Know before you buy
The cloth measures 53 cm by 53 cm, or approximately 20.87 inches by 20.87 inches, providing a generous square surface area for tea setups.
This item is not machine washable and is not stain-resistant. We recommend spot cleaning by hand with mild soap and water to preserve the fabric and graphic print.
While it is made of soft, absorbent cotton, it is designed primarily as a tea ceremony setting or accessory. Because it is not quick-drying, it is better suited for tea service than heavy-duty kitchen cleanup.
No, the Civilian Chabu is not bleach safe. Using bleach will likely damage the fabric and fade the unique graphic design.
The material is not lint-free, so you may notice some fibers if used to wipe down delicate teaware. It is best utilized as a decorative base or a textile accessory rather than a polishing cloth.
