Know before you buy
One Jangneus dishcloth is designed to replace up to 17 rolls of paper towels. Because it is machine washable and highly durable, you can reuse a single cloth for months before needing to compost it.
No, the cellulose and cotton blend is specifically engineered to be lint-free. It is ideal for cleaning glass, mirrors, and stainless steel surfaces without leaving streaks or fibers behind.
You can clean the cloth by placing it in the top rack of your dishwasher or tossing it in the washing machine with your regular laundry. To sanitize, you can also boil it briefly or microwave it while damp for one minute.
Because the cloth is made from 100% natural, biodegradable fibers, you can simply place it in your home compost bin. It will break down naturally, leaving no synthetic waste behind.
It is versatile enough for both. Use it dry to dust surfaces or absorb spills, or wet it to activate its soft, sponge-like texture for scrubbing countertops and washing dishes.
The cloth is designed to dry very quickly between uses, which significantly inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. As long as you wring it out after use, it will remain fresh much longer than a standard kitchen sponge.
