Carreaux Classique checked cotton tea towel 50 × 70 cm

After a family lunch, the plates are put away, a few glasses still need drying and the kitchen slowly settles down. The Carreaux Classique checked cotton tea towel is made for these everyday moments. Its timeless check pattern combines a light background with fine intersecting lines and a touch of colour, giving a useful kitchen essential a little personality.

A cotton tea towel for dishes and glassware

Made from 100% cotton, this tea towel is designed to absorb moisture and dry quickly between uses. It comes in handy when you are putting away clean plates or carefully drying the glasses after dinner. Its 50 × 70 cm size gives you plenty of fabric to unfold or fold over, depending on the item you are drying. For an everyday routine that works well, consider keeping one clean towel for glasses and tableware and a different cloth for wiping work surfaces. It is a simple habit that helps keep the tasks in your kitchen separate.

A familiar checked design in four colours

Against a light background, fine lines and slightly stronger border stripes create a classic grid. The range comes in red, greige-grey, black and taupe, depending on availability. Red adds energy to a kitchen with white cabinets or pale wood; black makes a more graphic statement. Greige and taupe sit comfortably alongside natural materials, pottery and calm neutral shades. Choose a colour that picks up a detail already in your kitchen, or use the tea towel as a small contrast against plain countertops and accessories. You can change the mood without replacing the things you use every day.

OEKO-TEX® certification for an everyday textile

Carreaux Classique is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. It is a useful detail when selecting a textile that will be handled often during washing up, cooking and tidying. The checked design is understated enough to leave within reach without disrupting your kitchen decor. If you like mixing useful linens in complementary colours, browse our selection of kitchen tea towels for other patterns and styles. A few well-chosen textiles can make even the washing-up routine feel a little more pleasant.

Washing and caring for your checked tea towel

This towel can be machine washed at 60°C. Do not use bleach; tumble drying is allowed and it can be ironed up to 150°C. Do not dry clean. Mamimosa’s tip: wash tea towels with similar colours and keep them separate from very fluffy items so loose fibres are less likely to end up on your glassware. Between uses, spread the fabric out to dry instead of leaving it scrunched up near the sink. It is an easy habit for a busy family kitchen.
