I MAD A HUGE !! MISTAKE… lol

They’re a nice product….BUT I bought them accidentally!!! I was 1/2 asleep when ordering that night . I looked at the PAPER TOWELS I wanted…. But I made the mistake of buying them . Imagine how stupid I felt when I opened them and realized what they were!! Haha . After a lot of laughs I decided to give a couple of packs to my sister, daughter, quite a few friends. I lost about $26 no fault of anyone but me . But decided it was too much hassle to try and return them . I try to always be generous to people, and they appreciated the gesture.

Better than 2 ply

We bought this product and the Georgia Pacific 2 ply at the same time to compare. Was amazed to discover that this one ply does better than the 2 ply did. Held up better. Only had to use one sheet to dry hands as opposed to 2 sheets of the 2 ply. Cost is much better even though you have to pay shipping on this item since you get twice as many sheets.

Great substitute for your paper towel rolls

Of course, everyone is washing their hands more often due to CVOID-19. The use of cloth towels is contraindicated. These towels are a very economical way to dry your hands after washing them. The price for these compared to a roll of paper towels is much less.

No longer a good product!

These have gotten so thin, cheaply made that you cannot even pull them out of the dispensor because they break off, even though the dispensor is only half way full. I guess that is their way of cutting cost. They use to be great for the office but we may just have to start using rolls of paper towels. They are now awful so look at the dates when you read all the great reviews.

Stronger than facial tissues & paper towels

Stronger and more resilient than ordinary facial tissues and will not disintegrate like ordinary facial tissues. They are also stronger than typical paper towels. They do not leave paper fibers on surfaces like the others someti8mes do. We still use facial tissues and paper towels but having Marathon Multifold paper towels readily available gives us the option to select the more resilient towels for many household tasks. We have dispensers in our kitchen, dining area, two bathrooms and an office/gymnasium.

Newer design is garbage

The quality of this product used to be great, but it's been "redesigned" using cheaper materials. The result is the paper on these hand towels has gotten so thin that they rip apart the moment they get wet. Save your money and buy trifold towels elsewhere!

Marathon paper towel versatility

During this pandemic time and on occasion shortage of paper towel rolls, this seems to be more cost effective. I have found decorative containers to place these sturdy towels in and have them in both my kitchen and bathrooms. Sturdy enough for hand washing, wiping spills and drying off items. These Marathon tri-fold towels also take up less space in the trashcan. I a totally pleased with my purchase.

Quality has gone down hill!!

These paper towels were a favorite of our center until around two weeks ago! The quality has changed terribly! We could use them wet to wipe children's faces, table tops, etc. until we got our last 4 boxes. When wet, they now just fall apart! It is similar to wetting tissue paper or a Kleenex.

Not great, overall.

This product doesn't fully fit width & depth-wise inside the dispenser. So it shifts around a lot during dispensing and use, affecting proper dispensing and often causing over-dispensing and waste. Even when the product is well centered in the dispenser, dispensing can be difficult.

reply from Georgia-Pacific

Hello, This is Sandy with Georgia Pacific. Depending on the type of dispenser you have, you may need a converter plate to be able to use a multifold towel in your dispenser due to the different width compared to a c-fold towel. For assistance and a possible no charge converter plate please call GP at 866-435-5647. Thank you.
