Know before you buy
These cloths are safe for almost any hard surface, including granite, stainless steel, glass, and laminate. Because they are soft and non-abrasive, they effectively clean without leaving scratches.
You can wash them in the dishwasher on the top rack or in the washing machine with your regular laundry. To sanitize, simply microwave the damp cloth for one minute or boil it in water.
One Swedish dishcloth can replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels. They are significantly more absorbent and durable, allowing you to wring them out and reuse them repeatedly rather than discarding them after a single wipe.
Because they dry very quickly, they are much less prone to harboring bacteria and odors than traditional cotton sponges or thick dish rags. Keeping them rinsed and allowing them to air dry between uses will keep them fresh.
The most effective method is to hang the cloth over a faucet or lay it flat on a drying rack. They air dry rapidly, which prevents the buildup of mildew.
Yes, because they are made from 100% natural wood pulp cellulose and cotton fibers, they are fully biodegradable. Once they reach the end of their 200-wash lifespan, you can safely add them to your home compost bin.
