number4

Disposing of Cloths

When a dishcloth reaches the end of its lifespan, it can be composted.

The natural blend of cellulose and cotton materials will biodegrade in as little as 8 weeks* under ideal conditions.

A warm, damp environment with sufficient oxygen and diverse microbial activity helps improve biodegradability.

These environmental factors can influence how long it takes the cloth to degrade.

*Tested by an external institute in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11721-2:2003 and EN ISO 846.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to your questions about our Swedish Dishcloths below. Still have questions? Our customer service is here to answer them!

Swedish dishcloths are durable cleaning cloths with many different uses. They are a spongy, reusable alternative to traditional paper towels.

Each cloth is made from a blend of natural materials – 70% cotton and 30% cellulose. This blend creates a sturdy and absorbent cloth that can take the place of paper towels, standard kitchen sponges, and dish towels.

Our dishcloths are safe to use on any surfaces including:

  • Countertops
  • Appliances
  • Dishes & Kitchenware
  • Glass
  • Mirrors & Windows
  • Marble & Stone
  • Wood
  • Tile & More

Between uses, we recommend thoroughly rinsing the cloth, wringing it out, then hanging it to dry.

To fully wash these dishcloths, there are 3 different methods that you can use:

Washing Machine: To clean in a washing machine, run the cloths on a gentle wash cycle with similar colors. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.

Dishwasher: You can put Swedish dishcloths on the top rack and run them with your dishes on a normal wash cycle.

Boil/Microwave: Boil a pot of water and place the cloth inside. Or you can pour a bowl of water and place the cloth in it, then microwave. We recommend boiling or microwaving the cloth for about 3 minutes.

The best way to prevent odors from forming on Swedish dishcloths is to rinse them, wring them out, and hang them up to dry between uses. You can hang them over your faucet spout, the edge of your sink, or on a sink caddy.

Although Swedish dishcloths dry quickly and have some natural odor-resistant properties, leaving them wet between uses can cause odors.

Yes! The 70% cotton 30% cellulose materials are biodegradable in as little as 8 weeks* in an ideal environment.

Environmental conditions play a large factor in how quickly the dishcloths will biodegrade.

For composting, warm, moist areas with adequate oxygen supply can help improve the biodegradability. The existing microbial environment in your compost can also affect how quickly the cloth breaks down.

*Tested by an external institute in accordance with DIN EN ISO 11721-2:2003 and EN ISO 846.

    I actually used one of these on my bathroom mirror with just water and it worked better than Windex. Totally streak free.

    Saved my glass stovetop

    Dennis

    I had some burnt on sugar and milk on my induction range. I let a wet cloth sit over the spot for ten minutes to soften it up, and then used the corner of the cloth to scrub it away. It has just enough texture to grab the gunk without scratching the glass.

    Horrible and terrible

    Ibrahim

    I have no words, I’m so frustrated that this literally did nothing to improve my cleaning abilities. They are marketed to be magic, but they are not better than everyday paper towels or washcloths. Will not buy again

    They store flat in the drawer when dry, which is way better than a bulky stack of towels.

    Toddler vs. Juice

    Doggolover

    If you have a two year old, you know that a spill is never just a few drops; it’s usually an entire 10oz sippy cup of apple juice. I used to go through a quarter roll of Bounty for one mess. One Swedish cloth soaked up the entire puddle in two passes. It’s like a shammy but for your kitchen floor. I just wring it out and the floor is dry, not sticky.
