One small cloth quietly takes over from the sponge, the paper towel and the old dishcloth. The Swedish Dish Cloth is an ultra-absorbent, reusable cleaning cloth made from 70% wood cellulose and 30% cotton. Designed in Sweden and loved around the world, it is a reusable alternative to sponges, paper towels and traditional dishcloths, and you will find more swaps like it in our eco-friendly collection.

Each cloth absorbs up to 15x its weight in water and dries quickly, making it ideal for mopping up spills, drying dishes, wiping countertops, and polishing surfaces streak-free. Naturally odour resistant and safe for use on granite, stainless steel, glass, and more.

Durable enough to be machine washed or disinfected in the microwave, yet gentle on surfaces. Once it reaches the end of its life, it can go in the compost.

How to Use

Simply dampen the cloth with water to soften, then use it as you would a paper towel or sponge. Rinse and air dry after each use. For a deep clean, microwave for 30 seconds (use caution when removing), or wash on a gentle cycle or in the dishwasher's top rack.

Shipped Folded

To keep packaging to a minimum, dishcloths may be shipped folded. Just wet the cloth and the crease will disappear.

A few in mixed colours make an easy, useful housewarming gift. Find more in our gift ideas for the home, or browse our cleaning and laundry range.
