We moved into a new house a few months ago and fell instantly in love with the beautiful white kitchen. White cabinets, white subway tile, white quartz counter tops. It was what my kitchen dreams were made of! With three kids in the house it didn’t take long for those beautiful pure white cabinets to become covered in smudges and finger grease.
I knew that using cleaners on the cabinets was not good for the white paint. I was constantly washing them with a wet dishcloth. This method would take off some of the grease, but not all of it. The other negative thing I found with the wet dishcloth is that it always left behind water streaks. I was feeling frustrated and missing the clean cabinets I originally fell in love with.
I had a few friends recommend the Norwex cloth to me. They all swore it was the best cleaner and promised it was worth every single penny. My frugal mindset however, was having a hard time wanting to spend $20 on a cloth! I convinced myself I could keep the cabinets clean with my plain dishcloth.
Well, I was WRONG! No matter how hard I scrubbed and how often I cleaned. I could not restore my cabinets to the pure white they once were.
I finally accepted that I needed something to help me, but I still felt like $20 was to much to spend on a cloth. I started researching cheaper options and came across the e-cloth. It had excellent reviews and for $11 I would get not just one but TWO cloths. This was a much better value and I added it to my February budget.
The e-cloth arrived last week and I didn’t waste any time pulling it out and attacking cleaning my cabinets. I’ll be honest with you, I was NOT expecting it to work any different then the plain old Walmart dish rag I had been using. I was so so pleasantly surprised to be wrong! I was so happy with it I knew I needed to share it with everyone I know.
The e-cloth is similar to the Norwex Cloth that it has zero chemicals and is very eco friendly. It came with easy to follow instructions and all I needed to do in order to get started was add a little bit of water to the cloth and it was ready for scrubbing!
The water streaks and grease came off instantly! The smudges took a little bit more elbow grease, but with some scrubbing the smudges were gone as well. I truly could not believe how quickly and easily the cloth was cleaning these stubborn stains. I was worried at first that there would be water streaks left behind, but when I came back and looked closely after it dried I could not find a single streak! Not one! My cabinets felt as smooth and clean as they felt the day I moved in. I was in heaven!
I decided that since the cabinet cleaning went over so well I needed to try the cloth out on my stainless steel refrigerator. I usually clean my stainless steel appliances with this cleaner. It works great, but I thought if I could use the e-cloth for my appliances as well as the cabinets I would really be getting my moneys worth.
The e-cloth worked just as great on the stainless steel fridge as it did on the cabinets. All those fingerprints were instantly washed away. Look at these before and after photos, they were taken within about a minute of each other. It was honestly that quick and easy!
After two successes I went a little overboard cleaning every inch of my house. I used the cloth on my counter top, my tile back splash, the microwave, and our doors, and trim. It reminded me of a cloth form of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, Original (8 Count) “>the magic eraser. But, even better! I even used the cloth dry to dust my wood furniture. With so many uses the general purpose e-cloth is a fantastic value! I am looking forward to enjoying this beautiful white and clean kitchen again! Let me know if you try the e-cloth and if you love it as much as I did.
I don’t have white kitchen cabinets but very light natural wood. I read this with interest since many of these things I can use on my cabinets.
I have white cabinets and am now very interested in the ecloth! Thanks for this review.
Love white kitchens!! Definitely need a game plan for tackling the mess though- thank you for sharing!
That’s so interesting! I’ve never heard of this before.
It is awesome! I’ve been using it non stop!
