Here at the cleaning cabinet we have a variety of different cloths that can be used for different purposes from cleaning to exfoliating your skin – the range is wide. Cloths come in different materials in order to maximise their abilities on their targeted surfaces.
This blog post is to introduce you to the beautiful different cloths we have and their amazing uses!
Firstly we have the Compostable sponge cloths by Eco Living

They stand out with their stiff and bright exterior however, don’t be fooled because these handy tools target the toughest messes on your surfaces around the house. They do not emit any micro-plastic pollution unlike normal Classic sponge cloths. They’re highly effective and super absorbent! They are also very durable and of course reusable! To make the best use of these cloths you need to slightly wet it and then drain any excess liquids by squeezing it, you can then use it for cleaning kitchens, bathrooms and anywhere else around the house. It is best to rinse the cloth thoroughly after use.

Unpaper Towels
Unpaper towels are the latest trend for your kitchen! Reusable and washable they’re the best sustainable alternative to your kitchen rolls! A must have zero-waste item to add to your kitchen. The brand natural wraps use off cuts of pure and organic cotton towels to make these fabulous multi-colored Unpaper towels. The cotton is sourced from manufacturers who seek spare fabrics which would have been “waste” in the long run so really it’s a good save! With some bright and beautiful colours and patterns I don’t see where you can go wrong with having these for your kitchen! Think sustainability, think #REUSE. This pack comes with 6 different and stylish towels that are approximately 25cm x 25cm. A good fit for all types of kitchen works.
Use these towels the same way you would use a kitchen roll…wipe surfaces, scrub grubby stains , cover dishes …so versatile really.
Unpaper towels are washer and dryer safe however it is advised not to use a fabric conditioner as it may affect the absorbency of the towels.
