Reusable Drawstring Cheesecloth 45×60cm – Straining & Cheese-Making Cloth | WIMU Kitchen Kenya

This reusable drawstring cheesecloth turns fiddly straining jobs into a one-hand task. The soft, breathable weave lets liquid flow through freely while holding back curds, pulp and sediment, and the built-in drawstring lets you cinch the top shut so nothing spills as you lift, hang or squeeze.

It is made for home cooks in Kenya who make their own – whether that is thick strained yoghurt for breakfast, fresh nut milk, clear stock, smooth passata or a batch of jam. Unlike a single-use muslin square or a flimsy sieve, this cloth is washable and built to be used again and again, so you are not reaching for kitchen roll or buying disposable filters every time you cook.

Specifications

Why you'll love it

• Cleaner results: the fine, breathable weave catches pulp, curds and sediment so your milk, stock and juice come out smooth and clear.
• No mess: pull the drawstring tight and the top seals, so you can hang or squeeze without ingredients escaping.
• One cloth, many jobs: straining, filtering, wrapping herbs for stock, draining yoghurt – it covers most of your kitchen straining needs.
• Kind to your budget: wash it and reuse it, instead of buying disposable filters or wasting kitchen towel.
• Easy to store: folds down flat and takes up almost no drawer space.
• Gentle handling: the generous 45×60cm size gives you plenty of cloth to gather and grip.

Is it right for you?

This cloth is ideal if you like making things from scratch: strained (Greek-style) yoghurt, homemade paneer or soft cheese, nut and soya milk, clear bone or vegetable stock, fruit jellies and jam, or fresh cold-pressed juice. It suits busy family kitchens as well as anyone experimenting with dairy-free milks or fermenting at home. The 45×60cm size is roomy enough for a full batch yet easy to handle over a standard bowl, jug or pot – a sensible pick whether you cook occasionally or every day.

How it compares

Compared with a basic metal sieve, this cloth strains far finer – a sieve lets fine pulp and sediment slip through, while the tight weave here holds it back for a clean pour. And unlike disposable muslin squares or paper filters that you throw away after one use, this is a reusable cloth with a drawstring that actually closes, so it stays put while it drains. It does the same job as an open square of muslin, only tidier and easier to hang.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this cheesecloth for making yoghurt at home?
Yes. Line a bowl or sieve with the cloth, pour in your yoghurt, gather the top and pull the drawstring, then let it drain to your preferred thickness for strained, Greek-style yoghurt.

Is it good for straining nut milk or soya milk?
It is. The fine weave separates the smooth milk from the pulp, and the drawstring lets you gather the cloth into a pouch and squeeze out every last drop.

Can I reuse it, or is it single-use?
It is fully reusable. Rinse it straight after use, wash it clean and let it dry, and it is ready for the next batch.

How do I clean it after making cheese or straining stock?
Rinse off the residue in cold water first, then wash in warm soapy water or with your other kitchen cloths, rinse well and hang to dry.

What size is it and what can I strain with it?
It measures 45×60cm – generous enough for cheese-making, nut milk, yoghurt, stock, sauces, jam and juice over a standard bowl or pot.
