Microfiber Towels from Method

We first discovered and wrote about method a while back; we loved their product's design and low impact on the planet, with a commitment to non-toxicity and no animal testing. We're glad to see they've been diligently working to add new products since; they're latest innovation encourages us to "throw in the towel." They've introduced new four new microfiber towels designed to stem the flood of paper towels into the waste stream; each microfiber is finer than a human hair and is sliced 16 times, resulting in millions of microscopic hooks in each cloth to capture dirt, dust and even six times their weight in water. Reusing the towels only makes them stronger, too -- using the cloths splits fibers, creating more surface area. The towels come in four varities, specifically designed for a particular medium: glass, granite, stainless steel and wood. There are a multitude of other new products since we've last seen method, and they're now available in the UK as well as the US and Canada. Buy online or at Target, Office Depot, Linens-N-Things and more. ::method
