Product Insights
These Simons Maison checkered dishcloths, priced at $7.50 for a set of two, offer a value-oriented entry into the French torchon tradition: flat-weave cotton that dries quickly, absorbs spills better than microfiber or paper towels, and uses a woven check pattern that resists stains, fading, and washing wear. The compact 14x14 inch size suits hand duties rather than tea towels, and buyers appreciate the bright checkered patterns that make chores more enjoyable. The main tradeoff is initial stiffness and lint, both of which diminish after a few washes, leaving soft, durable cloths that keep their colors and pattern integrity. At $3.75 per cloth, they cost less than typical organic cloths while carrying design exclusivity.
Verified claims
- Torchon lineage
- French-torchon-style woven cotton dishcloths: quick-drying, absorbent, reusable, and sized 14 x 14 for hand duties.
- Woven check
- Woven check pattern is structural (dyed yarns), not printed—resists stains, fading, and washing wear.
- Value
- At $3.75 per cloth ($7.50/set), these Simons Maison exclusives cost less than typical organic cloths and carry design exclusivity at no extra cost.
- Break-in
- Buyers note initial stiffness and lint, both of which diminish after a few washes.
- Durability
- Woven pattern holds up well and retains color through repeated washing, though some fading is normal over time.
- Performance
- Woven check hides stains, dries fast, scours gently.
- Initial stiffness
- Initially stiff, 'glacé' finish softens after washing; pattern unaffected.
- Quick drying
- Waffle-weave cotton construction dries quickly between uses, making frequent reuse practical.
- Unit cost
- $7.50 per set = $3.75/cloth, 25–40% below typical singles.
- Absorbency
- They soak up spills more effectively than microfiber cloths, which tend to wipe moisture rather than absorb it.
- Size
- At 14×14 inches, these are compact hand-cloths, not tea towels.
- Color retention
- Buyers report dishcloths keep their colors after frequent washes.
- Stain hiding
- Two-tone check pattern hides stains, keeping cloths presentable after heavy use.
- Lint shedding
- Pre-wash new cloths to avoid lint on glassware; linting decreases after a few washes, and they are more absorbent than microfiber.
- Pattern integrity
- Woven pattern stays intact after shrinkage because color is in the yarns.
- Reusable swap
- Buyers use these as a machine-washable replacement for disposable wipes.
- Aesthetics
- Buyers say the bright checkered patterns make kitchen chores more enjoyable.
- Mood lift
- Buyers say the cloths add fun to doing the dishes.
- Cultural heritage
- Design descends from French torchon kitchen cloth tradition.
- Shrinkage care
- Expect slight shrinkage after the first machine wash and dry; wash cold and dry low to minimize it.

Pretty and absorbing
They absorb fairly well for a cotton weave, and they won't get dingy quickly.

Very small
The pictures are misleading. These are very very small.
dishcloths, not tea towels
this was my error but these cloths came smaller than expected - to me the image looked like full tea towels but they are definitely dishcloths. but, they are very absorbant and the pattern is lovely and not too bright.
Très pratiques et belles couleurs
Très pratiques et belles couleurs !
Un bon achat finalement…
Ne pas se fier à la 1ère impression! Voilà ce que je dis… Au début, ils ont un fini plutôt “glacé”… Ce qui n’inspire pas beaucoup confiance… Au fil du temps, cela s’atténue. Et un bon avantage, ils sont foncés et ils conservent leurs couleurs.
Bon produit
Ça fait des années que je les utilise.
Fun colour & big!
Love these dish cloths - adds some fun to doing the dishes and I like the quality of the fabric too.

fab new colours
A decades-long love affair with Simons' Indian cotton dishcloths continues, with this bold new colour scheme. These long-lasting and serviceable kitchen favourites add a bright and cheery note to everything from food prep to cleanup. A healthier alternative to "disposable" wipes, and cloths of non-bio fibres.
