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 flat-weave cotton cloths: 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 stays intact and vibrant after repeated washing.
- Performance
- Woven check hides stains, dries fast, scours gently.
- Initial stiffness
- Initially stiff, 'glacé' finish softens after washing; pattern unaffected.
- Quick drying
- Flat-weave construction dries rapidly between uses.
- Unit cost
- $7.50 per set = $3.75/cloth, 25–40% below typical singles.
- Initial feel
- Stiff upon arrival but becomes soft and supple after a few washes.
- Absorbency
- They soak up spills better than microfiber or paper towels.
- Quick-dry
- They air-dry quickly, preventing mustiness and enabling frequent reuse.
- Size

- 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 ends after washes; more absorbent than microfiber.
- Pattern integrity

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.
Cute towels
Good quality and add a pop of colour in the kitchen

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.
J'adore
Belle qualité, pas trop épais donc sèche rapidement. . . . .
Efficace
Chiffons efficaces, essuient bien, bon tissu résistant.
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.
C'est les meilleurs.
