Why Use a Cotton Dishcloth? (Spoiler: It’s a Small Switch with Big Impact)
When it comes to sustainable swaps, we often think of reusable shopping bags, stainless steel water bottles, paper straws. But some of the most powerful changes start right at the kitchen sink.
Enter: the cotton dishcloth. Cute, humble, and wildly underrated.
Let’s chat about why it might just become your new fave cleaning sidekick—especially if we’re talking about the Jade and May organic waffle cotton dishcloth because it's good.. really good
So, what’s so special about a cotton dishcloth?
You’d be surprised how many synthetic microfibre cloths sneak into our homes. And these often shed microplastics with every wash and are made from—you guessed it—plastic-based fibres that don’t break down - which we hate using in our kitchen, and if you are reading this I'm think you do, too!
On the flip side, a cotton dishcloth is:
- Made from natural fibres
- Biodegradable
- Gentle on skin and surfaces
- Super absorbant
- Less stinky than the synthetic versions
- And, dare we say it… actually nice to look at?
Especially the Jade and May organic waffle cotton dishcloth. That textured waffle weave is designed to absorb, scrub, and dry quickly, all while being kind to the planet and your aesthetic. Textured enough to get the dried food off the plates with ease, yet soft enough to polish your marg glasses for taco tuesday
5 Reasons You’ll Love Using a Cotton Dishcloth
1. It's eco-friendly (without trying too hard)
Because cotton is a natural fibre, your dishcloth isn’t secretly releasing tiny plastics into waterways.. or leaving anything on your plates or cutlery. Plus, when it reaches the end of its life (in the distant future - these seriously last ages!), it will actually break down. Mother Earth approves.
2. Soft yet scrubby
That waffle texture? It's not just for looks. It offers a gentle scrub that’s safe on everything from your best glassware to that stubborn pot you burnt tonight's dinner onto (No judgment)
3. Machine washable & reusable
No more gross-smelling sponges sitting in the sink. Hang it over the edge of the sink and it'll last for days.. maybe longer. When you think it needs a clean toss your cotton dishcloth in the wash with any old wash, give it a fresh start, and use it again and again. Easy peasy
4. Saves you money over time
One quality cotton dishcloth can replace packets of the synthetic versions and rolls and rolls (and rolls) of paper towel. It’s the kind of math we love
5. Looks good just hanging there
Let’s be honest—if something’s going to be draped over your tap, it might as well be cute. The Jade and May organic waffle cotton dishcloth comes in a range of colours to choose from. A win for your style and your sustainability goals
