I wrote this in chat, but for everyone else:

Kara explained that the cloths are made of."bamboo and come as off-white in colour"

That's fucking rayon. Nobody liked rayon so they rebranded it as bamboo, cause rayon a semi synthetic material made from shit like bamboo.

sure I could add vinegar to brighten them but it doesn't really bother me."

That's fucked up too. She needs to learn about color safe bleach at the very least, it's just stabilized hydrogen peroxide.
