Want to be green - with a really clean house?

e Cloth = Chemical Free Cleaning

e Cloth at The Afternoon Online
We are often asked, “How can a cloth made of polyester and nylon be good for the environment?”  That is a question we are happy to answer.  e-cloths come with a 300 Wash Guarantee.  

You do daily cleaning with e-cloth and rinse the cloth out in the sink under hot water.  Once each week, wash the cloth with your regular wash (do not use bleach or fabric softener) and they are ready for another week of cleaning.  If you wash the cloth once each week, the cloths are guaranteed for about 6 years of cleaning.  In six years, how many paper towels, wipes, spray cans and bottles of chemicals will you go through?

Eliminating or reducing the use of household cleaning chemicals is a major benefit to the environment.  Those chemicals go down our drains and remain on surfaces in our homes. 
The cans and bottles they are sold in end up in our landfills forever.  An e-cloth and just water avoids all of this mess.

Paper towels are also a huge burden on the environment.  According to the EPA, “every day 3,000 tons of used paper towels are discarded in landfills”.  It takes 51,000 trees per day to replace those used paper towels.  By using an e-cloth to wipe up spills and accomplish those quick cleaning tasks, your home gets a more thoroughly cleaned surface, you save the cost of the paper towel and the waste doesn't end up in our landfill.  

That is a lot of benefit from one simple change.
