Washcloths - cosy & colourful
Have you showered today? Or maybe you don’t have time for a full shower or bath? Just grab a washcloth and freshen up quickly. We all know washcloths from our childhood. Daily showers were much less common than they are today, and the day’s dirt was thoroughly washed off with a washcloth in the evening. In fact, a washcloth with soap is often enough to freshen up. From a dermatological perspective, it’s actually good for your skin not to shower every day. Cotton washcloths are perfect handy helpers because they can be used repeatedly. After a thorough wash in the washing machine, the washcloths are as good as new.
Be inspired by our extensive range of washcloths and choose your favourite colours to match your bathroom.
Your wash mitt in various colours
All our bath textiles are colour-coordinated. Each colour comes in a washcloth, guest towel, hand towel, and bath towel, and some models and colours also include a special sauna towel. This makes it easy to perfectly match the washcloth with the existing colour scheme of your bathroom. Colours can quickly and easily bring a new look to your personal oasis. Is there a trend colour that particularly appeals to you right now? Or do you prefer fresh and lovely colours in spring and summer, while more muted colours come into the bathroom in the cool winter months? Our inspirations offer great ideas on how to create a cohesive look with washcloths, towels, and more – whether it’s Pastel Love or Colour Love Green.
Washcloths in grey
Grey is a fantastic colour for the bathroom. It fits perfectly in both light and dark-tiled bathrooms. Stacked washcloths in various shades of grey can create a lovely visual effect on the shelf. Grey is also very easy to combine with other colours, so feel free to mix in washcloths in a strong curry yellow or vibrant raspberry red. Warm stone grey or cooler rock grey?
Washcloths in black
If you already have black bath textiles in your bathroom, you can complement them with black washcloths for a cohesive look. Black fits perfectly with elegant styles and modern bathrooms. It’s a striking and bold colour that can set wonderful accents in the bathroom. But your bath textiles don’t have to be purely black. Shades of grey look great alongside it, as does a bold trend colour.
Washcloths in pink
Pink has been a popular home colour for many years. Whether pastel or bold, with more blue or red undertones, pink can appear and feel quite different. Pink washcloths are perfect for light-tiled bathrooms and harmonise well with natural wood. The colour is light, lovely, and warm. Often, pink washcloths are the first choice for girls who are now old enough to wash themselves.
Washcloths in blue
Blue washcloths – a classic and always a perfect choice for the bathroom. Complement your bath textiles with blue washcloths and feel the freshness of the colour when washing your face. Ocean blue, navy blue, frost blue, petrol, or mauve blue – as varied as the names for blue tones are, so are their effects. Create a maritime atmosphere with blue bath textiles. Feeling good can be so simple.
Washcloths in beige
Our Lavinia series offers washcloths in beige. Beige appears softer and less harsh than pure white. Beige combines beautifully with various shades of red and also harmonises wonderfully with warm green and grey tones. Natural tones in bath textiles can easily bring a sense of nature into the bathroom. Cosy, soft beige washcloths enhance this atmosphere.
Colourful washcloths
Are you looking for colourful washcloths for your bathroom? Look no further... Our colour palette offers a wide selection of colourful washcloths. Various shades of yellow, red, blue, and green are available, as well as neutral colours like black and white. Bright, colourful washcloths can bring cheerfulness into your personal oasis, or you can create subtle colour combinations. Which colours appeal to you?
Soft washcloths made from high-quality cotton
Washcloths belong in a well-stocked linen cupboard. Our particularly soft washcloths are made from 100% high-quality cotton. Their weave density provides a pleasant feel and makes them wonderfully cosy. The Leonora series goes a step further, perfecting the voluminous and soft feel with a special weaving technique.
Cotton is very gentle on the skin, absorbs a lot of moisture, and is both shape-retaining and durable. Since washcloths need to be washed frequently at high temperatures, the quality and robustness of the material are especially important.
Flannel - Use
A cool washcloth can wake up even the sleepiest morning person. Or maybe using a washcloth for makeup removal is part of your routine? There are numerous uses for these small bath textiles. Delightfully soft washcloths not only refresh but can also provide small moments of comfort when used thoughtfully. The especially soft washcloths are perfect for young children and sensitive baby skin.
Flannels for children / your baby
In households with young children, washcloths are used daily. Whether for cleaning the diaper area of babies or wiping the mouth after meals, washcloths are indispensable. They can even be used for play and washing in the bath. With super-soft washcloths in cheerful colours, children often enjoy washing their own faces or mouths. Our range includes pink washcloths for little princesses and lovely blue shades for adventurous pirates.
Wash mitts
Whether called a wash mitt or washcloth mitt, these small bath textiles measure about 15 x 21 cm. Wash mitts are closed on three sides. You slip your hand into the mitt and can easily control the washing of your face or body. Because wash mitts don’t slip off your hand, they are great for gently massaging the skin during a bath. Another option for washing are soap cloths or soap towels, which are small towels measuring 30 x 30 cm.
Washcloth sets
Is it time for new washcloths for your bathroom? The Leonora and Ladessa series offer a wide range of colours for the most beautiful combinations. Which colours match your bathroom? Towels and washcloths can quickly bring a fresh breeze to your bathroom. Our Pastel Love inspiration shows beautifully how colours like white, cloud pink, Sahara yellow, and sage green can be combined. For a maritime atmosphere, various shades of blue can be chosen, while a playful, feminine look can be achieved with a mix of sand beige, cloud pink, pastel red, and velvet red. In our online shop, you can choose washcloths individually and create your own washcloth set.
Washcloth holders
To allow washcloths to dry properly, all our wash mitts are equipped with a practical hanging loop. Wall hooks placed near the sink are particularly clever. This way, the washcloth quickly finds a place and is ready for the next use. We offer various sizes, shapes, and materials for washcloth holders in our range. There are also different attachment systems for fixing the holder to tiles. Our high-quality Lucido double hook made of stainless steel is a great eye-catcher. To ensure a fresh washcloth is always at hand, they can be neatly stored in small baskets.
Frequently asked questions about washcloths
How should you wash mitts?
Modern detergents and washing machines are highly efficient, often achieving clean laundry with 40 °C wash cycles. However, for washcloths and towels, washing at 60 °C is still recommended to ensure they are hygienically clean. This higher temperature is essential for killing any germs, fungi, and bacteria that may reside on these bath textiles. To prevent the growth of germs, it is crucial to thoroughly dry washcloths before placing them in the laundry basket. Similarly, ensure they are completely dry before storing them in your linen cupboard.
Should you wash your face with a flannel?
Even if you do not wear makeup or daily creams, cleaning your face morning and night is vital to prevent pores from becoming clogged with sebum. The facial skin is thinner and more sensitive, making soft washcloths ideal for gentle cleansing. It is important to gently wipe the face with a washcloth and clear water, avoiding vigorous rubbing. A dry washcloth can also be used to pat the cleansed face dry. Washcloth mitts are particularly suitable for facial cleansing as they fit over the hand and do not slip during use.
How should washcloths be dried?
After each wash, allow the washcloth to dry as much as possible. Wring out the washcloth thoroughly and shake it out to remove any folds. A damp, bunched-up washcloth can become a breeding ground for germs, bacteria, and fungi. Regularly replacing washcloths and washing them at high temperatures is essential for hygiene. Using a tumble dryer is beneficial, as it softens the fibres, maintaining the washcloth’s plush feel. Dryer balls can be added to enhance this effect. Always follow the washing and care instructions on the label.
How often should washcloths be changed?
The frequency of washing your washcloths depends on their use. Washcloths used for body cleansing in the shower or bath should be washed after each use. Those used to wipe a child’s mouth after meals can be used 3-4 times before washing. Always ensure the washcloth is well-dried between uses and before placing it in the laundry basket.
