E-Cloth General Purpose Cloth
The flagship "clean with just water" microfiber cloth - effective and reusable, but 80% polyester / 20% polyamide, which is to say plastic that sheds microfibers every wash.
The verdict: Mostly plastic
E-Cloth's cloth is microfiber - 80% polyester, 20% polyamide by the company's own spec - so it's plastic. Its fine split-fiber structure genuinely cleans well with water alone, which is the real appeal, and that "chemical-free" claim is true and separate from the material question. But being a synthetic textile, it sheds microplastic fibers in the wash, the same problem as synthetic clothing. It's documented here as the effective-but-plastic reusable that the natural cloths above replace.
Verification: Manufacturer confirmed
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Surface contact |
|---|---|---|
| cloth (majority) 80% polyester microfiber | Polyester | Yes primary |
| cloth (remainder) 20% polyamide (nylon) | Nylon Polyamide | Yes primary |
A microfiber cloth marketed on cleaning with water only - no sprays - with a 1-year / 100-wash guarantee. It works, and it's documented here rather than recommended for the material reason in the verdict above, not because it cleans poorly.
Pros
- Cleans well with water alone; durable for hundreds of washes
- Traps fine dust and grease better than most natural cloths
Cons
- Polyester/nylon microfiber - a plastic that sheds microfibers in the wash
- "Chemical-free" marketing doesn't mention the microplastic shedding
