Swedish Dishcloths for Kitchen Grey 10 Pack Reusable Compostable Kitchen Cloth Made in Sweden Cellulose Sponge Swedish Dish Cloths for Washing Dishes Reusable Paper Towels Washable

These are re usable, very moisture wicking and versatile. And a bunch came in a pack and tgey are cheap

I ordered a set of these because I keep reading how Swedish dishcloths are ... the thing to use, I guess. Now that I have them, I dont know what all the hoopla is about. How are they superior to my terrycloth dishcloth? Theyre really just a really thin sponge. They work fine, but so did my dishcloths.

I like that they last way more longer than a cheaper one. Two month of using and it s looks great, I wash it and it does not smell.

These are great! They are durable, absorbent and wear very well. They are a little small for a dishcloth but still like them. I have washed them in hot water with bath towels several times and they hardly show any wear. I do not put them in the dryer, I line dry them, they dry pretty quickly.

Love the Swedish dish cloths. Love the flexibility of these for cleaning the kitchen. Will definitely buy again.

These are great! Im a convert and have given some to my daughter. She loves them, too! They are super absorbent, durable, and actually clean up my muddy, sticky grandson better than regular facecloths! So many reasons to have these I cant name them all....and will likely find more. Really great purchase!

I’ve been an avid paper towel user for YEARS because cloths gross me out, but we do have a lot of counters and I clean them multiple times a day so our paper towel usage was both expensive and wasteful. After trying multiple kinds of cloths, bar mops, semi disposable options Etc, I came across these and figured I’d give them a shot but didn’t really have high expectations. Once I figured out the best way to make them work for me, it was a game changer. I have two out at all times and the key for me has been storing them in the dishwasher (see pic). We use them, rinse them and hang them right back on the dishwasher rack where they stay until the next use and also through our nightly dishwasher cycle where they are cleaned. They do need to be rung out after the dishwasher cycle. They harden when they dry, so you need to soften them by wetting them, but in my dishwasher they stay soft for the full day after the first use. Hanging them over the dishwasher rack means they aren’t lying in the sink or getting nasty on a counter and I don’t have to see them out hanging somewhere, plus with the nightly dishwasher cycle they’ve remained completely smell free which was my issue with using cloths in the past. These are thick when damp and decently absorbent. I use them with a homemade cleaning spray (rubbing alcohol, a couple drops of Dawn dishwashing soap and water in a spray bottle). I am still on my first two since opening the pack because they’ve remained clean and non stinky with the dishwasher storage and washing. When they wear out, I’ll toss them and pull out two new ones from the pack. Paper towel is still more convenient because you don’t have to rinse it out, wash it Etc, so these do take a minute of extra care, but Overall I’m pleased to finally have a greener and cheaper alternative to our mass paper towel usage.

Loved how absorbent these cloths were and so easy to clean! Would highly recommend.

First, this is called a dishcloth. It is similar to a dishcloth in absolutely no way. A dishcloth is flexible; this is either stiff like cardboard when dry or soggy and floppy. A dishcloth is large; this is a little rectangle, about half the size of a sheet of letter paper. A dishcloth is absorbent; this can absorb some water-based liquids and then will spread the rest around; it is a weak performer at absorbing oil-based and other spills. A dishcloth lasts for years; this supposedly lasts through multiple washings but not for decades like my good dishcloths. A really great cloth for cleaning up messes, if you want to be kinder to the planet than the paper towel hog, is called a rag. When I grew up, we used old clothes, towels and linens that could no longer be mended. These were laundered separately and reused. We didnt import sponges from Europe and call them cloth. Second, this does not replace rags or paper towels for spills. Imagine the cat tips over a fishy bowl of food. You reach for one of these hard little rectangles. It was not evident to me until after purchase that these cannot be used as is, like a dishcloth would be. You have to go to the sink and wet it, then wring it out, while the spill is dribbling from the counter to the floor, then the best you can achieve is to push the mess around a bit. The rectangle isnt big enough to scoop up anything and isnt absorbent enough to clear away the mess. Dont get me wrong, I am big on saving paper. I use dishcloths (REAL ones) for absorbing clean water, like drying dishes. I have a separate one for drying hands while cooking. I have a two-stage sponge plan for messes, one to get the majority of the mess and the second to clean up after the first. I do have paper towels and use those multiple times. If they are merely wet, say from cleaning a mirror, I let them dry and use them again for progressively dirty jobs, until they are thrown away. If something is spreading across the counter and dribbling and needs to be picked up quickly, good luck using one of these Swedish dishcloths. This brings me to a gripe about squandering the equity in the reputation of Sweden and, in particular, Swedish dishcloths. I happen to have studied Swedish looms and weaving. Swedish housewives were known to produce heirloom quality woven household items for their trousseau. To me the words Swedish in the name of the product and dishcloth are akin to Swiss watch. The best. So, these are not dishcloths and surely not Swedish dishcloths. The instructions say to wash these in the dishwasher or washing machine. Can you imagine that a dishwasher will really clean a stinky mess out of a sponge (which is what these really are, next point)? More likely, it will absorb oily and smelly substances from the dishes and spread them around the next time you use one of these to try to clean up. About sponges, that is what this is, exactly. You can get these in the grocery store for a tiny fraction of the rip-off cost of these. They are also made of wood pulp but do not have the pretentious and oh-so-precious claims of the pure Swedish woods aka tree farms. I was stupid, really stupid. I saw CNN touting these for a couple of months and finally decided to investigate them. They made it sound like anyone stupid enough to buy paper towels was destroying the environment instead of being really enlightened and, um, Scandinavian ... blue eyes, blonde hair, pure Aryans, definitely no Asians, whom we have characterized racially as enemies and whom bigots suggest when they boast that something is made in America. With such an unbelievably high price, I assumed they must be worth it, so I took the bait, not realizing Id be getting something identical to the flat sponges I got from the grocery store and rarely use. I really hate the misleading hype, so am suspicious about everything written on the package. A card with a font made to look like handwriting thanked me for supporting a small family business. Am I supposed to picture these blonde, blue-eyed, pure-at-heart Swedes making dishcloths in the family room by the fireside? Okay, a factory that is family owned. A lot of big businesses are small family owned. Small is the adjective modifying family, not business. Nothing like the small family businesses youd find on Etsy, for example, the unemployed husband in the basement crafting clothes hooks out of tree branches, the wife upstairs handling business accounts and correspondence from the kitchen table, the home-schooled children handling the packing and shipping. I happen to have wonderful dishcloths that I love using, some great sponges, rags like old T-shirts, and, yes, paper towels that I ration out only when absolutely prudent. What I dont have is this package of outrageously overpriced little cardboard sponges. Returned.

I was expecting some nice waffle type dish clothes. These arrive hard and stuff and after getting wet they do feel like a bunch of paper towels squished together. I was really concerned about this but gave them a try. So glad I did! These clean everything great, they dont have any plastic so they wont scratch delicate thing and the absorption is hard to beat! I spilled a fresh cup of coffee all over my counter and floor. I grabbed my towel I was using and it absorbed it right up. It would have taken a couple bath towels to clean up my mess. Seriously, how can 6oz spread that far! I was able to ring it out, rinse it and use it over again until the mess was cleaned up. They dry out fast so you can use them for a couple days in a row. The big test for me was washing. I wash all my towels in hot water along with a sanitizer in the rinse cycle and air dried them. They came out good as new! Yes they will eventually need to be replaced but its so much better for the environment!
