The Ultimate Tea Towel - Sea Foam Chequer
- Description
We might be biased.. but we are a bit obsessed with these stunning towels.
Made in India using the highest quality, sustainably sourced organic cotton, they are finely knitted, and not only feel great and look fabulous.
While many of our customers buy them to use as a stunning hand towel, we personally love them as for drying dishes and have become our go-to tea towel :D
Hot Tip: Before using for the first time, soak for a few hours or overnight in cold water with 1/4 cup white vinegar and wash in machine as normal. This will increase absorbency factor significantly!
A generous 60cm x 40cm in size.
Machine wash and dryer friendly.

Care Guide
Before first use:
Soak in cold water with ¼ cup white vinegar for several hours or overnight, then wash as normal. This helps relax the cotton fibres and unlock maximum absorbency.
Everyday care:
- Machine wash up to 60°C with similar colours
- Avoid fabric softeners or bleach. These can coat the fibres and reduce absorbency - the opposite of what you want in a towel!
- Line dry or tumble dry. Tumble drying helps keep towels soft and in shape. If line drying, fold the towel over the line midway - don’t peg it by one corner.
- If line drying, fold midway over the line to maintain shape

These organic cotton cloths are excellent, they are the perfect size & are perfect to wring out & dry beautifully… I am in Australia & I am so glad that I have found Ecovask as we do not have anything here that comes close to this quality ‘lite’ cloth. The daisy colours are so beautiful!
I love these dish cloths so I bought some for my daughter. The cloth rinses out well and wrings out easily meaning it’s quick drying. Attractive colours too
These are the perfect dishcloths for my new kitchen.
Gorgeous colours, beautifully made and right- sized cotton cloths at the optimum (lite-style) thickness.
So happy to have found a sustainable (and beautiful to use) alternative.
Fantastic quality and a wonderful range of colours, great to have a good pop of bright colour – love the lite dishcloths as facecloths :-)
Love these cloths, so bright and cheery, makes cleaning up a breeze! Excellent quality, these cloths withstand a hot wash and tumble dry, with no loss of absorbancy or integrity. My go to dishcloth from now on.
I love these tea-towels (I bought 5)! They are soft, very absorbent, and look good in the kitchen…
Love them but unfortunately 2 holes in couple of weeks. I rotate them That means not long use
Hi Ida. That is not what we would expect at all! While the Lite cloths are not as robust as the heavy duty cloths and do require a little more care than synthetic cloths, we certainly don't expect them to fail like this. I will message you with replacement.
Love this cloth. Perfect for arthritic hands and does an awesome job. Highly recommend this company and their products!
Excellent for arthritic hands. Still the same beautiful quality as the heavier ones.
Easy to wash and use.
These cloths are brilliant. Easy to wring out, very attractive and after washing they keep their shape. A small investment for a quality product.
I found ecovask after googling OLD FASHIONED DISH CLOTHS. I was so excited to find something that resembles the dish cloths of my childhood.
Supermarkets abound with micro fibre cloths (which I refuse to use) & assorted other things which become smelly quickly & are then disposed of.
Which becomes costly.
I wanted something natural TICK,
washable TICK & longlasting TICK!!
I'm so happy with my lite cloths for the kitchen & the multi cloth for the bathroom. Amazing products!
Fantastic product that wipes benches sparkling clean. Easy to care for by adding to washing machine.
These are working a treat! I've even used one as a quick drying face cloth.
Thank you for replacing my cloth (so promptly) with another. And, what a lovely bonus in my package........another cloth! Very kind of you.
Excellent products. Your business deserves to thrive. Thank you.
Had to have a green one for the collection - excellent product.
Love these! Beats using all those disposable cloths on a roll. Way more environmentally friendly way to do it.
Quick dries, never smells, leaves bench clean and tidy - ultra absorbent.
Stunning to look at and beautiful to use, the lite dishcloths have transformed my kitchen and make washing dishes a delight. The cloths are just the right size for washing up and easy to use, and the feel of the cotton is superb in your hands. Such a joyous tactile experience. The lite cloths also wash well and are quick to dry. What more could you want in a dish cloth? The colour choices are exceptional on the website and you would find something to totally transform your kitchen space. Highly recommend.
These cloths are a pretty, sustainable way to keep the kitchen clean
Really like these cloths - got sick of using the thin ones that come on a roll from the supermarket (won’t mention the name but you’ll know the brand I mean), so much waste. I have a stack of these under the sink and just change them on the regular and chuck them in the wash. Fab.
I find this one a good size for our use. Other similar ones (other brands) I have found too heavy or large, so they hold too much water. This one is good.
I did not receive these lite cloths even though I ordered them. I got two of the heavy ones instead. Still waiting for this to be rectified
Hi Lyn. I am really sorry you were sent the wrong product and you are still waiting for this to be resolved. It is definitely not typical of our service levels. Your replacement product is definitely on it's way.
Wash well and do the job ,
Much better than heavy ones I bought previously which were very difficult to wring out and wipe bench etc.
With these ones can wipe bench tops
Have bought the regular dishcloths previously, but decided to try the lite version - these are as good as the regular cloths, and can see how they would be perfect for arthritic hands.
After trying a couple of different wooden/wire dish brush handles I found that after a bit they would fall apart and not hold the brush head any longer. The Ecovask brushes use a great design for holding the replaceable brush heads and so far I have found it to be brilliant and easy to use. I would definitely recomend buying this product!
I am a blue fanatic.. but this green is sooo happy -- I could not resist. Cloth is soft and great for wiping down.
This is a fabulous cloth. Once you wet it a few times it starts to work. Soaks up well leaves no streaks, rinses out all grime and amazingly doesn’t get smelly. It keeps shape after washing. Will definitely buy more of these.
Thanks Nikki! We definitely recommend prewashing before first use to optimise absorbency straight away. NB you can do this in a sink with warm soapy water.
I have knitted dish cloths, been gifted them and bought numerous over the years , but I will never go back now I have tried your lite weight dish cloths..
Beautiful colours and great to use will most definitely purchasing more..
Thanks
I love the slightly thinner weight of this cleaning cloth. And the colour is fab! Great on my stainless steel benches.
