Washable paper towels that outlast the roll

The Kitchen Cloth Set covers the small jobs and the big ones without a roll of paper in between. The Sponge Cloth is the everyday size for counters, dishes, and drips. The Sponge Towel is the larger format for messes that normally cost you half a roll. Both are cellulose and organic cotton, absorbing up to 10x their weight and washing clean instead of going in the trash.

When to grab the cloth and when the towel

  1. Counters, dishes, small spills: Sponge Cloth. The everyday size, quick to rinse and quick to dry.
  2. Big spills, drying hands, wiping down a table: Sponge Towel. Sized for what would otherwise take several paper sheets.
  3. Either one: Rinse and air-dry between uses. Machine wash or top-rack dishwasher when it needs a reset.

Kitchen cloths in two sizes

Sponge Cloth

The everyday size at 6.5 by 7.5 inches. Cellulose and organic cotton, absorbent enough for counters, dishes, and spills, and small enough to rinse and dry fast. Machine washable and biodegradable.

Sponge Towel

The larger format at 9.5 by 11.5 inches, sized to replace paper towels by the sheet. Same cellulose and organic cotton, more surface for bigger messes and drying hands. Machine washable and biodegradable.

Stop buying paper towels by the roll

A roll of paper towels lasts a week or two, then the whole thing goes in the trash and you buy another. Cellulose and organic cotton wash clean and go back in the drawer instead. Same absorbency, same wipe, without the standing order.

Before you buy paper towels again

What are reusable paper towels called?

Swedish dishcloths, unpaper towels, or paperless towels, depending on who's selling them. Plastno calls them Sponge Cloths and Sponge Towels. The names differ but the idea is the same: a washable sheet you use and rewash instead of tearing off paper and throwing it away.

Can reusable paper towels be washed?

Yes, that's the whole point. Machine wash with regular laundry or run them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Skip bleach and high heat, both shorten the life of the fibers. Rinse and air-dry between washes and each one holds up for months.

What is the best reusable paper towel?

The one sized for the mess in front of you. A small cloth is faster for counters and dishes, a larger towel handles spills and drying hands without wasting material. This set has both, which is why most people stop reaching for the roll entirely.

What's the difference between the Sponge Cloth and the Sponge Towel?

Size. The Sponge Cloth is 6.5 by 7.5 inches for everyday counter and dish work. The Sponge Towel is 9.5 by 11.5 inches for bigger jobs. Same cellulose and organic cotton in both, so they wash and wear the same way.

What happens when they wear out?

Both are plant-derived and biodegradable, so they break down rather than sitting in landfill like a synthetic microfiber cloth. A worn cloth can go in a backyard compost pile or your green-waste bin. Nothing in either one sheds plastic on the way there.
