Reviews of European Sponge Cloth
Great for Camping, Great for Travel!
They definitely have their place - Sponge Cloths work great for camping. I used them traveling throughout Europe as a wash cloth (cut in squares) and as a towel to wick away moisture. They dry quickly, which is great when you're on the road. However, at home, I prefer using cloth wash rags and cloth hand towels in the kitchen (1) to avoid the over-use of paper towels, which were originally designed and intended for occasional use, and (2) to avoid accumulated bacteria that sponges harbor.

Eco sponges?
Twist is a company, started in Boulder Colorado, that makes natural, biodegradable sponges and "new twists" on sponge design. The European Sponge Cloth is a cross between a paper towel and a sponge. It is large and thin like a paper towel, but it's made of sponge-like material so it's absorbent and reusable.
I bought a pack of the European sponge cloths, and I like them. I've definitely saved more than a few paper towels by using a sponge cloth instead of paper. I'm a little concerned about using them for a long time, though, because sponges are notorious for harboring bacteria over time.
Twist's products are biodegradable, and the packaging is earth friendly and recyclable. The cardboard packaging can also be made into a bird feeder! I'm not sure how relevant biodegradability is if your sponges end up in a landfill as most trash does, but the company appears to be committed to environmental responsibility on many fronts.
