Sure Things: E-Cloth Cleaning Products

Posted by Natalie Kaar / Friday, January 27th, 2012

Hello, shoppers!

With so many cleaning product ads promising an unmatchable cleaning performance it’s hard to know who we can trust. Companies market with the goal of convincing customers their product is the best. With so many brands, products and guarantees most customers can’t deny that they’ve fallen victim to a false promise or two. But to all those readers who have felt jaded from past cleaning product disappointments, don’t succumb to bitterness and doubt … just yet.

Introduced in 1995, e-cloth® has claimed the title of Europe’s No. 1 chemical-free cleaning company, and in 2008 e-cloth® products traveled overseas to join the competition on the United State’s grocery store shelves. The company declares that their mission “is to supply the most effective, healthiest and most environmentally friendly cleaning system available at a good value to the consumer.” The e-cloth® fabric is made up of 80 percent polyester (the scrubbing and cleaning fiber), and 20 percent polyamide (the absorbing and quick-drying fiber). Using this micro fiber technology, the company prides themselves on their non-chemical, eco-conscious approach to household cleaning.

E-cloth products don’t even require the use of detergents, soaps or scrubbers to achieve the perfect clean. All that’s needed is water! This may seem like another empty promise, but I have personally tested the e-cloth® general purpose cloth and the floor mop, and can vouch that they really do accomplish everything e-cloth® promotes. With the mop, I did apply some all-purpose cleaning spray to a sticky spot, to really guarantee a spotless clean, but I’m not sure if it was necessary. One of the great things about the mop is that it extends over edges and really gets into corners to get a full-contact clean. I have always been a fan of the Swiffer, but between the two products there’s really no competition; e-cloth® takes the cake!

But the floor mop and general purpose cloth are only the beginning. E-cloth® has special cloths for cleaning tech toys like iPhones and e-readers like the Kindle and Nook, cloths especially suited for stainless steel and much more. All can be purchased on the e-cloth® website. I’ve also seen the cloths available on Amazon.

So before all hope is lost, under a film of dirt and grime, try the e-cloth® product line. At a reasonable price of $9.98, the general purpose cloth shouldn’t break the bank. And think of all that money you’ll save on paper towels.

Happy shopping!
