01 — About NeverWype

We got angry at the trash bin. So we killed the paper towel.

2019

Americans trash 13 billion pounds of paper towels a year. Founder Maya Lindqvist counted 7 rolls a month in her own tiny Oslo kitchen — and thought: this is insane. NeverWype started in a garage with bamboo pulp, Swedish engineering and one obsession: a wipe you never throw away.

NeverWype is not microfiber. It's a 3-layer plant system: eucalyptus + bamboo viscose for absorbency, cellulose core for scrub, silver-ion thread for freshness. No plastic shedding. Fully compostable at end of life.

2019 — Garage prototype
120 failed weaves. One that absorbed red wine in 2 seconds.

2021 — Launch & sold out
12,000 kits in 48 hours. Restocked 4 times.

2023 — Lab certified
Independent test: 302 washes, still 94% absorbency.

2025 — 120,000 homes plastic-free
Saved 38M paper rolls. 1% for ocean cleanup.

2026 — NeverWype 2.0
Thinner, faster-drying, compostable packaging, new colors.

Our mission: make disposable cleaning extinct by 2030.

Paper towel vs NeverWype: 30-day kitchen challenge

We gave 50 families only 4 NeverWypes for a month. Result: 97% never bought paper towels again. Average saved: $184/year.

Material deep dive

What's inside? Eucalyptus, bamboo, genius.

Layer 1: scrub cellulose. Layer 2: super-absorbent bamboo. Layer 3: silver freshness. Stitched, not glued. No PFAS, no bleach.

03 — How it works

Wipe. Rinse. Hang. Repeat for 2 years.

STEP 01

Wet it

Run under tap. It gets softer and grippier when damp. For dust, use dry.

STEP 02

Wipe everything

Counters, stove, bathroom, glass, spills, baby high-chair, car dash.

STEP 03

Rinse in 5 sec

Soap + rinse, wring. Stains release. Hang by loop — dries in 40 min.

STEP 04

Machine wash weekly

Toss with towels at 40°C. No softener. Compost after ~2 years.

04 — Starter kits

Pick your color. Ditch paper forever.

Messy humans approve.

★★★★★

"I haven't bought paper towels in 14 months."

Spills, bacon grease, toddler art — these handle it. They still look new after 80 washes. I'm a convert for life.

— Jessica M., Austin mom of 3

★★★★★

"My cafe cut consumables cost by 73%."

We use 32 Wypes on rotation. Health inspector loved them. No smell, no lint on glasses.

08 — FAQ

Questions? Wiped clean.

How long does one NeverWype last?

2 years on average with weekly machine washing — about 300 cycles. Heavy commercial use: 12-14 months. When it thins, compost it (certified home-compostable in 90 days).

Does it really not smell?

Yes. Silver-ion yarn + open weave dries in 40 minutes, so bacteria can't party. Rinse after fish/meat, wash weekly. If you leave it balled up wet for days, boil 5 min with baking soda.

Is it better than bamboo paper towels?

Bamboo disposables are better than wood pulp, but still single-use. One NeverWype = 1,000 disposables in waste, water and CO2. Plus saves ~$184/year.

How do I wash them?

Machine 40°C with towels, no softener, no bleach. Tumble low or hang. Dishwasher safe. They get more absorbent after first 3 washes.

What if I hate it?

60-day "Love it or compost it" guarantee. Full refund, keep one cloth. Less than 1.8% return rate.
