Swedish Dishcloth/Sponge Cloth, Knitted on Dark Color, Dark Turquoise

THE SWEDISH ECO-FRIENDLY DISHCLOTH: The dry sponge cloth was invented in 1949 by the Swedish engineer Curt Lindquist, who discovered that a mixture of natural cellulose (wood pulp) and cotton can absorb an incredible 15 times its own weight in water.

These thin Swedish dishcloths have had a presence in most Scandinavian homes since then. They make a great alternative to paper towels for general wiping up and light cleaning and are perfect for homes, cottages, kitchens and bathrooms. When they become wet, they are very soft and they also dry very quickly.

Machine washable at 140 degrees F and reusable. When they are ready for disposal, simply toss in your compost heap. When new wash separately or with darks. May also wash in dishwasher.
Our sponge cloth is made in Europe. These sponge cloths are hand dyed in Finland with water-based, earth-friendly textile dye. Then printed with water-based ink.
