World's Best Swedish dishcloth

The Swedish dishcloth is the quiet hero of an eco-friendly kitchen. Made from cotton and cellulose fibres, it's stiff when dry and turns soft and flexible as soon as it gets wet. It holds up to 20 times its weight in water, making it perfect for wiping counters, cleaning up spills or washing dishes.

According to the manufacturer, one cloth can replace up to 15 rolls of paper towel. That means less paper in the trash, less packaging and a lighter kitchen routine for the planet.

It resists odours and dries quickly. Available individually or in a 3-pack, in printed designs or solid colours (assorted colours and designs). Size: 17 x 19.5 cm (6.75 x 7.75 in).

How to use

Wet the cloth, wring it out, then use it like a dishcloth or a sponge: counters, tables, sinks, dishes and small spills. After use, rinse it well, wring it out and let it dry flat or hanging.

Audrey's tip, naturopath, also known as La Naturo Imparfaite

At home, I assign one colour per task: one for dishes, one for counters, one for messier spills. That way, nobody wonders which cloth was used for what. And I always let it dry fully spread out between uses, it lasts much longer.
