Honest Review of the E-Cloth

February 19, 2018 By: Sweet Frugal Life6 Comments

I found the best way to clean white cabinets!

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!  However, 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 (every moms nightmare, right?!?).  I didn’t want to spend money on the expensive Norwex cloth everyone kept telling me about, so I decided to try out the E-Cloth and I am so happy I did!  Here is my full honest review of the E-Cloth.

A few months after we moved into our dream house I started noticing my perfect white cabinets starting to look dirty.  See below for a few of the marks I began seeing on my cabinets.


Honest Review of the E-Cloth

I knew that using cleaners on the cabinets was not good for the white paint, and so I was constantly washing them with a wet dishcloth.  This method would take off some of the grease, but not all of it.  No matter how hard I scrubbed and how often I cleaned.  I could not restore my cabinets to the pure white they once were.

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 had originally fell in love with.

It came time that I needed something better than a washcloth.  I started researching some budget friendly options and came across the e-cloth.

 

The e-cloth had excellent reviews and I loved the fact that I could get FIVE cloths for less than $25.  Talk about a great deal!

The e-cloth arrived last week and I didn’t waste any time pulling it out and 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.

And, I am so happy to admit I was wrong!  I knew I needed to share this great value with all of you!

The Results

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!  Hooray!  The smudges took a little bit more elbow grease, but with some scrubbing the smudges were gone as well.

The cloth was cleaning these stains so much faster than I had ever expected.  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!

 

 


Since the cabinet cleaning went over so well I decided to try the cloth out on my stainless steel refrigerator.

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.

Next, I used the e-cloth dry to dust my wood furniture.  There are so many uses you can get out of this one amazing cloth.

I am so looking forward to enjoying this beautiful white and clean kitchen again!  Maybe I will actually enjoy cleaning from now on……(probably not).

In Conclusion

There are frugal friendly ways to keep your cabinet clean.  Try out these microfiber cloths, I hope you’ll like them as much as I do!
