If paper towels and plastic sponges had a baby, this would be it. Made from 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, Swedish dishcloths are machine washable and will last for years but are fully backyard-compostable at the end of their life. They're highly absorbent - they can hold 20 times their weight in liquid - and dry super fast so bacteria doesn't grow like it can on traditional plastic sponges.

Our full line of Swedish dishcloths are designed and printed in Seattle using water-based inks. Each collection is available as a set or as individual cloths.

💡 Learn more about Swedish dishcloths and why we absolutely ~adore~ them over on the blog!

5% of each Baja Swedish Dishcloth will be donated to Vermilion Sea Insititute.

What's the story with the designs?

These Swedish dishcloths were inspired by our ocean conservation partner, Vermilion Sea Institute. Each group that visits the VSI field station leaves a mural on the wall to commemorate their time at the station.

The quotes on these dishcloths are quotes left by students, scientists, and visitors to the field station, selected by our founder, Krystina, to be included in these designs - including one from her first visit to the station.

One of the most prominent pieces of research done through VSI is whale shark monitoring, so of course we had to include a whale shark in one design. The bench scene is the view from the cobblestone patio at the field station, and the mermaid was inspired by Krystina's first visit to VSI, and its executive director, Meghann.

Each print was designed in Portland, Oregon by Otter and Ink Designs, who receives a commission for each cloth sold.

To Use

Just like a sponge, wet your Swedish dishcloth, wring out excess water, and get down to cleaning.

Care

Wash your Swedish dishcloths with the rest of your laundry and hang dry. We prefer to lay them flat to dry or hang with clothespins so they dry flat. Or, pop your dishcloths in the dishwasher on the top rack for a quick wash and sanitize.

Packaging + End of Life

These Swedish dishcloths will either be completely unpackaged or wrapped in reused kraft paper. The kraft paper can be reused or curbside recycled. At the end of their life, cut up your Swedish dishcloths and toss in your backyard compost.

Origin

sustainable packaging

We ship ugly boxes

Our commitment to sustainability doesn't end when you press that checkout button.

We pack all of our orders in reused boxes and envelopes, with reused paper packaging, post-consumer recycled paper labels, and even paper tape.

You may not get an IG-worthy unboxing, but you will get the most sustainable packaging we can possibly find.

Oh and did we mention our shipping is always carbon negative?

Let's go to the real winner in my eyes. Honestly, I could have purchased this exact product many other places, but the packaging A Drop in the Ocean uses to ship will have me coming back time and time gain.
My first purchase from them was some floss a while ago and it arrived in a reused tea box with a hand written note that was written on scrap paper. I was blown away.
I had never seen a company who claimed to be sustainable ACTUALLY prove to be sustainable through and through. The fact that every piece of the packaging was reused and minimal will have me come back over and over again. If I can purchase it here, I will purchase it here.

Obsessed

I didn't even know what Swedish dishcloths were or that they existed before discovering them here. I bought a couple just to see what they were like and I'm in love. Holding them takes a bit of getting used to, but I love that I don't lose the later like you do in a regular sponge. They dry fast, and so far with regular use no bacteria buildup or sponge smell. Plus the prints are super cute. Definitely a convert.

This towel rocks!

I love purchasing with a purpose and this reusable towel does just that. It helps reduce waste while helping me clean in a responsible manner.

LOVE THESE

I switched to Swedish dish clothes a couple years ago and LOVE THEM! No more smelly sponges or other kinds of cloths. No more paper towels to wipe counters and quick spills. It just seems to be, not only sustainable, but a cleaner, this-makes-sense way to go!

A must have

Love the designs, and no zero waste home is complete without a swedish dishcloth. Works wonders on scrubbing and buffing counter tops, stove tops, ovens, and bathrooms. Love how easy it is to clean, and the fact you can compost them when they are no longer functional to you!

My go-to gift

Swedish Dishcloths are my go-to gift anytime of year and people rave about them. The holiday designs are super cute and a nice addition to every collection--my humble opinion: you can't have too many Swedish dishcloths. They're great in the kitchen and hold up really well.
