Product Insights
The Monochrome Dishcloths Set Of 2 by Simons Maison uses a waffle weave that lifts stuck-on food from non-stick and glassware without scratching, and dries quickly to support a two-cloth rotation system. Made from 100% organic cotton with 91% water savings, the dark colorways resist showing stains and blend with dark decor. At $5 CAD for two, the set competes with premium single towels while adding quick-drying weave, but new cloths need a pre-wash to absorb up to 3-4x their weight, and buyers report possible shrinkage beyond the brand's <5% claim as well as inconsistent absorbency between the two cloths.

Deep Research
Care tips for long-term use
- The very first wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent strips away residual manufacturing oils and sizing that flatweave cotton retains, immediately opening the fiber structure for peak absorbency so the cloth works at full performance from day one rather than needing a break-in period.
- Because the cloth is 100% organic cotton, it is completely biodegradable and home compostable at the end of its useful life, breaking down naturally without releasing microplastics—unlike synthetic dishcloths, this one leaves zero waste, and discarding it in the compost bin returns nutrients to the earth rather than filling a landfill.
- Wringing the dishcloth out thoroughly after each use and hanging it to dry fully between tasks prevents the warm, damp environment where mildew and odor-causing bacteria thrive—this simple habit not only keeps the cloth smelling fresh but also protects the cotton fibers from the microbial rot that causes thinning and holes over time.
- Fabric softeners deposit a waxy film on organic cotton fibers that steadily reduces absorbency after repeated washes—skipping fabric softener altogether lets the dishcloth maintain its natural water-wicking capability for its entire usable life, which is the difference between a cloth that still soaks up spills after months versus one that just pushes water around.
- Although these dishcloths are labeled machine-wash-and-dry, choosing to air dry them flat or on a rack instead of using the dryer preserves the cotton fibers from heat damage and prevents cumulative shrinkage—a cloth that could begin to feel thin and distorted after six months of regular machine drying will keep its shape and density much longer with line drying.
Waffle weave texture and its benefits
- Unlike terry-loop towels that shed fibers from cut loops, the waffle weave's flat, woven surface releases minimal lint after the initial wash, making these the better option for polishing glassware and stainless steel without leaving fibrous streaks.
- The quick-drying weave turns the set-of-2 into a continuous kitchen system: one cloth dries or washes while the other is in use, so you always have a fresh, dry cloth ready without the downtime of a single slow-drying towel.
- The channeled waffle structure allows air to circulate through the cloth even when hung folded, cutting dry time versus a dense flat-weave cotton cloth and suppressing the bacterial growth that causes sour smells in slow-drying towels.
- Each raised square in the pattern acts as a flexible scrubbing node, breaking up stuck-on food particles through texture alone; because the cloth is 100% organic cotton with no abrasive additives, it cleans effectively without scratching non-stick surfaces or delicate glassware.
- The woven grid of raised squares creates hundreds of small pockets that trap water inside the cloth, allowing each 14.25-inch cloth to absorb and hold liquid across its full surface — a flat-woven cloth of the same size would push water across the dish rather than capturing it.
What organic cotton brings to dish duty
- Growing organic cotton cuts water consumption by up to 91% and eliminates the synthetic pesticides that make conventional cotton responsible for 4.7% of global pesticide use — so the cloth that wipes your counters is made from a fiber that treading lighter on freshwater resources and avoids adding agricultural chemicals to the field-to-fabric chain.

Serve the purpose
I bought these for my kitchen for a hard towel holder. They are a good size, nice colour but not as absorbent as I would like. Not actual towel material. Still serve the purpose.
It shrunk to half the size after washing
The dishcloth shrinks too much. The IKEA ones are better
Handy
Disappointed that label says , no bleaching. This is what we do with dishcloths periodically to kill germs. That is why I bought white cloths.

Works very well, washes beautifully, does not shrink after washing and drying.

Ce à quoi je m'attendais
Good size absorbent cloths
The only reason that I didn't give five stars, is that the dishcloths were bit thinner than I expected. This doesn't allow for them to dry quickly after use, but I'm unsure how long they will last. Other good points, very absorbent, good texture for scrubbing and slightly larger than expected. So far, so good during their first week of use.

Very Disappointing!
These were listed as 100% cotton, but they certainly are not! They shrank in the laundry and do not even feel like they have any cotton in them!!! I can't believe they would be listed as all cotton - it is disgusting!!

These dishcloths are very nice. They are soft, absorbent and easily rinsed clean. Pleased with my purchase

These seem absorbent and will do the job. They came out of the dryer very wrinkled though.

Mauvaise qualité
Je suis rarement déçu des produits Simons mais ces chiffons ne sont pas de qualité. Suite au premier lavage, les chiffons ont perdu leurs formes et ne ressemble plus à rien. J’ai acheté 3 paquets alors je vais retourner les 2 que je n’ai pas encore ouvert pour un remboursement.
Des petits torchons si jolis.
Si jolis que je les utilise en serviettes de table. ;-)

Q&A
4 answered- Do these dishcloths shrink significantly after the first few washes?
- 100% organic cotton can shrink slightly with the first few washes, but these are pre-shrunk through the easy-care process, so any shrinkage should be minimal—typically less than 5%.
- How absorbent are these dishcloths compared to standard cotton or microfiber?
- These dishcloths are made of organic cotton, which is naturally absorbent—comparable to standard cotton towels. Microfiber cloths tend to absorb more liquid and hold up to 7x their weight, while cotton absorbs roughly 3–4x its weight. They are less absorbent than microfiber but perform similarly to other cotton dishcloths.
- Do these cloths leave lint on glassware or dishes, especially when new?
- Like most new cotton fabrics, these dishcloths may shed a small amount of lint during the first few washes. Washing them before first use and skipping fabric softener will minimize lint. After a couple of washes, they should be lint-free on glassware.
- Are these dishcloths safe to use on non-stick cookware surfaces without scratching?
- Yes, these 100% organic cotton dishcloths are soft and non-abrasive, making them completely safe for use on non-stick cookware without scratching the surface.
