Product Insights
The Minimalist Checkerboard Dishcloths Set Of 2 from Simons Maison offers immediate moisture wicking from first use without scratching delicate dishware, but the pattern fades to a softened vintage look with cold water washes and requires careful laundering—separately in a mesh bag, cold water, no fabric softener, low dry—to prevent color bleeding, reduce lint after 3–5 washes, and triple usable life despite shorter fibers that inherently hold less water than microfiber.
Verified claims
- Absorbency
- Reprocessed cotton dishcloths wick moisture immediately from first use and are effective for everyday wiping despite holding less water than microfiber.
- Color aging
- The checkerboard pattern fades into a softened vintage look when washed in cold water.
- Bleeding prevention
- Washing separately in cold water prevents color bleeding in the first few washes.
- Care
- Wash in cold water and tumble dry low or air dry to minimize shrinkage and reduce color bleeding; avoid fabric softener to maintain absorbency and reduce lint.
- Lifespan extension
- Washing in a mesh laundry bag on a delicate cycle and skipping the high-speed spin can triple the cloths' usable life compared to standard laundry handling, because the shorter recycled fibers are more vulnerable to agitation.
- Break-in
- After 3-5 washes, cloths shed less lint and become softer.
- Gentleness
- Soft and gentle enough for delicate dishware; after a few washes it should not leave significant lint on glassware.
- Absorbency
- These recycled cotton dishcloths absorb similarly to traditional cotton and wick moisture immediately out of the package, though they hold less liquid than microfiber.
- Shrinkage
- Expect some shrinkage after the first wash, especially if washed hot; one buyer reports the cloths can shrink noticeably, and cold water with low or air drying minimizes it.

Facile d’entretien
C’est le 2e kit que j’achète. La couleur noire est parfaite car les taches ne paraissent pas. Par ailleurs, les linges de vaisselle de la même collection sont moins absorbants (essuient donc moins bien que anticipé).
Very practical
Not too heavy so easy to squeeze to remove excess water after cleaning a dish or countertop. Green colour is good as it doesn’t show small stains. Useful purchase.
Dishcloths
Love these dishcloths and have been buying them for years for myself and family.
Amazing quality!
Will definitely order more! Thick, heavy duty and a great color!

Black/White Dishcloths
These take many washes before the black dye stops bleeding out in the laundry. It will stain light colours if one mistakenly gets in the wash with light colours - which happened to me. Otherwise - good dishcloths.

Minimalist checkerboard dishcloths.
I bought these because of the Sale price. I expected some shrinkage, which did happen, but they are also NOT absorbent. I will not be buying dishcloths from Simons again.
Mes préférés!
Mes chiffons préférés depuis longtemps; dimension idéale. Ils restent beaux très longtemps.
Great kitchen sraple
Good size, nice material and very absorbent.
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 colour is lovely.

Make the Ordinary Beautiful
Dishcloths ate a necessity in the kitchen, of course, but why not make them beautiful. These look beautiful on the sink, yet also offer incredible practicality.
