“Love these
”
by Barbara
These are the best dish clothes I have had. They are really nice to use. I will never go back to the kind I used before after using these. Really fast delivery as well. Thank you Lakeland

“loved but laddered
”
by Sandra
I bought three packs of these. Only had them a week and was really happy a little bulky but really great. Washed up well with first wash and now washed for second time and they have great big ladders so am now really disappointed. Hoping I've just got a dodgy batch.

“Ddishcloths!
”
by Alison
I can hardly believe that I am actually contributing to a review of dishcloths - but I am!!! What are these people doing to their dishcloths to ladder them and shrink them etc!!! I am a positive reviewer and I think they are fabulous! Just the right size - and right absorbency for cleaning up. Certainly never smell. Can be put in and out of the washing machine with no worries and in and out of bleach as well. Wonder why the colour doesnt bleach out but it doesnt so there! Now this is positively the last word I shall say on dishcloths - I love them and will always buy them!

“Best dishcloth
”
by Jane Saxon
Having been a fan of the white lancashire cloths for many years I decided to buy 4 packs of these and wouldn't go back to the others now. They are fantastic quality, used daily in our kitchen at and washed every night. Still look like new, wonderful value and will last for years. Would use them for bathrooms if there was another colour provided to segregate the different use.

“LADDERS VERY QUICKLY - USELESS
”
by Deborah
These laddered the first day that I used them - I certainly won't be buying any more! I bought some a few years ago, and they were much better quality that these. I contacted Lakeland's customer services, who are wonderful, and sorted out my problem immediately.

“Anti-bacterial dishcloths
”
by Jean
I have had 2 packs of these cloths and agree with other reviewers that they do ladder and become misshapen. They also shrink by about 40% after being in the washing machine. I have not noticed any smells, because I use a clean one everyday.

“preferred product
”
by Mrs Pamela Morgan
This is my preferred dishcloth.. Please do them in other colours. They wash well and last ages before being consigned to shoe cleaning or dirty jobs.How sad to have an opinion on dishcloths....get a life for goodness sake.

“Not so sure
”
by
I bought these cloths on the basis of a previous review but I have to disagree. In my opinion they do begin to smell quite quickly HOWEVER I have found out this morning that they make a very good floor cloth. I suppose they will still smell at some point but it is not quite so important if they are used for this purpose. Thank you Lakeland for refunding but perhaps you could review them as a floor cloth?

“Ladders Galore!
”
by Rebecca
I first bought these dishcloths about 18 months ago and I haven't used any other dishcloth since. They are the perfect size - not too thick and bulky, but not too thin and raggy either. They have never twisted out of shape with washing,they can be boiled or soaked in bleach and come out none the worse for wear. When mine begin to look a little tired, they go in the 'rag bag.' My only complaint is they do tend to ladder quite badly from the edge towards the centre. However, Lakeland's excellent customer service replaced them immediately, only for it to happen again!!

“Oh dear!
”
by Mrs Simmonds
The first three I have used and washed of my anti-bacterial dishcloths are full of holes. Laddering from the edges and running down the cloth. Not something I experienced with the last ones I bought which lasted ages.

“Too many holes
”
by Janet
I don't know whether I had a bad batch, but within a week of using each cloth they started to unravel and I found I was washing with holes rather than cloth. Most disappointing as I need a sturdy dishcloth because I run a B&B. Other than that I felt that this cloth was far better quality than the usual run-of-the-mill rag, and it didn't smell. Also to have an antibacterial dish cloth is useful, if not essential, in my business. Can you come up with one that stays together?

“antibacterial dishcloths
”
by Gill
I have used these for years, as dishcloths and for general cleaning. They are a good size, pleasant to handle and last for ages. After a day's use, I throw the cloth in the washing machine or dishwasher and use a fresh one for the next day.

“Good product, with one reservation.
”
by Mrs Brown
These dishcloths certainly do what they say on the packet. Can't remember how long I've had them - at least 18 months, I should think - and they have only just started to lose their anti-bacterial properties. My only reservation is that some of them (I bought two packets) started to pull away from the seams (and therefore ladder) on the very first wash - others have been fine. Good enough for me to order another lot though, as there doesn't seem to be anyone else producing a non-smelly dishcloth.

“Not up to standard - sorry
”
by Katherine Mills
I only used one out of the pack as I was so disappointed with the cloth. After just a couple of washes holes started to show in the centre, and even though I hang the cloth up to dry after use, the smell was absolutely phenomenal! I think the anti-bacterial properties became a home for bacteria. I couldn't even wash it away and the rest of my washing took on the smell too! A total surprise.

“Top Notch Cloths - not so top notch any more
”
by Emma
I loved these dishcloths when I first started using them and I gave a pack to my mum. When I spoke to her last she commented on how she didn't think they were that much better than the ones she got from her local market and that these cloths tend to wear in the middle. I gave it some thought and then looked at my ones. They all had holes in the middle but were excellent condition around the outside. I can't recall that happening with other dishcloths I have had in the past. Shame the middle can't last as well as the edges!

“Keep a clean dishcloth!
”
by Pippa Tremlett
For those like me that have hang-ups about manky dish-cloths - these are super. A bit heavy, rather a lot of dishcloth and would have preferred these a lighter weight, but super absorbent and also do nice wipe-down of surfaces. Very pleased with these particularly as I'm a hygiene freak in the kitchen. Only the weight keeps me from giving these 5 stars.

“wHOLEY a let down
”
by Fiona
I have purchased these in the past and been happy enough with them and so bought the offer of 3 packs to replenish stocks - but what a let down these have been! They come out of the washer in very weird shapes that can't be straightened out which is really annoying and as other reviewers have said they develop holes very quickly - what a mess. I shall be sticking to microfibre cloths in future.

“So disappointing............
”
by Victoria
Very confused as to the varying comments on the odour of these cloths. I have been through several batches over the past year in the hope that each will have improved and have been very disappointed each time. Using them brand new and from the pack, they are brilliant and can last for several days without smelling. However, once washed, you are lucky to go even 1 day without the odour returning. Despite washing these on varying degrees as a test, (the packet contains no washing instructions as I recall) I find that they can often smell the minute they touch water. How can some people have this issue and others do not?? Laddering is also a problem, this happens after just a couple of washes so I am intrigued at lakelands claim that they can survive hundreds of washes and still do their job! Very unhappy and will not be wasting my money on these any longer!

“brilliant if only.................

by Mrs markham
Brought these after a recommendation, but have been very disappointed that they all seem to have ended up with very large holes and they also ladder easily, not what I expect from a Lakeland product.
