Dishcloth Summer flowers, which we have printed with environmentally friendly colors and completely without water. The material of the high-quality, machine-washable tea towel is Norwegian FSC-certified cellulose fiber, which is also further processed in the Nordic countries. The proportion of cellulose in the product is 70% and it is supplemented by cotton fiber, which is no longer suitable for textile production, but would end up burdening the earth as waste. It can be put to good use in the process of making kitchen towels. The production of the material as 100% natural fibers was already patented in the 1950s and it is manufactured by only two factories in Europe. Sea salt is used as an auxiliary ingredient in the preparation, which is used over and over again.
A natural fiber kitchen towel, a dishcloth at home, is a product with a long life cycle: It can withstand use, it can be washed, boiled, rinsed and used again and again. Finally, the product can be disposed of as bio-waste. The best and most environmentally friendly way to wash and freshen a cloth: Place the kitchen cloth wide in the sink. Sprinkle soda on top, add a small amount of clear food vinegar and let it bubble. When the foaming stops, rinse with cool water and hang to dry. The scent is fresh to wear again.
The best tip for disposal is to wrap a damp kitchen towel or dishcloth around a fresh, soil-grown herb or rhizome in a flower pot and replant the herb or flower in a breathable pot. In this way, the cloth maintains even moisture and helps the growth process when it is planted. The material will completely settle in 24 weeks. The dishcloth therefore turns into a new growth energy. Cloths that are no longer in use can also be dug into a flower bed in the garden. When disposing of an end-of-use product in a bio-waste container, it should be chopped into a few smaller pieces to speed up disposal. Read more about environmentally friendly cleaning on our blog.
