Review on IPPINKA Dishcloth Apricot Traditional Japanese by Priscilla Roque

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So I might get a little obsessed -

I bought it hoping it would be as good as people say Japanese tea towels are and partly because the name fits one of my most commonly used nicknames. and gosh I am so obsessed with how soft it is and how well it absorbs and dries! Can I wash and fully dry dishes by simply squeezing a cloth? Every other tea towel I've had just leaves everything a little damp, even my hands. I always need something dry to dry everything. it is still wet and will soak until it dries! I've been using it as my only fabric for about a month just to see how well it holds up (bruh I fell in love with it after the first use). Wash it in the sink, then hang it in my room to dry so it's always there to be cleaned when I need it. I mainly use it to wash my shakers and after that it doesn't even smell like my bottles anymore. Also so far no stains or anything but I've rubbed it on me too hard like you do with other towels and messed up the first layer a bit but it's been like the first week I've used it, and the little hole didn't get any worse. I took the photos on my lap table as I keep this cloth in my room to use instead of paper towels if I spill water or food and also because my household is not ideal for keeping it in the sink. but no one needs to know the details about them, it's just that some of them can be good substitutes for paper towels and sponges in every household! I only bought one of them but I want to buy a few more! This item is the best and as an introduction to Japanese tableware/napkins I think I will only use them from now on

Pros
  • 8 layers for extra absorbency and durability. Traditional Japanese weaving and construction means the fabric will soften and become more absorbent over time. Micro-strains form on the outer layer of the kitchen napkin, which soften over time. Its special weave pattern ensures the threads don't unravel
Cons
  • embarrassingly
