Ecochic.com reviews the E-cloth Kitchen Pack 9/5/09

It’s rather ironic that I hate to clean and I’m doing a whole week of cleaning reviews!  Why do I hate to clean?  Mostly because I can’t stand the smell of all of those nasty cleaning chemicals. 

A few months ago I got an email from a company called E-cloth asking me to try their product.  I have to tell you that I was a bit skeptical of this company that claims to be able to clean with their cloths and water, no chemicals at all!  Huh?  No bottles of soap?  No scouring pads?  Just cloth?  Like I said, I was a bit skeptical!  I opened them as soon as they arrived and was very curious!

We have hired a really nice lady to help (with household cleaning). We have one of those flat, glass top stoves and it’s always dirty.  I have to use a special polishing cream to get it nice and shiny.  There is no way this soft green cloth is going to clean my stove top.  We were both shocked!  Using only the E-cloth and a little bit of water my stovetop and entire kitchen was clean and streak-free.  No kidding, it was clean! 

Money Saving & Green!  Because you can reuse E-cloths over and over again you can reduce your need for both paper towels and cleaning products. If you wash them once a week one set of E-cloths will last you over 6 years!  No that’s what I call a responsible product!

The price point of the E-cloth Kitchen Pack is $17.98 and you get both the general purpose and the glass and polishing cloth. I think the price might scare some people away from trying these.  However, if you divide that out over the 6 years then E-cloths will only cost you about $3 a year.  That’s cheaper than one bottle of household cleaners! 

Overall opinion?  I like the E-cloths.  I think they work very well, surprisingly well!  I have reduced the amount of paper towels that I’ve used around the house.  They clean better than cotton cloths and are much more absorbent.  I use it regularly in the kitchen and dining room because it doesn’t leave streaks and it easily wipes up the grime!  And with kids you know there is a lot of grime!  Food gets smeared all over the highchair and the E-cloth gets it off easily.  And the glass stove top…it’s never been cleaner!  Yes, I like E-cloths!
