Generally I never give a one or two stars to items on Amazon, but in this case, one or two stars is a gift.  Yes, the item will absorb as advertised, but compared to other chammies, I am not so sure. The reason for a one star is that one cant wipe or clean up with this item; it will not go over any surface with out hanging up, twisting, etc.  I bought two of them and will return the other.  Don't waste your money.
