Swedish Dishcloth Set of 3 - Zero-waste, Biodegradable, Plastic-free, Reusable, Home Compostable

Description

The Swedish dishcloth, A.K.A "sponge cloth", is the ultimate dish sponge and paper towel replacement! Clean or dry your counters, appliances, dishes, or (if you're like me) your kiddos hands with these zero-waste reusable dishcloths. In fact, each cloth can soak up to 15 times its weight in liquid! That's almost 3/4 cup of water per cloth! They are made of 100% natural, non-toxic, plant materials and are naturally antibacterial, so no more stinky dishcloth smell! Since these clothes are made from all natural plant materials, they can be home composted! 

This comes in a set of 3 dishcloths: the Barred Owl, the Manatee, and the Gopher Tortoise dishcloth. 

Your impact

Each of these dishcloths can save up to 20 rolls of paper towels. That means less materials in our landfills, less deforestation, and less wasteful water use! To put things into perspective, just in North America, over 50,000 trees and 60,000,000 gallons of water are used EACH DAY to make paper towels. Now you can imagine how 1/3 of our landfills are made up of paper products. 

How to use/end of life

Clean up large spills by placing a dry towel on top of the liquid. Allow it to soak up the liquid by slowly moving the cloth in the wet area. For wiping up dirty counters, dampen the cloth and wipe the counters with or without an all-purpose spray or soap.

After use, ring out and hang these dishcloths to dry after each use to prevent mold build up. But not to worry if you forget, simply throw it in the washer or on the top rack of your dishwasher for a quick clean! Although each cloth can last up to a year, it's normal for them to eventually break down or loose some absorbency. Once you're ready to replace your dishcloths, throw them into your compost or bury them in the garden to break down naturally!
