Don't cry over spilled milk, just grab a large hemp dish cloth to clean it up in no time flat! This is a set of two large washcloths sized just right for cleaning up spills or wiping down messy counters, about 8x8 inches. Throw out your paper towels and use these washable, long-lasting dishcloths instead. They are made from two layers of soft 55% 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. These would also make great wash cloths in the bath. They are soft and thick and could be used for any wash-cloth type purpose.
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."

Lovely quality handmade item. The Hemp/Bamboo version is especially soft, which is nice for a washcloth. The Hemp/Cotton version has good texture for use as a dishcloth. Love the range of sizes and ability to customize. I will likely be back for more!

I absolutely love these hemp/bamboo dish cloths.
Great addition to the kitchen. I love hemp based products. These cloths are a marriage of both hemp and bamboo.
The kitchen cloths will be a nice addition to my home. The hankies were for my husband, I’ll need to get a report from him later since they came right before his business trip. He was saying his other hankies took too much room in his pocket. These were smaller.
Liked this brand and ordered a bunch more.
Much better than what we've been able to buy from local stores or Amazon. Planning to order more.
Second time purchasing I really like them they work great for all cleaning needs.
Very strong and durable, great quality
These are Great!!! Thank You So Much!!!
The only thing I don't like about these is the color - using them as dishcloths, they do show all the stains. But I love the quality, durability, and the fact that they don't smell with use!
nice thick double-layer of fabric, excellent size for kitchen cleanup!
Joy, this is my second purchase from you. I love your hemp dishcloths! I also appreciate them coming in a paper envelope. Thank you!
Very soft, as described. Really like how easily they clean...wiped up a mess and practically brushed off the dirt on the wet washcloth.
I've purchased several items from this shop. The dishrags are of the highest quality. The shipping was quick. The customer service was great.
I plan to buy more from this shop in the future.
These are fantastic dish cloths. Strong, soft, and absorbent.
Fast drying and no smells. Have purchased before and loved these
These are AMAZING!
So absorbent from the very first use. It is hard to explain just how good they clean dishes and counters. I highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed!
Great cloths at a reasonable price with fast shipping!
Great item. Shipping took awhile (thanks a lot, COVID-19) but the seller was communicative and helpful. We use these daily for wiping up kitchen messes and kiddoes' sticky fingers.
I love these cloths. They are absorbant and thick. I just got them and have been using them all day. Wiping off counters, wiping sinks, picking up spills, etc. They are amazing!!
Well made, perfect for their purpose, easy to care for. Thanks for making such great products!
These have been working great! Nice and sturdy. Could you make the cloth different colors, ever (by dyeing)? The natural color is tough to keep looking nice.
These dishcloths are quite nice and thick but I would only use them for cleaning and I think they'd only be suitable for cleaning.
I love these washcloths and the seller (joy in the home) is as attentive as can be,
I love these wash cloths.
These work so well as cleaning cloths in the kitchen! So glad for a long term sustainable alternative to sponges!!
My favorite towels for all of the things!! Highly recommend!
I absolutely love these! The stitching is adorable and the fabric amazing. I am really glad I read the other reviews, because I did order the 8x8 and they are perfect. They sound like they would be too large but they are not. I keep thinking, should I keep all 8 that I purchased for myself, (one for each day of the week)or share couple of them with friends...I think I will keep them! In love!!!
