Have you never heard of a Swedish dishcloth? Well, let me tell you about the most amazing product for your kitchen!

A Swedish dishcloth is like a cross between an absorbent sponge and very strong paper towel. The cloth is thin and about the size of a typical dishcloth which is around 6 inches by 8 inches.

Regular dishcloths are typically made from cotton, but a Swedish dishcloth is made using a mixture of cellulose and cotton which allows it to be much more absorbent than a typical kitchen cloth.

Swedish dishcloths are durable and able to absorb 15 times their own weight. One side of the cloth is for cleaning up liquids while the other is for scrubbing. They leave kitchen and bathroom surfaces virtually streak free.

Swedish dishcloths are not new. They have been around since the 1950s in Sweden and have been extremely popular in Europe for decades. They have just recently gained popularity in the United States.

The advantages of using a Swedish dishcloth over a paper towel or ordinary kitchen cloth is how absorbent and versatile they are. You can expect Swedish dishcloths to last about nine to twelve months which is about 200 to 300 washes. In addition, they dry fast which actually prevent bacteria from growing on the cloth.

Swedish dishcloths are easy to clean too. Just rinse on the top rack of the dishwasher or in the washing machine and then air dry. They can also be boiled or microwaved if you need it sanitized.

For the eco-conscious person, each Swedish dishcloth can do the work of approximately 17 rolls of paper towels saving trees and landfill space. The best part is the dishcloths are made from Earth-friendly cellulose and cotton making them biodegradable. Even the pattern is printed using water-based inks.
