i kinda like their canadian equivalent - they're ~30x50cm and very thin, yes? i use the hell out of them, until they fall apart. basically i use them instead of papertowels (which is what you'd apparently call kitchentowels or kitchenroll -- a roll of absorbent paper in pre-stamped sheets that you can just rip). we have those, but i mostly use them for cat puke or the like, where i want to wipe the stuff into the towel and throw it all away. as opposed to spills, where i wipe and then rinse the jcloth. i use it for washing dishes when they're not very dirty and need no scrubbing power, and for all sorts of light cleaning duty.
their main drawback is that they're not veryabsorbent when dry, they just push the liquid around then; they need to be moist. also, they get manky, but i just toss them in with a bit of sink laundry and that freshens them right up.
i am not entirely sure why i like them better than dishcloths, but i do. it might just be that i can squeeze them out with one hand while a dishcloth needs two.
