Unbleaced cotton muslin vs cheesecloth applications

Among the many of the queries that customers ask is: “What is the difference between cheesecloth and unbleached cotton (muslin)?”
The similarities are obvious in that they both have open weaves and are inexpensive materials. The differences are that cheesecloth is lint free. This is of particular importance when the application is for dusting and cleaning the furniture or glass or for steaming straining and poaching. Unbleached cotton is more serviceable for the sewing industry not for the food or household care industry as it will leave lint and may have some imperfections in the weave. We recommend using the unbleached cotton muslin for sewing and pattern making and for backing of craft projects.
