Question Are those washing mitts OK, or do they cause scratches/swirls?

Are those washing mitts OK, or do they cause scratches/swirls? Are 100% cotton bathroom towels better?

I won't be the only one here to suggest the Cotton wash mits from "Viking."

They have a pretty strong following here. Use light pressure when using them to lessen the chance of scratching.

Captain Jeff is right. Use the 100% cotton wash mitt. Viking is the most popular. I think Kiwi also has a 100% cotton wash mitt.

Anything made of cotton is fine, whether a wash mit or part of cotton toweling.

Thumbs up

Yeah, I agree with the consensus. Viking is a really good mitt for a good price. It's pretty gentle even scrubbing heavy dirt and grime. However, I think they may have changed the 100% cotton mitts to something of lesser quality. Shame on you Viking!
