To clean+sanitize:
To clean, run through the top rack of your dishwasher or toss in the washing machine. To sanitize, soak in boiling water for 1–2 minutes or microwave while damp for 30 seconds.

End of life:
Dishcloths last 3–6 months depending on use. Once worn out, cut up into smaller pieces and compost at home.

Swedish Dishcloths combine the strength of a sponge with the absorbency of a paper towel—minus the waste. Originally invented in Sweden in 1949, they’ve become a cult favorite for low-waste living, and for good reason.

The quick-drying texture prevents bacteria and mildew buildup, while the textured surface gets into every nook and cranny without falling apart. They clean beautifully with water alone, or pair easily with soap or your favorite non-toxic spray cleaner.

Our dishcloths are screen printed with water-based inks and made only from natural materials, meaning they return to the earth when composted. Unlike microfiber cloths, they contain no plastic or synthetics—just plant-based performance that’s easy on your skin and the planet.
