Kitchen Cleaning Cloths keep your countertops, utensils and surfaces clean and free of germs. Unlike paper towels, they’re sustainable and can be washed repeatedly to extend their lifespan.
They also dry hands quickly, polish stainless steel and sanitize counters. Plus, they’re machine washable so you can use them daily.
Dish Cloths
Whether you use them to wipe down countertops, sinks or other surfaces, dish cloths are a great kitchen cleaning tool. However, if your dishcloths are not cleaned properly, they can become the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. They're wet, scrunched up in a ball and often warm, making them the ideal environment for germs to thrive.
To keep your dish rags clean and hygienic, it's important to launder them often. Be sure to wash them on a hot cycle, as this will help the detergent better dissolve and work to remove dirt and stains. Never use a gentle or delicates cycle as this can weaken the fabric and cause it to shrink and stretch.
Instead of using disposable paper towels or sponges, try switching to a Swedish dish cloth. This reusable and biodegradable kitchen towel is thick, absorbent, long-lasting and effective for all types of kitchen messes. It's also safe to throw in the washing machine, top rack of the dishwasher and even boil for a few minutes to sanitize.
Tea Towels
The ultimate do-it-all kitchen towel, tea towels have been around since the 18th century. Made from linen or cotton, these tight-woven cloths can be a bit thinner than terry cloth and leave no lint after use. They can also be embroidered for a decorative touch. In Victorian England, upper-class women used these towels to insulate tea pots during teatime, dry fine china and cover baked goods. They even served as canvasses for artistic endeavors such as embroidery, which became a popular pastime and allowed housewives to create beautiful heirlooms.
Today, a tea towel can be the perfect addition to any kitchen decor, as well as a wonderful gift for brides, newlyweds and homemakers. Line your bread basket with a tea towel and you can keep it fresh and smelling great, or give someone an artisan-crafted, personalized one to mark a new chapter in their life or a homestead. They’re also ideal to help you reduce your dependency on paper towels.
Disinfecting Cloths
Rather than reach for a paper towel to wipe a spill or clean a countertop, try one of these reusable cloths. They sanitize and dry in the dishwasher, are eco-friendly and may even save you money on the price of paper towels.
Microfiber kitchen cloths can sanitize surfaces and remove up to 99% of bacteria with just water, eliminating the need for additional cleaners in your food prep area. They can also be washed and dried repeatedly for longer lasting use.
For the most effective results, add a small amount of bleach to your washing cycle. If you'd prefer a more natural cleaning product, lemon and vinegar are excellent organic disinfectants. They're gentle on delicate fabrics, but should be soaked before using for best results. For the ultimate in hygienic dishcloths, look for options that have silver embedded into them, like Norwex. They sanitize with just water and are said to be anti-bacterial, hygienic and anti fungal, but at a much more affordable price point.
Washing Cloths
Cleaning cloths should be washed after every use, particularly if they are used to wipe food preparation surfaces. They should also be washed after contact with raw meat or fish to prevent spread of pathogens.
It's important to use a dish cloth or tea towel that is absorbent and durable. It's also a good idea to have multiple cleaning cloths so they can be washed more frequently and used in different tasks.
Cloths can be one of the top sources of cross contamination, but with proper usage and washing practices they can be a powerful tool to keep foods safe. When laundered, kitchen cloths and towels should be washed in their own load (not with jeans, tshirts or underwear). They should be washed on hot – this helps detergent to work effectively. Kitchen towels and cloths should not be used to dry dishes or hands as this can transfer bacteria. They should be washed after contact with raw meat and fish as they can harbour Salmonella and Campylobacter.
