100% Cotton Wrinkle-free Wonder Napkins

On Monday, Joy wanted to know if we, too, struggled with spending our hard-earned cash on eco-kitchen gadgetry. She’s been wringing her hands and wracking her brain, trying to reach a decision. Should she get a cast iron pan or a set of stainless steel storage ware? I don’t know.

What I do know is what she should do about her napkin dilemma. “Are there such things as wrinkle-free cloth napkins that aren’t horrible polyester?” Joy asked. The answer is yes.

I am the proud owner of one 100% cotton napkin from Cost Plus World Market. I think it must be one of these buffet napkins (a set of 6 is $9.99). Here I am with my beloved napkin, straight from the wash. As you can see, it is smooth and wrinkle-free. I have no idea why I have ONE of these napkins, but it is definitely my favorite. I may just have to stock up on a whole set. I can’t let Joy have all the fun!

We use the cheapo tea towels from IKEA. I think they were .49/each when we bought them but last time I was in an IKEA they were up to .79/each – still a great deal considering we use them instead of paper towels, hand towels, napkins, etc. When they get too gross, they get turned into cleaning rags, then put aside for those rare jobs that require something disposable. I need more in fact, but we are nowhere near an IKEA anymore so I’m holding out for when we visit friends who are I also use flour sacks I bought at Sam’s for $9.99 for 12. They are huge and can be easily cut down into smaller towels if needed, but they are wonderfully absorbent and work great for drying dishes. I do have some nicer cloth napkins but we only use them for special occasions and I don’t mind ironing them so rarely. They don’t get too wrinkly though – they are from Crate and Barrel if you want to give their’s a go!

I bought a set of napkins from Cost Plus and they wrinkle horribly. They must have changed their supplier.

Oh no! I was going to stock up on the napkins. My one Cost Plus napkin is so great and wrinkle resistant!

I have the secret! My fabulous childcare provider also read this post and rushed out to buy a set of the napkins. She was similarly disappointed when they came out in a wrinkled mess. She then washed them with natural fabric softener and made sure to put it in the detergent, bleach, and fabric softener sections of her washing machine. They came out quite nicely. Not to worry Rebecca! You can still buy some as long as you’re willing to pick up some natural fabric softener as well.
