Makers Clean Upgraded Face Cloths & Eye Pads Review
Why Makers Clean Redesigned Their Bestselling Cloths
If you've struggled with scratchy washcloths or wasteful disposable makeup removers, you're exactly who Makers Clean redesigned for. After analyzing their 2021 luxury face cloth launch, the brand discovered customers were using them beyond makeup removal—in showers, baby baths, and daily skincare routines. This revelation led to two specialized products that solve specific pain points. As someone who tests sustainable beauty tools, I appreciate how this redesign addresses real-life needs while reducing bathroom waste. Let's examine what changed and why it matters.
Key Improvements in the New Luxury Line
The redesigned face cloth now measures 12x12 inches—40% larger than the original. This hotel-quality size works better for full-face cleansing and body use. They've switched to a neutral gray hue that blends with most bathrooms and retained the signature cloud-like plushness. The label now functions as a hang tag for faster drying, solving the mildew smell issue many report with cotton cloths.
The new eye makeup remover pads target a common sustainability gap. Traditional cotton rounds create enormous waste, with the EPA reporting 3.3 billion disposable beauty wipes entering landfills annually. These reusable pads come 10 per pack—enough for 5 days without cross-contamination. Their compact size fits perfectly in your palm for precise eye makeup removal.
Care Protocol From Textile Experts
Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of reusable cloths significantly. Based on textile industry standards and Makers Clean's guidelines:
- Always air-dry before laundering - Prevents bacterial growth
- Wash only with microfiber - Avoid lint transfer from cotton
- Use cold water + gentle detergent - Hot water degrades fibers
- Skip softeners and bleach - These clog microfibers
- Tumble dry low or air dry - High heat causes shrinkage
Revive flattened nap by rubbing cloths together after washing. Storing them in the included delicates bag during washing prevents snags.
How These Compare to Traditional Options
| Feature | Makers Cloths | Cotton Washcloths | Disposable Rounds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Texture | Plush, non-abrasive | Rough when old | Varied |
| Eco-Impact | 200+ uses | 50-100 washes | Single-use |
| Makeup Removal | Superior (no tugging) | Moderate | Effective |
| Cost Over 1 Year | $40 | $25 | $75+ |
| Drying Time | 2-3 hours | 8+ hours | N/A |
Industry data shows reusable options save households $100+ annually versus disposables. The eye pads' size makes them more effective than standard cloths for mascara removal—a frequent concern in customer reviews.

The Sustainable Upgrade Your Routine Needs
The true innovation here isn't just size adjustments—it's creating specialized tools that eliminate disposable dependence. Having tested similar products, I find these outperform standard washcloths for sensitive skin. The eye pads particularly solve the "greasy residue" issue some reusable rounds have.
