What is Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt made from?Updated 3 days ago
TL;DR: Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt has two specialised microfibre faces, a 600 GSM plush lather side and a 500 GSM ground-yarn scrub side, plus a 4 mm water-resistant PU foam lining backed with tricot and an elasticated knit cuff. It is made in South Korea. Because it is a mixed synthetic build, it is not kerbside recyclable, so get the most out of it with the right wash routine and a second life on rougher jobs.
What is Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt made from?
✓ Lather side
600 GSM plush microfibre weave. 70% polyester, 15% polyamide, 15% polypropylene. Designed to whip Bathroom & Shower Cleaner into a rich foam and to dry quickly between uses.
✓ Scrub and buff side
500 GSM ground-yarn blend. 75% polyester, 25% polyamide. A striped texture for extra bite on soap scum and mineral deposits, without scratching tiles, glass or enamel.
✓ Water-resistant lining
A 4 mm PU foam panel bonded to tricot fabric on the inside of the mitt. It keeps your hand dry during heavy scrubbing or extended use under running water.
✓ Elasticated cuff
An elasticated knit that hugs the wrist so the mitt stays put while you scrub. Better control, and less water running down your arm. An internal stitch helps hold your hand in place. See how to use the mitt.
Made in South Korea to Koh’s spec.
Why does each side use different materials?
✓ Built around the bathroom job
The plush lather side maximises soft contact with wet surfaces so cleaner foams up quickly and lifts grime gently, and the added polypropylene helps that face dry faster. The firmer striped scrub side grips soap scum and mineral deposits without scratching tiles, glass or enamel. The 4 mm PU foam lining stops water soaking through to your hand, and the elasticated cuff locks the mitt in place for control during a full shower clean. Those same materials are why how long the mitt lasts comes down to the stripes, the seams and the shape rather than a wash count.
Can Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt be recycled?
⚠ Not kerbside recyclable
Multiple synthetic fibres, polyester, polyamide and polypropylene, bonded to a PU foam lining make this a mixed-material product. Most kerbside collections only accept single-material textiles, so the mitt goes in general waste at the end of its life.
✓ Get the most out of it first
Machine wash on a cool cycle with Sensitive Laundry Liquid and non-linting items only, no cotton towels. Skip the bleach and fabric softener, and air-dry where you can. When the mitt is past its best for bathrooms, move it on to grout scrubbing, outdoor furniture or garden jobs before disposal.
Does the material affect how I wash it?
✓ Microfibre sets the rules
Fabric softener and dryer sheets coat the loops and cut lather and grip. Chlorine bleach breaks the fibres down. Cotton sheds lint into the loops. High heat and ironing damage the pile permanently. Start with the pre-wash before first use, then follow the ongoing wash and dry routine.
Dual-sided microfibre and scrub mitt with a glove-style fit and water-resistant lining. Made in South Korea.
The fragrance-free foaming cleaner Ultra Pro Bathroom Mitt is designed to lather up. Sensitive Choice approved and made in Australia.
