Are Swedish Dishcloths Worth It?

Are Swedish Dishcloths Worth It?

When it comes to saving money on paper towels, you may have already heard about Swedish dishcloths. Unlike traditional sponges, this kitchen hero can absorb 20 times its weight in water and dry out much more quickly than other cleaning tools. So on our list of the best dishwashing products, they’re also included.

In 1949, a Swedish inventor came up with the initial dishcloth material. In their dishcloths, Swedes use the same substance: 70 percent wood cellulose and 30 percent cotton from FSC-certified forests. We develop and screen print all of our designs in Connecticut, the United States.

Benefits of Swedish Dishcloth

Our favorite home cleansers and water are good candidates for a Swedish dishcloth. Looking for a chemical-free alternative? You’ve found it!

Afterward, let the dishcloth air dry entirely before repurposing it once again. You may hang your Swedish dishcloth if you have a drying rack.
