HOT PICKS [FRIDAY]
Follow Your Nose
March 7, 2008
If smelly dishcloths have you affixing a clothes peg to your nose every time you need to wash a plate, there are a couple of less aromatic options for you: one, you can eat out every single day and never have to pull on a pair of rubber gloves again, or two, invest in Mabu multi-cloths and actually look forward to diving into the suds.
These little towels are nothing short of revolutionary: they’re made of anti-bacterial wood fibre from 100 per cent natural wood, their eight-layer design creates a soft, touchable cloth while holding in dirt and bacteria, and once you rinse them out, they are fresh and white again. And, while you can use them with your favourite cleaners, these gems perform best with plain old water.
Best of all, Mabu cloths are not restricted to the kitchen sink. You can use them to wipe, polish, and scrub any surface - including your face. No kidding: they make great exfoliators, and sporty types can carry one with them for a quick swab. (We’d tell you to banish all those far inferior, smell-mongering rags to the garage, but Mabu will work wonders on your car, too.)
Say good-bye forever to fusty dishcloths at Wrasma Marketing, Denman Place Mall, 1030 Denman Street.
