I Tried These Coyuchi Organic Bath Towels for Cleaning My Kitchen

Inspired by the flat weave of many Turkish towel designs, the Mediterranean towels are the ideal texture for quick hand drying and thorough surface cleaning. When paired with my favorite organic disinfectants, dust removers, and wood cleaners, it’s more effective at polishing the surfaces in my home than any paper towel could hope to be, and it stays in great condition use after use, wash after wash. These towels are 100 percent organic cotton, so they clean easily in the washer and dryer when paired with low heat and gentle detergents.

The Mediterranean towel‘s tight weave means it doesn’t trap residue, but its slightly surfaced texture gives it grip and traction for cleaning. It’s excellent for polishing finished wood surfaces, glassware, and cutlery, and it has enough traction to keep wet dishes stable as they air dry on the countertop. Caring for this towel is easy, too. I simply shake mine out after each use, hang it to dry, and admire it fondly until my next spill. When it looks like it could use a wash, I just throw it in the laundry.
