Product Information

One Washcloth hopes to encourage the sharing of a washcloth at the bedside following a death, with as many families as possible. Individuals and organizations may wish to purchase washcloth gift sets directly from One Washcloth, or source washcloths locally, themselves. Gift tags are available, which gently explain the purpose of the washcloth, and can be attached to any washcloth that is given.

Using environmentally friendly and organic fabrics, One Washcloth gift sets cost approximately $15 to produce. Please consider donating this amount for each One Washcloth gift bag and cloth set that you request.

We will gratefully accept donations to allow us to supply One Washcloth gift sets and gift tags to families and organizations that cannot afford to cover costs. We welcome you to make these generous donations in memory of a loved one or friend (memorial cards available; unfortunately we cannot offer charitable tax receipts at this time).
