Swedish Dishcloths

Paper towels are expensive, wasteful, and not particularly good at their job. One Swedish Dishcloth replaces up to 17 rolls. Absorbs 20x its weight, dries fast so it doesn’t develop odor, and composts completely at end of life. Machine washable, lint-free on glass and granite, works on every surface. Cellulose and cotton. That’s it.

One cloth replaces up to 17 rolls of paper towels.

PERFORMANCE

• Absorbs 20x its weight in liquid

• Lint-free on glass, granite, stainless steel, and tile

• Cleans surfaces without leaving residue or scratching

• Safe on all hard surfaces including marble

 DURABILITY

• Machine washable up to 50 times

• Top rack dishwasher safe

• Air dry only (tumble drying breaks own fibers)

• Lasts 2-3 months of daily use

 SPECS

• 8” x 7” per cloth

• Solid black cloth arrives slightly smaller, but develops to full size when wet

• 5 cloths per pack

•Available in multiple patterns

Rinse under water before first use. It will feel stiff. That’s the cellulose. Once wet, it softens immediately.

DAILY USE

• Use damp for countertops, dishes, spills, stovetops, and appliances.

• Rinse after use, wring out, and lay flat or hang to dry.

• Don’t leave it balled up. Quick drying is what keeps it fresh.

CLEANING

• Machine wash with regular laundry. No fabric softener.

• Or place on the top rack of your dishwasher.

• Air dry flat. Do not tumble dry. Heat breaks down the fibers and causes shrinking.

WHEN TO REPLACE

When the cloth starts to thin or lose absorption. Typically 2-3 months of regular use.

Two materials. Nothing else.

WHAT IT’S MADE OF 

70% Cellulose (wood pulp) Provides the absorption and quick-drying structure. Cellulose dries fast, so odor doesn’t develop between uses. This is the same reason sponges smell and dishcloths don’t: sponges stay wet, cellulose doesn’t. 

30% Cotton Adds softness and flexibility. Without it, the cloth would be stiff even when wet.

Printed with OEKO-TEX certified,
water-based inks. Fully biodegradable. 

WHAT’S NOT IN IT

No synthetic fibers No polyester, no nylon, no plastic blends. The cloth is 100% plant-based, so no microplastics shed during use or at end of life.

No added treatments. The prints use OEKO-TEX certified water-based inks. The odor resistance comes from how fast the material dries, not a chemical additive.

END OF LIFE

When a cloth wears out, toss it in your home compost. The cellulose and cotton break down completely in 6-8 weeks. Within a landfill, the cloth breaks down in 10-12 weeks.

DURING USE

No microplastics shed during use or breakdown. The cloth is 100% plant based fiber, so nothing synthetic enters the water when you rinse or wash it.

PACKAGING

Recyclable cardboard.

Replaces, not supplements

This isn’t a specialty tool. It does everything paper towels do: dishes, counters, spills, glass. One cloth handles the job a fistful of paper towels can’t.

Soak up a full spill, rinse, wring, go again. Paper towels get one shot.
