Customer Reviews of Seventh Generation Paper Towels, Natural, 2-Ply Sheets (Pack of 30)
Customer Review: A MUST HAVE! Healthier for the environment and you.
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend this item to anyone concerned with the environment. I initially ordered them because of the number of paper towels we use in the care and cleaning of the snakes we raise. I love the fact that they are made using 100% recycled paper. The towels are also free of dyes, inks, fragrances and they are unbleached! These qualities are great for our snakes because reptiles are sensitive to bleach and dyes. Thanks to the "green" qualities of this product I feel that my reptiles are healthier as a result of my using them. These same qualities make them safer for use around children as well. I have also found that they are just as strong and hold up as well or better than the paper towels I formerly used in cleaning around the house. I will never go back to the name brand "pretty" paper towels. Function, safety and cost are the main criteria behind my purchases and these meet (and in some cases exceed) those concerns. Just give them a try, you will not regret it.Customer Review: I like em'
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading several reviews about paper towels that used recycled paper, I was hesitant to make the switch from Bounty to a natural brand. I first tried the white Seventh Generation paper towels and was disappointed. The paper seemed to disintegrate when it came into contact with water. I didn't have much hope for the the unbleached version, but was pleasantly surprised to learn that the product is a little stronger. Yes, the paper is rough, but not like the cheap paper towels in restrooms. No, it's not as absorbent as Bounty, but it is more absorbent than generic brands. You may not be able to scrub the counter with these paper towels or suspend items with it, but you will be able to wipe your hands and mouth during meals, or dampen the towels to cover food to be heated in the microwave. You can even clean up light spills and wipe down mirrors. For heavier jobs, use a dish towel and save a tree. It's not always convenient when going green.Customer Review: LOVE these paper towels!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am SO happy with these paper towels...especially the fact that I can compost them! I use them to wrap produce in and then put them in green bags. I also fold a couple of them in half to put in the plastic clamshells that my organic greens come in. It helps keep the produce fresh for SO long. Once I use the produce, I just let the paper towels dry and then use them again to clean my countertops with a squirt of my all natural cleaner. I love knowing I'm making an impact on the environment, too, and have these on autoship. I guess the only downside, if you can call it that, is that the sheets are a little smaller than what you're used to with your standard, bleached store brand. Also, since they are compostable, they're not filled with rag or other "fillers" that make them more heavy duty...like a scrub cloth; but, I didn't expect that. I think they're a great product!Customer Review: Do the math

Updated July 21, 2010 (thanks to Sam Evans for pointing out the changes in sheets per roll)
You might be comparing these brown paper towels with the 30 rolls of Seventh Generation, white paper towels also sold on Amazon wondering which is cheaper.
Note that these brown ones are 120 sheets per roll. The white ones are 70 sheets per roll.
White paper towels
$42.01/(30*112) = 1.3 cents per sheet.
Brown paper towels
$58.11/(30*120) = 1.6 cents per sheet.
So the white ones are now cheaper, however some have mentioned that the sheets are smaller in the white roll. I'll leave it to someone else to do the cost per square foot calculation.
Customer Review: Gets the job done without killing trees
Summary: 5 Stars
These get the job done just great for me, and with subscribe and save they are significantly cheaper than buying from anywhere else. Also, I love the mission of Seventh Generation and the fact that they create quality products that have less impact on the environment.
As the top reviewer said, be prepared to stash these somewhere, 30 rolls is more than you think. When I lived in an apartment I had to stash them under my bed because I didn't have room anywhere else. That said, it's quite nice to always have paper towels on hand since one box of these things lasts me a year. I think if I didn't have pets they would last even longer.
