SOME OF
THE CUSTOMER REVIEWS ABOUT
THIS CLEANING SUPPLIES LIST [ SAMPLE ]
1) So-called "giant rolls" now SMALLER with larger sheets. - This is the second reduction in quality Sparkle has made in the last six months. First it was the paper quality, now it's the quantity.
The so-called giant rolls, which used to be 121 sq. ft. with 144 select-a-size sheets per roll, are now only 114.4 sq. ft, with 107 larger-sized sheets per roll.
So each roll now has 6.6 sq. ft. less paper and 37 fewer sheets per roll. The sheets have gone from 5.5" wide to 7" wide, so what you do get goes faster, as well. If you're looking for the same small sheets to stretch out your paper usage, you'll want to take this into consideration.
The cynical side of me says they made the size change to make consumers use the rolls faster, but it may actually be helpful due to the fact that since Sparkle towels became much thinner and coarser, I've found myself having to use two of these lesser quality towels where one previously sufficed. A bit more paper in the larger sheets helps reduce that problem a bit, but defeats the economical purpose of buying select-a-size. Either way, they're not the good deal they used to be.
They're still slightly better than some grocery store house brands, which are like toilet paper, but with this ridiculous reduction in quantity for essentially the same price, one can buy the much better quality Bounty on sale at a local grocery store for nearly the same cost, which I intend to do next time.

2) Great value and nice product - Since I don't find much difference in their quality, this is just to compare the cost per square yard:
Sparkle: each roll: 107 2-ply sheets per roll, 11 in x 7 in; 24-roll pack: $25.99 - $3.90 (15% subscribe & save discount with 5 items and above) - $0.75 (1st delivery) = $21.34; so per square yard this is 21.34 / ( 11/36 * 7/36 * 107 * 2 * 24 ) = $0.070
Bounty: each roll: 175 2-ply sheets per roll, 11 in x 6 in; 12-roll pack: $28.48 - $3.00 (1st delivery) = $25.48; so per square yard this is 25.48 / ( 11/36 * 6/36 * 175 * 2 * 12 ) = $0.119
For Kirkland Signature: each roll: 80 2-ply sheets per roll, 11 in x 14 in; 12-roll pack: $16.16; so per square yard this is 16.16 / ( 11/36 * 14/36 * 80 * 2 * 12 ) = $0.071.
