Product Insights
The Monochromatic Jacquard Tea Towel from Simons Maison is a 100% reprocessed cotton towel with a jacquard weave that provides even water absorption across the entire surface and does not reduce absorbency. Initially, the towel sheds lint and lacks absorbency, but after 3–5 washes it becomes absorbent and lint-free. The woven pattern, made from dyed yarns, is durable and won't peel, crack, or snag, and the contrast endures with proper care. However, dark dyes may bleed initially, so cold washes with vinegar and shade drying are recommended to prevent fading. The towel shrinks 3–5% after the first wash. At a regular price of CAD 7.50 or sale price of CAD 4.99, it undercuts most recycled-cotton tea towels by over 50%.
Verified claims
- Break-in
- Absorbency improves and lint shedding decreases significantly after 3–5 washes.
- Jacquard weave
- The towel has a textured jacquard weave with hemmed edges; the weave provides even water absorption across the entire towel.
- Maintenance
- Dark dyes may bleed initially; cold wash, vinegar, and shade drying prevent fading.
- Wash care
- Machine washable and machine dryable: machine wash cold (30°C max) on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low heat; skip fabric softener.
- Weave performance
- Woven jacquard resists snagging and does not hinder absorbency; absorbency improves after a few washes.
- Durability
- Woven from dyed yarns, the pattern won't peel, crack, or fade like a print and resists snagging; the contrast endures with cool washes and shade drying.
- Material
- 100% reprocessed cotton avoids the impact of cotton cultivation and dyeing steps.
- Price comparison
- Sale-priced CAD 4.99, it undercuts most recycled-cotton tea towels by over 50%.
- Shrinkage
- May shrink 3–5% in the first machine wash and dry, as is typical for 100% cotton; washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat helps minimize it.
- Recycled content
- Made from 100% reprocessed cotton, so it diverts textile waste from landfill and avoids virgin cotton cultivation and dyeing.
- Drying dishes
- After a few washes, this towel performs well for everyday drying of dishes and glasses, and skipping fabric softener keeps it from just pushing water around.
- Recycled cotton source
- The recycled cotton is sourced from a mix of reclaimed clothing, fabric scraps, and other pre- and post-consumer waste; recycled cotton fibers are shorter than virgin cotton, which can make the fabric feel a touch less plush and marginally less strong, though the jacquard weave helps hold the structure together.

Everyday kitchen cleanup towel
Use this tea towel for everyday washing, wiping, and cleaning around the kitchen. It is easy-care and can go right in the washer and dryer. One reported customer found it holds up wash after wash without shrinking or fading, staying presentable for daily use.[1]
Hand-drying dishes after a meal
Use this tea towel to hand-dry dishes after washing up. Based on customer reviews, the thick jacquard fabric absorbs water effectively, glides easily across dishes, and leaves glassware streak-free, though a few customers report it doesn't soak up water as well.[1]
Wiping up large spills
Some shoppers reach for this tea towel when cleaning up large spills in the kitchen, based on reported customer experiences. However, some users report poor absorption, saying the towel smeared liquid rather than soaking it up. Original reviews are not available, so this feedback comes from a summary of customer reviews.[1]
A stylish accent for a modern kitchen
Customers report the monochromatic jacquard design works as both a useful kitchen towel and a decorative accent, adding a stylish touch to modern kitchen decor. The hanging loop on the trim is described by the retailer as practical for hanging the towel within view.[1]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Monochromatic Jacquard Tea Towel: Choose this if you want a substantial everyday tea towel for hand-drying dishes—its thick jacquard fabric absorbs water effectively for most users, leaving glassware streak-free—while also adding a stylish accent to kitchen decor, with a practical hanging loop, easy machine wash-and-dry care, and a reported resistance to shrinking and fading over frequent laundering. It is made of 100% recycled (listed as reprocessed) cotton, measures 19.75 by 27.5 inches (50 x 70 cm), and comes in seven colors including Black, Off White, Mossy Green, Indigo/Dark Blue, Burgundy, Sunflower Yellow, and Citrus/Bright Orange. Note that a minority of users report the towel can smear liquid rather than soak it up when cleaning large spills, though most find it absorbent for dish drying.[1] | Minimalist Checkers Tea Towel: Choose this if you want an everyday wash, wipe, and clean towel in a minimalist checkerboard design — it's 100% recycled cotton, measures 19.75 by 27.5 inches (50 by 70 cm), and has a hanging loop for easy storage, with the pattern reported to hold its color through repeated machine washing. Most reviewers find it absorbent enough for glasses, plates, and spills, though new towels may need several washes to break in. Avoid high-heat laundering, which can cause shrinkage and reduced absorbency, and note the black colorway is reported to absorb less well than other colors.[2] | Pure Linen Chambray Tea Towel: Choose this if you want a 100% linen tea towel in a generous size of 19.75 by 27.5 inches that is easy-care and can be machine washed and dried, with a practical hanging loop on the trim. It comes in four colors—Ivory/Cream Beige, Khaki/Sage/Olive, Baby Blue, and Raspberry/Cherry Red—and features a plain weave with visible slubs and irregular yarns that give it a slightly coarse, matte texture you may either love or find less smooth than cotton. The hemmed edges and a white woven loop with printed 'simons' branding round out the details.[3,4,5] |
