These little dishcloths will make you gleefully anticipate a sink full of dirty dishes just so you can use them! This is a set of three little washcloths sized just right to fit in your hand, about 5 x 5 inches. My friends and I think this is the perfect size for hand-washing dishes.
Throw out your sponges and use these washable, long-lasting dishcloths instead. They are made from two layers of soft hemp french terry fabric, sewn together with the scrubby, bumpy side out. The fabric is a natural unbleached color. The edges are serged with colored thread, please indicate your desired color upon checkout. See the last two photos for available thread colors.
New hemp/bamboo blend fabric available! Choose if you would like the 55% hemp/45% organic cotton, or 55% hemp/45% bamboo! The bamboo/hemp blend is even softer than the hemp/cotton blend, great to use for sensitive skin.
The BEST PART about these little wash cloths is that they are made out of hemp. We could go on forever about how sustainable, absorbent, and long-lasting the hemp fiber is. But the most wonderful thing about hemp for a dishcloth is this: you can leave it in your sink for awhile and it won't get that yucky-rag smell. That's because hemp is naturally anti-fungal and anti-bacterial. It does not attract and collect those yucky microbial friends that make your cotton dishrag and sponge smell disgusting. (Yes, if you want to push your luck and leave it wet in the sink all week, it will eventually start getting funky. But it takes a lot longer to reach that point than cotton does.) Hemp is also more absorbent than cotton.
These dishcloths are made from pre-washed fabric, but they will continue to get a little more absorbent each time you wash them, reaching full absorbency after about 6-7 washings. I have been making and using these for years, I love them, and I wanted to share them with you. I think you will agree that they are the best dish cloths you have ever owned.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS: Hemp is a durable fiber. You may wash and dry these the same way you do your cotton towels. I do recommend that you use a detergent without chemical fragrances, dyes, or fabric softeners. You should avoid all fabric softeners (including dryer sheets). These will not ruin your towels, but they will coat the fibers and make them less absorbent (and will pollute the air in your home and neighborhood). Bleach will make the fibers break down and wear out, but a little splash of bleach in your washing machine once a month shouldn't hurt. If your towels or wash cloths start to get stained or get a funky smell that won't wash away, try drying them outside on a line (sunshine is great for battling stains and odors). A few drops of tea tree oil in the wash will also help kill any mildew that gets an upper hand in your towels.
All items are sewn and packaged by me in my smoke-free and pet-free home.
"I absolutely love these dishcloths!!! They work beautifully for doing dishes and wiping down counters - and they really are no stink!!! The organic hemp material used lets them breath and they don't harbor bacteria. Everyone should know about these wonderful gems and include them in their kitchen essentials. They would make great gifts and come nicely packaged. Great seller and quick shipping! I'll be back for more."

"These are nice and sturdy and have been holding up well to washing. It has taken me a little getting used to not having the heft of a sponge after years of using a sponge to wash dishes, but as I have gotten used to using a cloth instead, my dish washing is back to its usual speed. I am so glad not to be adding plastic to the water every time I wash dishes, which is why I stopped buying commercial sponges."

Just what I wanted! Thank you!!
Perfect for quick wipe downs of the kitchen counters, great at absorbing spills, soft enough to clean the lens on cellular devices and glasses and all around great convenience in our home!
This is my second time ordering these cloths. I love the small size. They wash and dry really well. They do shrink very slightly but can be stretched out as soon as they get wet again. I’m very happy with my purchase.
Perfect small dish cloths. I really appreciate the small size and the quality of the items. Thank you!
I love these. Exactly what I was needing. The wait was worth it! They arrived perfect and so beautiful! Thank you for such attention to detail. They are really lovely and so nice I almost don't want to use them. :)
Also perfect! The hemp feels a little more rough, perfect for more scrubbing and the bamboo ones feel silkier. Almost like terrycloth. Thank you again. Both kinds are exactly what I was needing.
I have been using these dish clothes for years! It's absolutely true that the fabric is smelli resistant vs cotton/ synthetic. The wash clothes are also very long lasting. Highly recommended!
The owner added loops to the corners as requested and the cloths are perfect, easily drip drying from S-hooks.
These are perfect. I got ten for face-washcloths with one color of border and ten to use to keep the moisture and mold off veggies/etc in another color. They are a perfect size and the owner attached loops to the corners so I can hang them to dry. I like how they have a bit of scrub for exfoliation, and they dry faster than a typical washcloth. Thank you so much!
I love these dishrags and would buy them again.
This will definitely replace sponges in a kitchen! Along with the wool scrubbing pad, it’s now my go-to for washing dishes. The fabric is soft but has just enough grit to clean well, and the smallest size is perfect. Will see how well it holds up after few months of use.
My order’s shipping label was printed 3 days after purchase and shipped the following day, arriving 7.5 days after I placed the order.
Love these rags!! They work great for washing up kids, wiping the counter, etc.
Receive quickly and we are back to washing dishes! Great product.
My sponges have now been retired. I was worried that the smaller wash cloths would be too small. Nope, just the right size for doing dishes and getting inside glasses. I find the larger "standard" cotton dishcloths to be too big and unwieldy, these are just right. The hemp cotton blend dried quickly. I simply wrung it out and draped it over my faucette. Once side is slightly "scrubbier" than the other. I plan to try a few out as washcloths in the shower, too.
Hefty material and fast delivery
So handy! Great size. I decided I also need to get the next size up too.
I gave these as a gift and they were exactly what was hoped for. An excellent, high-quality product that was shipped quickly and met all expectations. Thanks!
Perfect love my new dishcloths. Already in use and they work great! Awesome shop 😊
Love it!
Love using these! Have noticed that they take way longer to smell than any other dish rags i’ve used. They were smaller than i was expecting, and at first I wished I had bought a larger size but now that im used to them I have come around and like using the small sizes.
Well made, perfect for their purpose, easy to care for. Thanks for making such great products!
Exactly what I was hoping for. Much easier to wash dishes with these compared to a sponge.
These dishcloths have a great feel and are little workhorses.
These are so well made and the perfect eco- friendly replacement for kitchen sponges!
Love these for washing dishes. They are the perfect size and very sturdy, and don't get stinky like sponges. Also very sustainable. Thanks!
I have purchased these for my sister, daughter, and nieces. We love them. They don’t mildew and they have a little nubby feel that helps rinse dishes better. Thank you these are perfect.
Love love love these!!! They never smell and do a great job for getting tough dishes scrubbed.
Great washcloth! Love the absorbency and softness. Great seller too. Prompt shipping and exactly as advertised.
Very nice! These are holding up well. Thanks!
These are perfect to use to scrub dishes, and then just toss in the wash machine! Love them!
These are so well made and good for the environment. No more wasting disposable clothes and sponges. I love that you can pick the stitching color. The orange really brightens my kitchen!
These are so cute and just the right size.
These are smaller than the usual dishcloth but I like that. Well made, good fabric. Will order some more later.
