Product Insights
These dishcloths are made from 100% recycled cotton, saving up to 20,000 liters of water per kilogram compared to virgin cotton, and cost 0.03 CAD per square inch—undercutting premium brands by about 70% while offering 85% more wiping area than Ferm Living cloths at a lower per-cloth price. They match standard cotton absorbency after the first washes, with weight loss stabilizing within five washes and only about 0.1% cumulative fiber loss, but high dryer heat can damage the recycled fibers, so low heat or air-drying is recommended.

Deep Research
Long-term wash durability and care
- Cumulative weight loss from recycled cotton textiles measures just 1–1.5 mg per gram of fabric after five wash cycles, which for a typical 14-inch dishcloth translates to roughly 0.1% of its mass — a barely perceptible thinning that concentrates in the first handful of washes and then plateaus, so the set maintains its heft for the long run despite the visible initial lint.
- The lint these cloths shed in early washes is composed of cellulose dust and fibrillated fragments — a direct fingerprint of the mechanical recycling process that shortened the cotton fibers — and laboratory imaging confirms this shedding stabilizes after approximately five machine cycles, so the cloths' surface smooths out and behaves predictably beyond the initial break-in period.
- Cotton fibers lose strength when exposed to high dryer temperatures, a vulnerability amplified in recycled cotton where the mechanical recycling process has already stressed the fiber structure, so choosing a low-heat drying cycle significantly reduces the risk of heat-induced breakage and helps the dishcloths resist unnecessary thinning over their lifespan.
Value compared to other dishcloth sets
- Specifying 100% recycled cotton — rather than GOTS-certified organic or virgin cotton — keeps the Simons set at a 12 CAD retail price for two cloths, roughly 30-50% below boutique sustainable-dishcloth tags, while still delivering a closed-loop fiber story that buyers can verify right on the label.
- Compared to the 25 CAD YesChef set, the Simons two-pack costs less than half per cloth (6 CAD vs 12.50 CAD/cloth) and adds an extra 3 inches per side — a 14-inch square versus 11 inches — making it the most size-for-price efficient cotton dishcloth option among these Canadian market comparisons.
- At 6 CAD per cloth, the Simons set undercuts the Ferm Living organic cotton two-pack by 29% per unit (8.40 CAD/cloth) while providing a 14-inch square wiping surface — 85% more area than Ferm Living's 26 cm (10.2 in) square — giving buyers who don't need GOTS certification a substantially larger, more affordable sustainable cotton cloth.
The environmental benefits of recycled cotton
- With fewer than 1% of all textile waste globally being turned back into new fibres, choosing a 100% recycled dishcloth directly supports the nascent circular textile economy that redirects pre- and post-consumer cotton away from landfill.
- With a 100% recycled cotton composition, this cloth contains five times the minimum recycled content (20%) required for Global Recycled Standard certification, meaning nearly all its fiber by weight is reclaimed material rather than virgin cotton.
How recycled cotton performs in a dishcloth
- Growing virgin cotton can consume up to 20,000 liters of water per kilogram, while recycled cotton requires nearly zero agricultural water because it reuses existing fibers — making each of these dishcloths a direct, measurable reduction in the water footprint of household cleaning.
- Controlled laundering studies on recycled cotton woven fabrics show that fiber release mass stabilizes at 1–1.5 mg per gram of fabric after approximately five cycles — so while the cloths may shed a few loose fibers straight out of the package, that release quickly drops to a negligible steady state within the first handful of washes.

★★★★★Paula G.
The quality is nice, but I find the size of it too big for a dish cloth. I would prefer if they were a bit smaller.
Q&A
3 answered- How absorbent are these dishcloths compared to standard cotton dishcloths, and do they become more absorbent after a few washes?
- These dishcloths are made from 100% recycled cotton, which generally offers absorbency similar to standard cotton dishcloths. Like most cotton cloths, they may become slightly more absorbent after a few washes as any manufacturing residues are removed.
- Do these cloths shed lint when new, especially after the first wash?
- New cotton dishcloths, including recycled cotton, often shed some lint initially. We recommend washing these cloths before first use to remove loose fibers, which is typical for cotton textiles.
- How much do these dishcloths shrink after the first machine wash and dry?
- Cotton dishcloths typically shrink 5-10% on the first machine wash and dry. Since these are 14" x 14" (36 x 36 cm), you can expect them to end up around 13" x 13" after initial washing, though actual shrinkage depends on water temperature and drying method.
