100% natural plant fibers are used, which can be 100% completely decomposed by soil. The fiber cloth has excellent water absorption, quick-drying, antibacterial properties, and is also less likely to produce unpleasant odors. Before wetting, the cloth is as thin as paper, and upon contact with water, it expands and becomes a thick cloth! It can absorb up to about 10 times its own weight in water, allowing it to quickly soak up a large amount of moisture at once; additionally, the advantage of fiber material is that it leaves no water marks after drying. It also will not scratch glass, lacquerware, and other delicate utensils, providing a clean and safe wipe. Both practical and environmentally friendly!

kata kata is a design studio co-founded by the couple Takeshi Matsunaga and Chie Takai, with design inspirations drawn from the natural environment of daily life in Japan, focusing on animals, insects, plants, and birds, resulting in works full of vitality.
What is a Sponge Cloth?
Developed by a Swede in 1949, the sponge cloth, originally named WETTEX, is a coined term from WET (wet) and TEX (textile). Later, the Swedish WETTEX transferred its license to Germany, where production began. As a type of dishcloth that integrates high functionality, design, and sustainability, it is currently very popular in Germany, the United States, Japan, and other countries around the world.
The sponge cloth is made of 70% cellulose (extracted from wood chips) and 30% cotton, which has excellent compatibility with water. When wet, it quickly transforms into a fluffy “cloth” similar to a sponge. These fluffy surfaces have many pores, allowing them to absorb a large amount of water, with water absorption as strong as a sponge.
Usage by Soaking in Water
When dry, it is as brittle as paper; but after wetting, it becomes soft and elastic. Before use, please soak it in water, and gently squeeze it with one hand to drain the water without excessively twisting it, as this can easily cause cracks. After use, rinse thoroughly and store in a well-ventilated place. It can be washed in the washing machine or boiled for disinfection.
Multifunctional Uses
With amazing water absorption ability, it can instantly absorb more than 10 times its own weight in water. It leaves no water marks or lint. It can be used not only as a dishcloth or drying mat, but also in areas involving water, such as bathrooms, toilets, and wiping condensation off windows. If cut with scissors, it can be freely used according to space and purpose.
Quick-Drying, Antibacterial, and Odor-Free
The sponge cloth has strong water absorption, and if pressed, moisture is quickly released from its countless pores, drying quickly. Quick drying also makes it difficult for bacteria to grow, and it will not produce unpleasant odors.
