Baleinette Kaya Kiji Fukin Kitchen Cloth

The cloth is treated with a starch finish during production to maintain its shape and structure. This stiffness will wash away completely after the first rinse, revealing the soft, pliable, and absorbent texture of the mosquito net fabric.

This cloth uses a seven-layer mosquito net construction that is significantly more absorbent than standard cotton—about 1.3 times more. Because of its open-weave design, it also dries much faster, which helps prevent the sour odors that often develop in thicker, denser towels.

Yes. The material is gentle and non-abrasive, making it safe for delicate glassware and coated cookware. It is effective at wiping down surfaces without leaving lint or scratches behind.

These cloths are machine washable, but we recommend avoiding bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the natural fibers and reduce absorbency. Simply wash with like colors and hang to dry; the fabric will become softer and more flexible with every cycle.

While the seven-layer construction is durable, this cloth is designed primarily for wiping, drying, and general kitchen cleanup rather than heavy-duty scouring. For tough, stuck-on grime, you may want to pair it with a dedicated scrub brush.
