Well, I am always looking for a better way to clean. Preferable one that is easy and less expensive than paper towels. And if I can find something more earth friendly at the same time, that is a bonus. So, of course I was super excited to get the chance to try out this great new (well new to me at least) product: SKOY eco-friendly household cleaning cloths! I was sent a super cute set of colorful SKOY cloths to try out like the ones pictured above.

First, Let me tell you about them in their words:

SKOY is an eco-friendly household cleaning cloth that outlasts 15 rolls of paper towels. This new approach to cleaning boasts a cloth that is 100% biodegradable, natural, and re-usable. The SKOY cloth has an absorption factor of 15x its own weight, which makes it far superior than any other cloth on the market. SKOY is a durable cloth that is washer and dryer safe, which means it can be used over and over again. This European-made product is non-toxic and utilizes original artwork designs to add fun as well as function to the kitchen or bathroom.

So what was my experience with them? Great! I thought they were all I had hoped-I would describe them as small but mighty! They are not that big, but they can clean up a big mess and then be rinsed and reused! You can even wash them in your dishwasher or washer/dryer if they get really messy! Some other similar products I have tried tend to fall apart quickly, but these are so durable! I have to be honest and say that even though I was given a 4 pack, I have only used one of them (for a week) and it is still going strong. And lets be honest, I am a sucker for super cute things, and these are SUPER cute (see the picture above)! I highly recommend you check them out.

How can you buy them? You can buy them at http://www.skoycloth.com/index_files/shopping.htm. They run 6.99 for a pack of 4 Cloths.

How can you WIN some? One LUCKY Beckees Deals reader will win a 4 pack of the white with flower style Skoy cloths!!

I am pretty excited about this promotion. It has already been done a few times, but starting at 8:00 am CT on Friday, December 17 (TOMORROW), CoastalContacts will give away a FREE pair of prescription glasses to the first 10,000 fans who order!!!!

Here is how to get this:

1. Go Like CoastalContacts on Facebook now!

2. Make sure you have your prescription handy!!

3. Get your coupon code under the “Get the Code” tab.

4. They recommend you pick out 3-5 frames you like NOW before fighting the crowd to get this deal in the morning. That way when it goes live you will already know what you are looking for while you are trying to fight the crowd/web traffic. I assume A LOT of people will be trying to be in the first 10,000, so the more prepared you are, and the quicker you can check out the better!! GO here to their website to choose the frames out.

5. Be ready to go when the deal goes live (8AM) and use your code for free frames and 1.5 index lenses.
