Everyday Life

Drum Roll.....

Dishcloths.

Yes that's right. Today's 2 thumbs up topic is dishcloths.

Maybe dishcloths are not important in your world.

So be it.

In mine, dishcloths are a {relatively} big deal.

At least in the kitchen.

I spend a lot of time in my kitchen

and I need a dishcloth

that's gonna keep up with me

and my cookin' & cleanin'.

No mamsy-pamsy cloths for me.

And all dishcloths are not created equal.

I've tried the cheapies from the dollar store...

the ones where you get 1,000 for a buck.

And I've tried the higher priced ones,

where I have a fit when I buy them

because they're over priced,

and then have a fit when I use them

because they're un-absorbent

and/or unable to be wrung.

I've tried pretty ones, and you know what ya get there.

Yep, just pretty.

I got fed up with the average cloth...

too big, too little,

too thick, too thin,

don't last through beaching,

you name it, I'd had it.

Then I started using these ...

They're the bomb!

I use them for EVERYTHING.

Ok, not everything, but for washing lots of things,

from dishes to cars,

and I gladly recommend them.

Pictured below is a brand new pack -

$8 for 4 from Williams Sonoma.

They're the perfect size and thickness,

ultra absorbent, and they L.A.S.T.

When they can't take the heat anymore

{i.e. they're stained beyond recognition,

no longer turning white with bleach,

and are starting to grow holes},

they migrate to the car wash bucket

where they become useful in a second life.

{Or they migrate to Aynsley's play drawer

where they become blankets for Barbies.

Or something.}

I just love 'em.

Maybe it's just me that's finicky

when it comes to kitchen linens.

But I'll bet after trying these out

on your counter tops,

you'll be finicky too.
