Key features & specs

How it compares

Traditional microfiber cloths are synthetic and shed microplastics into waterways. In contrast, The Simply Co. linen cloths are natural, biodegradable, and just as absorbent. Compared to cotton rags, linen is stronger when wet and leaves less lint, making it better for mirrors and windows. They also outlast many organic cotton cloths due to linen's durable fibers.

What to know before buying

1. Pre-wash cloths in warm water to soften the linen for optimal absorbency.
2. Use dry for dusting surfaces or slightly damp for glass and mirrors.
3. Avoid using bleach or fabric softener, which can damage natural fibers.
4. Store in a dry place; linen resists mildew naturally.
5. Replace after heavy staining or when linen becomes frayed (typically 1-2 years).
6. Compost at end of life by cutting into small pieces.

Frequently asked questions

Are The Simply Co. linen cloths lint-free?

Yes, these linen cloths are virtually lint-free after the first wash. They are excellent for glass and polished surfaces where lint is a concern.

How do these cloths compare to microfiber for cleaning?

Linen is natural, compostable, and streak-free, while microfiber is synthetic, sheds microplastics, and can scratch delicate surfaces. Linen is gentler for fine china and electronics.

Can I use these cloths with the Simply Co. natural cleaners?

Yes, they pair perfectly with the brand's organic cleaning vinegars and oils, though they work with any cleaner.

How often should I wash linen cleaning cloths?

After every few uses, or when they become visibly soiled. Linen's antimicrobial properties allow for low-maintenance cleaning.

Are these cloths durable enough for heavy scrubbing?

Linen is strong but not abrasive; for tough grime, use a brush or pair the cloth with a gentle scrub. Avoid over-scrubbing on porous surfaces.
