Binchotan Charcoal Dishcloth

Binchotan charcoal has been valued as a deodorant since ancient times. It is made with fibres kneaded with Kishu Binchotan, the highest quality binchotan charcoal. The supple texture makes it suitable for use not only as a dishcloth, but also for other purposes such as hand towels. 

Rayon is a recycled fiber made from wood pulp that biodegrades and returns to nature. It has better moisture absorption and release properties than cotton or linen, and is less likely to retain odors, making it ideal for dish towels.
