Swedish Dishcloth With a Scouring Corner

A Swedish dishcloth is a reusable cleaning cloth made from a natural blend of cellulose and cotton. It was first developed in Sweden in 1949 to offer a better way to clean. For its ability to absorb large spills and dry quickly without trapping odors, it quickly became a household favorite. Today, Swedish dishcloths are a favorite eco-friendly alternative to paper towels and sponges.

Why You’ll Love Our Swedish Dishcloths

Our Swedish dishcloths are packed with thoughtful features that make everyday cleaning faster, easier, and more sustainable. Each one is carefully designed to deliver real benefits you can see and feel - from protecting your surfaces to saving you money. Here’s a closer look at what sets them apart.

Gentle and Non-Abrasive

Harsh sponges and rough cloths can leave scratches on delicate surfaces, but ours never will. These Swedish dishcloths clean thoroughly without damaging your glass, granite, stainless steel, or polished finishes. They're soft to the touch but tough on dirt and give you the confidence to wipe down everything from mirrors to marble. Cleaning shouldn’t cause damage, and with these, it never will.

Why waste roll after roll of paper towels when one cloth can do it all? Each Swedish Dishcloth can replace dozens of disposable towels, saving you money and reducing landfill waste. It's strong enough to handle spills, wiping, scrubbing, and drying tasks without falling apart. Smarter cleaning starts with using less and getting more out of it.

Highly Absorbent

Don’t let spills slow you down. Our cloths are designed to soak up to 15× their weight in water, tackling big kitchen spills, bathroom splashes, and countertop messes in seconds. You’ll need fewer passes to clean up even the unwanted mistakes. It’s fast, efficient, and feels like having a super-powered sponge in your hand.

Easy to Clean and Quick to Dry

A dirty cloth doesn’t look good in a clean kitchen. And these dishcloths are machine washable, dishwasher safe, and designed to dry quickly in the air. After each use, simply rinse it out or add it to your regular wash. It dries fast and won’t trap mildew or odors like a typical sponge.

Reusable and Durable

Unlike disposable wipes or flimsy cloths, our Swedish Dishcloths are made to last. They withstand months of regular use without tearing, crumbling, or losing their strength. If you’re wiping counters, cleaning sinks, or drying dishes, they stay clean through it all. One cloth saves countless throwaways.

Plastic-Free and Biodegradable

Cleaning itself shouldn’t leave another mess behind, especially for the planet. Our cloths are made from 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, completely free from plastic and synthetic fibers. When their lifespan is finished, they compost naturally, breaking down without a trace.

How to Use a Swedish Dishcloth?

Using a Swedish Dishcloth is simple. Once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever cleaned without it. Just follow a few easy steps to get the most out of your cloth and keep them fresh for everyday use. Here’s how to use it the right way:

• Step 1: Wet and Soften the Cloth: Before the first use, run the cloth under water to soften it up. It will quickly become flexible, making it easy to clean any surface.
• Step 2: Tackle Everyday Messes: Wipe down kitchen counters, clean dishes, polish glass, or scrub sinks. The cloth is safe on delicate surfaces like mirrors, granite, and stainless steel, giving you a gentle but powerful clean.
• Step 3: Scrub Tougher Spots: For dried-on food or stubborn grime, use the built-in scouring corner. It lifts stuck messes without scratching or damaging your surfaces.
• Step 4: Rinse After Each Use: After you're done cleaning, rinse the cloth thoroughly to remove any dirt, soap, or residue. Gently squeeze out the extra water without wringing too hard.
• Step 5: Hang to Dry: Use the hanging loop to hang your cloth over a hook, faucet, or rack. Good airflow helps it dry quickly, stay fresh, and prevent odors between uses.

How to Care for Your Swedish Dishcloths?

Taking care of your Swedish Dishcloth is simple and helps it stay fresh and strong through months of use. After each time you clean, rinse the cloth thoroughly with warm water to remove any food, soap, or residue. 

Gently squeeze out the excess moisture without wringing it too hard, then hang it by the loop or drape it over a faucet to dry. Proper drying helps it stay crisp, fresh, and odor-free.

Every week or so, it’s a good idea to deep clean your cloth to keep them in top shape. You can toss it in with your regular laundry (just skip the fabric softener) or place it on the top rack of your dishwasher for a quick refresh. 

If you want an extra level of sanitizing, you can also boil the cloth in water for 1 - 2 minutes to kill any lingering bacteria. All of these methods will keep your cloth looking and feeling like new.

Here’s a list of things you can do for your dishcloths:

• Rinse thoroughly with warm water after each use
• Squeeze out excess moisture gently without wringing hard
• Hang by the loop or drape over a faucet to air dry
• Machine wash with regular laundry (avoid fabric softeners)
• Place on the top rack of the dishwasher for easy cleaning
• Boil in water for 1-2 minutes to sanitize if needed
• Always air dry to maintain cloth strength
