How to use one

Wet the cloth, wring it out and wipe. A dry Swedish dishcloth feels stiff, like card stock; once damp it turns soft and flexible. Rinse it after use and hang it over the faucet to dry. Read more in How to Use a Swedish Dishcloth.

Care

Wash it in the washing machine or in the dishwasher, then let it air dry. Skip fabric softener and the tumble dryer, so it stays absorbent and the print stays bright. With normal use, the print lasts around six months. Our complete care guide and how long Swedish dishcloths last explain more.
