Know before you buy
The Kaya dishcloth features an eight-layer gauze structure that provides 1.3 times the absorbency of traditional cotton. This allows it to hold more liquid while remaining lightweight and efficient for daily kitchen tasks.
Yes, the cloth may feel slightly stiff initially due to the traditional starch used in the weaving process. It will soften significantly and become plush after its first rinse in warm water.
Thanks to its multi-layered gauze construction, the fabric is designed for quick drying. It releases moisture much faster than thicker, single-ply cotton towels, which helps prevent odors from developing.
Absolutely. Its durable yet soft texture makes it versatile enough for wiping down countertops, cleaning spills, or even as a gentle hand towel. The 30 x 30 cm size is specifically designed to be manageable for various kitchen surfaces.
Because it is made from rayon, we recommend rinsing it thoroughly after use and hanging it to dry. Avoid using harsh bleach, as it can compromise the integrity of the delicate embroidery and the rayon fibers.
