Comment:
I have used <br />Viva papertowels for over 7 years and always loved them and even defended them to my friends,because they say their too expensive. Unfortunately, the last two rolls I've bought(at two different stores)leave terrible white fuzzies everywhere!! From cleaning mirrors to wiping down counters. That includes drying hands. I don't use sponges, so I am worried I may have to find an alternative.

None
Cons
Too soft and linty
Best Uses
To blow your nose on
Comment:
As a paper towel, I found this particular product to be less usefull that other paper towels I have used. It is too soft (too much like a kleenex) and doesn't hold up to heavy use!
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
