroom. It truly does last for years, and I've reduced my use of paper towel to almost nil. Because it is so soft, it won't scratch any surfaces. To avoid bacterial build-up, I wash it with household soap and do not follow the recommendation to store it damp, but it revives immediately when it is wet again.

I cut them in half and use them for window washing with a squeegee( to wipe rubber blade dry) I no longer have to continually replace with a dry towel. Just squeeze out the excess water and keep on going. They will become hard if not kept in a plastic bag for storage

Other than drying your car, this cloth has many other uses. It can be used on countertops, on your dog after a bath or as a bath towel in itself.

I remember swim team kids having chamois in Korea that they used to dry off with and this cloth does an excellent job of that. The pool, the beach or as a sweat rag, this chamois can handle anything. I take mine whenever I travel and use it as a bath towel and I never have to worry about how sanitary towels are.

When it gets too dirty, all you have to do is throw it in the washing machine and all the dirt gets cleaned off. Remembering to store it wet and in its' tube goes a long way toward having it ready to use.

One more thing, no matter what it says, it can indeed get moldy. No matter what, DO NOT store this in a dark place. First the smell arrives, then the spots and before you know it, you have an absorber that has mildew damage and while it still works, it wont last as long.

Overall, this is a great product and I will continue to buy them til they are no longer in production.

I bought this Absorber for each of my adult children's stockings for Christmas and they are great. My husband is a "REAL Chamois" fan and he used my daughter's Absorber one day and was sold. So I had to get him his own!

I have used many products to dry my cars over the years, this is the best. I even bought a cheaper product that looked the same to relace my first Absorber, a mistake. I ended up buying another Absorder. I should note my first one still worked fine, it was just looking old after a few years of use. I give The Abdsorber an A+ nothing works better.
