Know before you buy
Each Swedish dishcloth is designed to replace approximately 17 rolls of paper towels. Because it is durable enough to be washed up to 200 times, it provides a long-term, sustainable alternative for daily cleanup tasks.
You can easily clean the cloth by placing it in the top rack of your dishwasher or running it through a standard laundry cycle. To sanitize, you can also boil it briefly or dampen it and microwave it for one minute while wet.
No, the cellulose and cotton blend is designed to wipe surfaces clean without leaving behind lint or streaks. It is highly effective on glass, stainless steel, and countertops.
You will know it is time to replace your cloth when it begins to fray or lose its structural integrity after repeated washings. Since the material is 100% biodegradable, you can simply compost it in your home garden or bin once it is worn out.
Unlike traditional sponges that trap moisture and bacteria, this dishcloth is designed to air dry very quickly. This rapid drying process prevents the growth of bacteria and keeps the cloth smelling fresh between uses.
