Know before you buy
Each cloth is highly absorbent, holding up to 15 times its weight in water, and one pack of three is designed to replace over 15 rolls of paper towels. They are a more sustainable, reusable alternative for everyday kitchen spills and surface cleaning.
No, they are designed to dry very quickly, which helps prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Simply lay them flat to dry between uses to keep them fresh.
These cloths are not machine washable. They are designed to be rinsed and reused, and because they are made from a cellulose and cotton blend, they are fully compostable once they reach the end of their lifespan.
When dry, the cloths are stiff and thin for easy storage. Once they get wet, they expand and become soft, flexible, and highly effective for wiping down counters or cleaning up spills.
With regular use, these cloths are durable enough to be reused repeatedly for up to a year. Once they show signs of wear, you can dispose of them in your compost bin.
