Hey everybody welcome to Tony's reviews watch this video and you may never waste
money on paper towels ever again today I'm reviewing another a steam OTV
product and it's the mighty bamboo towels some of the items that I review
sometimes I'm not super curious about but these are we all use paper towels
every day and they get quite expensive because we use them all the time if
you've got kids you have no control over how many paper towels they use these
mighty bamboo towels say that they're machine washable and they say that you
can wash each towel up to 80 times I'm gonna use them like a regular paper
towel two different uses that shows on the packaging so they're antibacterial
machine washable money-saving and reusable it says wipe dry polish and
scrub I did find these in the paper towel section of a Payless grocery store
and they were 1099 from right here in the packaging they look like regular old
paper towels says there's 3,200 uses per pack
it looks like the towels themselves rip off just like a regular paper towel so
I'm gonna go ahead and rip one of these off okay and you can see they got
they're pretty green eco-friendly looking mighty bamboo towel logo right
there and the towel itself is pretty durable and it feels like I could rip it
in half if I wanted to not as easy the regular paper towel mind you but it does
feel like I could rip it if I wanted to actually I know I could it's starting to
give here at the top as I pull but I'm not gonna rip it in half so what we're
gonna do is we're gonna test it for all juices we're gonna machine wash it and
just see what this thing looks like once it's through the wringer and then maybe
even try it out again
so first we're gonna use a regular old paper towel man this is a mess it's full
I'm gonna go see if we can rinse this baby out and reuse it and as you can see
I'm using my ass seen on TV turbo flex right here this helps us to rinse things
off and change directions of water if you'd like to check one of these asking
on TV turbo flexes out and just click on the link above so I got the paper towel
all rinsed out we're gonna go finish up cleaning up that mess and even though
the selector size did rip apart we still have the paper towel intact and it feels
okay I'm not gonna pull - I worked a whole but let's go clean up the rest of
that mess still some water intact and we're gonna try to finish cleaning up
the rest of this mess here
got another big old mess of this stuff and we'll rinse this out now okay we
still have a little bit here I think it's mostly syrup on the outside but
with a little bit of warm water on this it seems to be picking it up pretty good
okay and for the most part it's pretty much cleaned up so that's a regular
paper towel there and this is pretty much cleaned up I don't feel any
stickiness or anything here now I didn't use any cleaners or anything you know in
the real world I probably would go back over this with some cleaner but we're
just testing out this paper towel just to see what it can do on its own so this
did pretty good and that will make another mess and we'll use one of the
bamboo towels on it
so here's one of the bamboo towels and we're gonna challenge it up against this
nasty mess so here we go
let's wrangle this all up in here it seems to be holding up a little bit
better than the paper towel it seemed to grab this a little bit more almost like
a pocket the paper towel did seem to let things bleed through a little bit more
so I think there is a little bit of a thickness to this that there isn't what
the paper towel and I'm just saying that because you can't see that in real life
so here we go we'll rinse this out and then we'll use it to wipe up the rest of
this yeah okay that rinsed out really nice and it feels like it's still pretty
durable see if we can get the rest of this up in one swoop
all right I got it like a pocket now and it feels like it's got it all in there
pretty secure so I don't feel a whole lot of the residue coming through here
and I'll wipe it up and this feels perfectly clean now without using any
kind of cleaner so these do actually pick up better than a regular old paper
towel so it just took me to wiping --zz with this thing and it picked it up
really nice and clean there's no stickiness here I didn't use any kind of
cleaners so I think the bamboo towel works pretty good and better than a
regular paper towel so what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a durability test
on this and this is the bamboo towel holding a full bunch of large bananas
plus three large bananas and it's not showing any signs of giving out so it's
not showing any signs of ripping here on the bottom and this towels been used and
rinsed out three times now so so I've got a standard paper towel here in this
paper towel does have the Selective sides in it so what I'm going to do is
I'm trying to be fair about this so I'm going to put the bananas in here this
way so that you know they'll be able to withstand even if they give way on this
a little bit
a regular old paper towel I tried to slip the bananas in there and it just
ripped right in half and this had nothing to do with the Selective size it
just ripped right in half so this was dry so I'm not even going to test it wet
because wet just compromises the strength so that just shows you that the
mighty bamboo towel is super duper strong so that wasn't really much of the
test but you got to see it here first kind of a pate and what kind of a paper
towel versus bamboo towel would this be without doing an absorbency test let's
do it and for the absorbency test we're using diet dr. pepper cherry pour a
little bit of cherry dr. pepper down on two places the same size petal here on
one of the petals we've got a regular paper towel and on this pedal we've got
the bamboo towel and we're just going to see if there's any difference in the
absorbency
and right from the start it looks like the bamboo towel seems to have more
control over the spill whereas the paper towel it seems to kind of stretch out a
little bit further let's go for a general wipe down effect and see what
happens try to use the dry area to wipe it up and the paper towel does okay and
the bamboo towel let's see how it does
and the bamboo towel does just fine too so it looks like the bamboo towel did a
little better at like grabbing up the liquid and a paper towel obviously to
let it bleed a little bit more but it wasn't a huge difference but I do think
the main blue towel did a better job you don't realize how filthy things are
until you start to film them and I realized that this washing machine
actually inside the lid here is pretty filthy somebody's one of the bamboo
towels to wipe it out real quick and then we'll wash three of them together
okay so we got some more filth on there and this is the towel I've been using
from the start so it's been put through the wringer pretty good so I'm putting
just a touch of tide simply cleaning here with them so not much at all just
because there's not much here to wash and we'll get it started wash for a full
cycle
and what came out see what they look like got three of them in here
all three of them did really well in the washing machine the one that we use for
the desks this got a little discoloration but it came out pretty
clean so I got them hanging out here in my garage and I'll let them dry
overnight right here are the towels that I had in the washing machine they're all
dry now and this is the one that I kind of put through the wringer yesterday and
I can tell that it has lost some of its strength it's not quite as bounce-back
II as the other ones fill so I'll just let you in on that you guys can't really
see this as well as I can but it's still a lot stronger than a regular paper
towel would be after being run through a washing machine so these were washed in
cold water and they seemed to have held up really nicely and this one that's
really been put through the wringer will try to clean something up with it real
quick and see if it's still absorbent okay a little bit of cherry dr. pepper
there and it seems to be grabbing it
and it picked it up just nicely though you don't even see it dripping out or
anything so did a pretty good job with that and I have a lot of faith in this
thing somewhat I put all the bananas in it and I've got the whole bunch plus a
couple of large bananas in this mighty bamboo talent is still holding up after
being put through a washing machine and being washed and used a few times and
it's still pretty strong so I'm impressed and right here I'll show you I
plan on just using these bamboo towels just like a regular old paper towel and
sort of like a dishrag at the same time I'm just going to be using them and then
rinsing him out and hanging them over my sink and just letting them dry out and
reusing them again so I think these things are pretty nice and these s see
me on TV mighty man blue towel say that they're made of 84 percent bamboo
viscose and they say they're made of 16 percent polyester hey-hey-hey you didn't
leave let's do a big-ass thing on TV shout out to the ShamWow which is right
here behind me we know that's kind of the king of all
Nam disposable towels this dude can do everything from clean
your house to dry your car I'm going to show you what I think of regular paper
towels compared to the a sink on TV mighty bamboo towels this is what I
think of regular paper towels now such as sealove TV mighty bamboo towels
turned out to do exactly what they said they would do you can rent them through
a washing machine you can use them multiple times I didn't use them as many
times as you can but you can use these a bunch of times and these things just
keep bouncing back and they really do they work really nicely
this is the thing we as a society we like to have things that are disposable
are we gonna reuse these I don't know it's one of those things that you would
just probably have to have around your house for a few months to decide if
you're really going to use it or not you have to probably get a little bit
disciplined to want to you know rinse these out and then dry them and reuse
them or even just to rinse them out and hang them on your sink and then reuse
them I think a lot of people probably would do that use them as pickup towels
but as far as like hand drying towels I don't know if we'd be disciplined enough
to use those because I know at my house now I use a ShamWow in my kitchen to dry
my hands with most of the time before that I used paper towel
quite a bit and I wasted a lot of paper towels and I'll be honest every now and
again I still do I highly recommend these I will have a link in the
description if you'd like to order a set of these I think you'll be able to find
them in the paper towel section and if you can't find them like I said I'll
have a link in the description so you might want to check them out if you
