5) What's the difference between a Shamwow and a real chamois?

A regular leather chamois can not absorb that much water and gets hard when it dries. The Shamwow absorbs 20 times its weight in water, doesn't drip when you take it to the sink and when it dries, it stays soft. Shamwow towels can also be used for household and many other uses
 
6) What are the dimensions of the Shamwows and can I cut them?

The large Shamwows are 20 x 27 inches and the mini Shamwows are 15 x 15 inches. You can cut the large ones in half to use as a bath mat, drain your dishes, under your crisper to keep the veggies fresh and even make smaller ones for dish rags.

7) Will it scratch the surface?

The Shamwow will not scratch the surface. It is made with a cloth like material that turns into a soft leathery feel afterwards.

8) How long will they last?

Because the Shamwow is so durable, we warranty the Shamwow for 10 years.
We've had reports of people having a similar product that would last over 20 years.
If anything happens within 10 years to the product, we would fully exchange the product, however, there is a $7.95 Shipping and Handling fee.

9) Will I never have to buy paper towels again?

Use paper towels for some things, like as a napkin. But for everything else, such as counter tops, dishes, windows, polishing, dusting, and everyday uses, we recommend using the mini Shamwows!

10) What's the difference between the Shamwows! and the mini Shamwows!?

The Shamwow is for your big spills, your big jobs like cleaning the bathroom walls, carpet stains or drying your vehicles. For wiping smaller spills, everyday spills, use the mini Shamwows!

11) Can I dry sweaters with the Shamwow?

Yes. Place a wet sweater on the Shamwow, roll the wet sweater tight and place a rubber band around the rolled Shamwow In a few hours it'll dry your sweaters in half the time a towel can.

12) Can I use the Shamwow as a towel?

Yes. Olympic swimmers have been using it as a towel for many years. Cut it in half and you'll have 2 towels. You can use it wet or dry. That's why pet owners love them.

13) What's the material made out of?

Shamwow is made out of a rayon type of material which is weaved in a certain way to make it feel like felt when you first get it new. But once it becomes wet, it'll turn into a soft leathery material.
