Not all hands are the same...
Whether you have small hands, older hands, 'man' hands, kids hands... or for those like me with only one hand...
Over the years, your feedback has shaped our product range and we now manufacture different cloth options to suit hands of all ages, sizes and strengths.
While our original heavy-duty dishcloths remain our biggest seller, recent additions are fast becoming popular in their own right.
Not sure where to start?
We’ve got you covered. At Ecovask, we make 3 dishcloths for everyday kitchen life, plus 3 specialty cloths for those little extras. Here’s how to find the one that fits your needs:
Our Dishcloths

Heavy duty cloths
Our original heavy-duty cloth is the power house of our dishcloths and loved by those wanting maximum absorbency and good a wringing-out action. Also great for using as a polishing off cloth when dry.

'Lite' dish cloths
Designed with arthritic and strength-impaired hands in mind. 20% lighter than our heavy-duty cloths, they hold less water, dry faster, and are easier to wring out.

The Heritage Cloth
Our newest innovation combining the durability of the heavy-duty cloth with the lighter weight and faster drying benefits of the Lite. The best of both worlds.
Our Specialty Cloths

Barista Cloths
Because no-one loves coffee grinds in their dishcloths! Their industrial look and ribbed texture that makes wiping hot milk wands and cleaning up coffee grinds a breeze.

The Multi Cloth
Small but mighty. Originally designed as reusable kids’ washcloths, they’ve become the perfect companion cloth in the kitchen too. Lightweight, super absorbent, and perfect for quick clean-ups.

Face cloths
Gentle on all skin types and ages. With two sides - one extra soft, the other lightly textured. Perfect for daily cleansing or a touch of exfoliation. Naturally hypoallergenic and kind to sensitive skin.
Great uses for our dishcloths
Wiping up spills
There’s nothing more annoying than going to mop up a spill just to find your cloth isn’t actually mopping it up. It’s just moving it around the surface!
Ecovask dishcloths are very (very) absorbent and soak up spills easily. Remember though, they’re not a sponge so you’ll have to squeeze them out more often.
Obviously cloths absorb more when they're dry, so it's a good idea to have a spare cloth or two in the drawer ready for use.
Washing dishes
Just use your knitted dishcloth as you would any other dishcloth. Their textured surface makes them ideal for wiping plates clean or greasy pans. (Just make sure you rinse then in hot soapy water after use and hang to dry in the sink or laundry).
Or stand by while you watch someone else do the dishes for you! (dream)
Cleaning appliances & bench tops
Whether you have Stone bench tops or stainless-steel surfaces we have you covered! A soaking wet cloth will always leave some residue so we recommend keeping a dry cloth aside that you can use for this purpose. Spray the surface with your favourite cleaner (although not bleach!) and wipe surface clean for the perfect finish.
Mopping up mucky eaters!
Got toddlers or young children who still wear more of their food than eat it? Our cloths are fantastic at mopping up the faces, hands and table-tops of enthusiastic eaters!

How to take care of your knitted dishcloth
Avoiding smelly dishcloths
After you’ve used your cloth, rinse in clean water, ring them out and hang it to dry in your sink.
Ideally you don't want to stash wet dish cloths under the sink as they need air flow to dry in between use.
NB: If you don't like hanging your dishcloth over the tap then check out the super-stylish HAPPY SiNKS dishcloth holders. They're a marriage saver!
How often should I wash my cloths?
Ideally you should change your cloths out each day for ultimate hygiene. Hang your used cloths to dry in the laundry or soak them into a bucket with water and 1/4 cup white vinegar until wash day.
We recommend washing your Ecovask cloths as you would your kitchen towels in 30-40 degrees C.
NB: We don't recommend washing your dishcloths in the dishwasher as they end up holding the dirty dishwater.
Can I put them in the dryer?
Yes, they will survive the tumble drier perfectly!
Using a tumble dryer to dry your dishcloths and towels is the best way to keep their shape and feeling soft.
(Tip: just running your towels through the dryer for ten minutes will help create a softer feel than straight line drying).
If you’re drying your cloths on a line, we recommend hanging them by folding over in the middle rather than pegging the corners. Alternatively dry them inside over a heated towel rail.
