Very Absorbent – But Leaves Lint on Dark Countertops
Paper towels are so expensive these days. That said, I rely on them for wiping up the kitchen or near the cat food eating area. These are so much more absorbent than any other brand I’ve tried. I’ll continue to buy Viva as long as they retain the quality. I also like the size selection.
*** Only negative is that they are fuzzy and leave lint on windows and dark countertops, such as black granite, but at least they are absorbent.
Soft, absorbant, great paper towels
Great paper towels– super absorbant, durable for cleaning up sticky messes, and soft enough for cleaning little (or not so little) hands and even faces! Also great to keep in a car or picnic basket as an alternative to napkins.
very abrasive, no longer soft
i was happy to pay a premium for this product for many years because the towel’s softness. bounty has always been superior in strength and absorption, but viva’s softness made it extremely versatile, as good for cleaning up as it was for napkins or facial tissue substitute.
now the product has changed. the surface is extremely abrasive– almost like a fine emery cloth– and cannot be used on skin comfortably. the soft drape of the towel hasn’t changed, meaning that the towel is still pliable like the old one was, but the rough surface means i have no reason to pay more for this product, and i’d not even buy anymore it if it cost less than other brands. it’s just too abrasive.
