Wipe, Wash, Repeat: handmade kitchen cloths

These kitchen cloths are handmade from cotton in beautiful Worcestershire, by a small family business. Ideal to replace disposable kitchen rolls, just use them to mop up spills or cleaning, then launder and use again!

Expect slight shrinkage on first wash.

The waffle design is wonderfully absorbent, these are also good for washing-up, dusting furniture or even cleaning mucky faces! And the double-ply thickness means they are better than thin cloths.

If used, choose zero waste cleaning brands (unscented for pregnancy/breastfeeding/babies and near pets (citrus oils are toxic even if rinse/dried on floors or counters).

Choose from small or large cloths, in sets of 5 or 10 (in several colours). At end of use, the natural fibres just return back to the earth.

Sent in plastic-free packaging.

Perfect for everyday spills

Spills are an unavoidable part of life in a busy kitchen. A glass of water gets knocked over, a saucepan splashes or a little sauce ends up somewhere it should not be.

These reusable kitchen cloths are ideal for dealing with those everyday moments. Keep one somewhere convenient so you can quickly grab it whenever a spill occurs.

After wiping up the mess, there is no need to put the cloth straight in the bin. Instead, place it in your laundry and use it again once it has been washed.

This makes the cloth particularly useful for households looking for practical ways to reduce their consumption of disposable cleaning products without making everyday life more complicated.

A simple sustainable kitchen swap

Making your home more sustainable does not always require major changes. Often, the easiest approach is to look at the small disposable products you use regularly and consider whether a reusable alternative would work instead.

Kitchen roll is one example. If you regularly use it for small spills and everyday cleaning, switching some of those uses to washable cotton cloths can be an easy first step.

These handmade cloths are designed to make that change straightforward. Keep them somewhere accessible and reach for one whenever you would normally use a sheet of kitchen roll. After use, wash it and put it back into your cleaning routine.

It is a simple habit that can become second nature surprisingly quickly.

Where to recycle old cleaning cloths

You don’t have to throw them out. You can just deposit them (even frayed or stained) in textile banks (materials are shredded to make insulation and other industrial goods).
