What's a Swedish Dishcloth?

The original Swedish dishcloth material was invented by a Swedish engineer in 1949. Three Bluebirds dishcloths are made with this same material: 70% wood cellulose from FSC certified forests and 30% cotton.

All of our patterns are designed and screen printed in Connecticut, USA.  

                                     

• 3,000 tons of paper towels end up in our country’s landfills every day.                                                   One Swedish Dishcloth replaces 17 rolls of paper towels.
• It absorbs 20x its weight.
• It is far more hygienic than a sponge and won’t crumble or pill.
• It air dries quickly, so it doesn’t breed bacteria or smell.  

• Perfect for household chores, from cleaning up spills to polishing.
• Can be used with just water, soap, or cleaners.
• Cleans counter tops, granite, stainless steel and glass.                      
• Cleans virtually streak-free.

• It can be cleaned in the washing machine or in the top rack of the dishwasher.                                        
• It can also be boiled or microwaved (when damp) for one minute.                     
• Hang over the faucet or lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry.

• It is 100% natural and printed with water based inks.
• You can even compost it!
