Swedish dish cloths are great eco cleaning items that do the work of a sponge and a paper towel. They are made out of all-natural ingredients ( unlike most sponges that are derived from petroleum-based materials!). Unlike sponges which last for one month, these dishcloths last up to 9-12 months. They also won’t smell! These thin cloths are super absorbent and can hold 17x their weight in liquid. Use them for cleaning dishes countertops, appliances, porcelain, and wood surfaces. They also come in beautiful prints which will get you excited for cleaning.
