Product Insights

Simons Maison's Minimalist Checkers Tea Towel is an exclusive, yarn-dyed flat-weave design made in Canada that becomes a lint-free glassware polisher after 2–3 low-heat washes, though it shrinks up to 5% (2.5–3.5 cm per dimension) and remains too small for large plates. Its checker pattern stays colorfast and sharp through repeated washing, offering a durable, affordable kitchen upgrade—but requires break-in to achieve full absorbency and lint-free performance.

Verified claims

Break-in
Needs a few wash cycles before it dries at its best; buyers note absorbency improves after washing.
Lint-free drying
Flat-weave construction is lint-free, ideal for polishing glassware.
Size after washing
Towel shrinks up to 5% after first wash; original dimensions 19.75 × 27.5.
Shrinkage
Cotton tea towels of this style may shrink up to about 5% in the first few washes, roughly 2.5–3.5 cm per dimension for this size; one buyer reports noticeable shrinkage after the first wash.
Colorfastness
Buyers report the yarn-dyed checker pattern holds color through machine washing.
Color coordination
Three curated colorways enable mixing, and matching kitchen linens are sold separately.
Exclusivity
Exclusive to Simons Maison and designed in Canada; the pattern is a proprietary design not available from other retailers.
Value
At 4.99 CAD, buyers say the pattern is an affordable designer kitchen upgrade.
Pattern longevity
Yarn-dyed, flat-weave pattern won't fade or peel, and stays sharp.
Matching pieces
Matching pieces in the Minimalist Checkers collection share the same yarn-dyed pattern and recycled cotton material.
Use case
The flat-weave towel is lint-free for glassware, and some buyers find it a bit small.
Absorbency
Absorbency varies by color and improves with multiple washes.
Fabric consistency
Color stays vibrant and towel remains lint-free after many washes.
Performance
Needs break-in washes; then becomes absorbent and lint-free for glassware.
Glassware drying
Flat-weave cotton polishes wine glasses streak- and lint-free.
Durability
Buyers describe the towel as sturdy for a hardworking kitchen and say it holds up to repeated washing.
Drying efficiency
The flat-weave cotton construction is designed for efficient drying, not just decoration; it is moderately absorbent and excels at drying dishes and glassware once factory finishes wash out after a few washes.
Recycled material
The Minimalist Checkers collection uses recycled cotton across the tea towel and matching kitchen linens.

Franchement, c'est difficile de trouver des essuies vaisselle qui essuient et qui sont réutilisables plusieurs fois de suite. Je recommande vivement ceux-ci ! De plus, très belle qualité, très beaux. Je les laisse également sécher à l'air libre pour leur durabilité. Au top!

Looks nice, but…

Nicole H.

I bought two of these (black and blue) and they look nice but after one wash, they shrunk quite a bit and they don’t dry very well. They recommend a lower temperature wash and dry, which is not my preference. Maybe they’ll dry better after a few more washes. We’ll see.

I have bought these before, so must have liked them as I inadvertently bought them again. We are moving and bought all new linens for our new house and chose these for the kitchen. The others were very functional and absorbent.
