So, is cleaning high up on our wish list? Nah. But … when we find something clever, we’re prepared to make an exception.
The new Los Lappies are not like normal cleaning clothes, which are made from synthetic, plastic-based fibres, stay damp for too long and quickly start to smell like the very mess they are meant to clean.
These ones are plant-fibre cloth (hello earth-friendly) made from 70 per cent wood cellulose and 30 per cent cotton by-products … they feel paper-like when dry, turn soft and spongy when damp, absorb instantly, dry quickly and don’t get that damp-cloth smell.
Plus, a single Los Lappie can last six to nine months, and although its main ingredient is the same plant-fibre used to make paper, it is durable enough to go in the dishwasher or washing machine again and again and again.
Then, once worn thin, they can be composted instead of sent to landfill. Two sizes … the everyday OG for sinks, counters, sticky hands and small spills, the XL for bigger clean-ups, windows, appliances and all the moments when a standard cloth feels too small.
Fun sayings to cheer up cleaning, and they’re made locally. R240 for four OG or two XL from loslappies.com.
