Okay, so I've been using these Encasa dish towels for about a month now, and here's the real tea ☕

First off - LOVE the waffle weave texture! They feel so soft and actually look kinda fancy in my kitchen. The 12x12 size is perfect - not too big to handle when wet, but not so small that they're useless.

The absorbency is LEGIT. Like, I spilled an entire glass of water and one towel soaked it all up with room to spare. They dry crazy fast too - I hang them overnight and they're ready to go by morning.

BUT (there's always a but)... The red color does bleed a bit at first. I washed them separately the first few times until the color stopped running. And yeah, food bits do get stuck in the waffle pattern sometimes - just rinse them well!

After washing? They do shrink some but actually get thicker and more absorbent. Mine shrank to about 10x10 which is still totally usable.

Pro tip: Get different colors if you want to use them for different tasks (red for counters, maybe another color for dishes). The pack of 24 lasts forever since you can wash and reuse them.

Overall? 4.5/5 stars from me. They're not perfect but way better than most dish towels I've tried!
