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.
Dimensions
6.75" x 7.5"
Material
70% cellulose, 30% cotton, water-based ink
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
Printed locally in Seattle, Washington.
Ethical Guarantees
Made in USA
Vegan
Washington-Local

Swedish Dishcloth // The PNW Collection
At first I just wanted to prop it up on the counter near the sink and enjoy it as an art form - very pretty! Then, I decided that was silly and started using it. Wow. I really like this product and will be purchasing more of them!!! A perfect cross between a sponge and a cloth - I am not sure I will go back!
