A Finnish family blogger posted recently about using our environmentally friendly bamboo dish cloths and bamboo wipes in families with children. As we all know, children can be very messy eaters and the dining room is left in a disaster state after the kids have finished their dinner. There is not much we can do about toddlers’ eating habits but we can make the clean-up process a bit more enjoyable. The re-usable bamboo dish cloths are eco friendly products for cleaning up the kitchen and the dining table after the meal. They are naturally bacteria resistant and very absorbent. Due to the anti-bacterial nature of bamboo, there is no bad sour dish rag smell! Just rinse the dishcloth with cold water and hang to dry and the cloth will be fresh for the next use. The bamboo kitchen towels can be washed together with normal laundry. I have thrown mine in the washing machine when I remember, about once a week or once in two weeks, and that has been fine.
The bamboo wipes are also useful while feeding your child to keep the kid clean when he or she is eating. You can keep an extra bamboo cloth on hand, and easily wipe the child’s face with the bamboo rag instead of using a one-time paper tissues. Again, environmentally friendly and saves money in a family with small kids as well! Bamboo fabric is soft and doesn’t irritate child’s skin.
The colorful prints will even make eating and food more fun for the kids. One of the readers who had commented the blog post said that her little girl admires the Russian doll pattern every dinner time, and no doubt! The patterns our designer Susanna has printed on these dish towels and kitchen towels, are so energetic and cheerful that they appeal to the little ones for sure. There are by the way, also some matching cotton tea towels still left and those are the last ones, Susanna will not make any more hand printed tea towels but she will concentrate on the dish rags.

The bamboo cloths can be used as baby wipes in the bathroom as well and they make a sweet eco gift for a newborn. Many parents these days highly appreciate natural baby products. A pair of these cloths made from bamboo fabric would make a welcomed gift for the eco sweetheart, also a fun idea for the babyshower.
