Costco terry towel pack actually cotton!

The terry towels that come 48 in a pack for $12.47 are REAL cotton.

They passed the burn test.

I washed all 48 of them and took all the lint from the lint screen in the dryer and burned it outside.

The whole wad of lint burned up into a white grey ash and just blew away in the wind. It did NOT burn up into a hard plastic lump.

I did not burn the actual base or edge of the towel to see if it is 100% cotton as well.

These towels are soft and nice. I have yet to test on paint. With my microfibers on hand, I probably won't.

For roughly a quarter a piece, they are nice to have handy in the arsenal.

Yep! I love costco!

I have been using the yelow MF for months now without marring, they are holding up really well.

I have used the terry for over a year now for grunge jobs, very good deal.

Their APC for <$5 for 1.25 gallons is great.

OT....Their kirklands brand dogfood is a good deal as well!

Yeah man...those terry's rock...after you wash them they get all thick and fluffy.

Their pack of shop rags (dyed red) is a good deal too for things like changing the oil..etc.


I love Costco!

on the subject of dog food...our cats dig the Kirkland cat food better than the real Iams!
