The Wild & Stone dish cloth is a 100% organic cotton textile featuring a honeycomb weave. This architecture is designed to maximize the surface area for scrubbing without the use of synthetic plastics. Because it is a mono-material cloth, it is fully compostable at the end of its life, provided it is cut into smaller pieces before being added to a home compost bin.
The honeycomb structure provides mechanical reinforcement that helps the cloth hold its shape better than standard flat-weave cotton towels. It is capable of holding approximately 3.5 times its weight in water. As a natural fiber, users should expect an initial shrinkage of about 10% to 15% after the first wash at 60°C. Air-drying is recommended to maintain the texture needed for cleaning dried-on food particles.
The "Beach Sand" color is achieved without toxic finishers, though the light pigment may be susceptible to staining from high-color foods like turmeric or coffee. It provides a soft but effective cleaning surface that is safe for all types of cookware, including delicate non-stick pans. Unlike synthetic sponges, this cloth does not shed microplastics during the laundry process.
For those who need higher absorption for large liquid spills, the Swedish Wholesale cellulose cloths may be a more efficient choice for pure liquid management.
