In General, I feel like these posts are useless unless you post the brand, where to buy it. A review, anything. Otherwise, all we may know is you hate potatoes and it just never gets used.

Brushed Stainless Steel.
I have a steel culinary table I've converted into a computer desk and I love it.
Cheap. Durable. Easy to clean and no coatings or maintenance.

Unless you're trying for some sort of ultralight-backpacking goal, a good camping towel in your pack is invaluable. Ranks right up there with a decent sit pad in the ranks of "never thought I would want one until I had one" items.

I love my glass top table! Sure it shows fingerprints but it's so so easy to clean. And it makes the room look bigger! My table legs are wood, can't imagine going full glass but I love it!

Thanks to both of you haha! I will definitely try! Cleaning didn't help but I'll open it up and see what I can do.

If you are seen holding a mop, you are usually expected to use it.

Another comment mentioned Rubbermaid and I had no idea they made mops! That’s what I’ve been doing but with towels so I’ll definitely have to look into their mops and save my knees/back. Thank you!

Yes! Mine is a medium. Large seems like it'd be overkill for any of my purposes.

What's your budget? You could look at MM LaFleur. I have a ton of items from them... they're investment pieces, wear like iron, and are all timeless styles.

Rubbermaid commercial for sure. I go with the Hygen which allows for swappable microfiber heads. I buy the cleansers I use for wood or tile in bulk then mix them up in commercial spray bottles, spray generously, mop, and then wash the head. They've lasted years so far.

I have No-Mes, they work well. A little big, might be hard to see your own nails if you have small nails. But otherwise great.

Op I dunno why you've been getting sarky comments just because it didn't last your whole lifetime. Poster above is probably totally right though, unless it's been damaged in some way you can most likely follow their steps to get it working again. :)

Bought this for backpacking in 2012 because they are very thin and can be squeezed until almost completely dry. Used it exclusively for the 4+ month trip, even when hotel towels were provided. Have continued using it regularly since.
It's made of the type of fabric that effortlessly pulls the water right off of you (think Shamwow infomercial). After wringing, dries in a matter of minutes in front of a fan and can be rolled up to about the size of a soda can.
There have been multiple occasions when my wife and I, and even my son have all been able to use this one towel to dry off completely.
I've done lots of research over the years, and bought many different products for travelling, but I can easily say that this is the single best travel item I've ever purchased.
I'm fairly certain they're still sold on the manufacturer's website.

Just a question, when did people start calling sweatshirts sweaters? Like aren’t sweaters the knitted tops? I’m confused.
