Let’s talk about crochet cotton washcloths.
Cotton washcloths are one of my most popular items! For your face, your body, even your countertops.
- Once you’ve used them, you won’t want to go back to your standard store bought variety of washers or kitchen cloths.
- They have great texture that feels so nice on your skin and you just know they are cleaning you really well.
- Especially nice on the face, giving that fresh, clean feel.
- They are amazing on counter tops!! With just warm water, they get rid of greasy residue really well. Even on the stove, fat is easy to clean up without any extra cleaning liquids…
I will never go back to anything other than cotton for the kitchen ✨.
What I have
- I make and sell a variety of cotton cloths that are for the most part useable for either face, body or your countertops ( preferably one or the other is best 😊 )
- The prettier they are the more likely you will prefer to use them in the bathroom or gift them.
- You will find a number of variations in my store. Alternatively you can click on the pictures which will take you to the listing.
- The cloths are different yarns but are all 100% cotton so in general can be laundered in the same way… warm or cold machine wash.
- I like to tumble dry even though there may be a little shrinkage.
- The cloths made out of the softer cottons will stretch out more when wet, and have been recommended as face cloths rather than kitchen.
