Wash before first use. (A quick rinse in warm, soapy water in the sink is often all that’s needed.)
Machine wash regularly - up to 60 °C.
Do NOT wash in the dishwasher - it’s too harsh for natural fibres. Read why →
Avoid fabric softeners or bleach. These can coat the fibres and reduce absorbency - the opposite of what you want in a dishcloth.
Line dry or tumble dry. Tumble drying helps keep cloths soft and in shape. If line drying, fold the cloth over the line midway - don’t peg it by one corner as this can stretch it out of shape.
Between uses: Rinse thoroughly and hang to dry - over your tap works well or if you're not a fan of this, the Happy Sinks Magnetic Dishcloth Holder or Wunderbar products are great options to keep things tidy and airy. Never stash wet cloths in a cupboard, or a drawer.
If cloths ever start to smell: Soak in warm water with a splash of vinegar for an hour or two, then wash as usual.
End of life: 100 % home compostable - cut into smaller pieces to help them break down faster.
