Eco-friendly super absorbent Swedish dish cloths are 100% biodegradable. Design and style meet functionality and suitability. Transform your cleaning routine with eco dishcloths, reusable cellulose sponges and cotton dishcloths, replacing single-use paper towels and plastic sponges.
- Saving you money replaces single-use paper towels. Our eco dishwashing cloths are 100% biodegradable; you can use one cloth over 150 times. Simply rinse and wash, air dry and reuse it again and again.
- Buying our 3 pack of eco cloths means you can choose the print you love and colour code your cleaning tasks! You save on the cost per cloth, you save time on reordering and shipping, and you do your bit to save our planet by reducing waste going to landfills.
- Reusable super absorbent eco sponge cloths will absorb 20 times their weight and replace 17 rolls of paper towels, plastic sponges, and nylon microfibre cloths, which are not generally recyclable or biodegradable. Happy days!
- Original Print designs on the Dishcloths are inspired by the vegetable garden at home on Waiheke Island, New Zealand and what we can grow in this little patch of earth.

How to care for your eco sponge cloth:
- The dishcloths are made from natural materials, so they will shrink and expand, changing size
- Machine washable - Washing machine or dishwasher
- To sterilise, pop damp in the microwave for 20 seconds or use a soaker and hot water
- Do not Tumble dry
- Air dry
- Excessive rubbing or wringing of the dishcloth can damage the natural ink used in printing, so take care
PRO eco cleaning tips:
- Colour code your cleaning chores - bathroom one colour cloth, kitchen another colour cloth and so on.
- Perfect cleaning cloth for any type of surface, from an indoor plant's leaves, wiping down mirrors and windows or the bathtub to your benchtop in the kitchen and kitchen appliances and washing dishes.
- Use the eco sponge cloth as a damp, non-scratch polishing cloth; it dries and cleans shiny surfaces streak-free and lint-free.
- For best polishing results, wet cloth and squeeze out excess water. Wipe over spills and residue in a circular direction.
- If the surface is wet, use the cloth dry to mop up the liquid or spill.
- Non-Scratch cloth can be used to wipe down the interior of the car, clean chrome and as a shammy for the windows.

Customer Reviews
I had been using microfiber dishcloths but Swedish dish clothes are significantly superior! Super absorbent, dries quickly, never smells. And I can toss in the compost when done with it.
I most definitely tossed in the washing machine and dryer before I read to put them in the dishwasher. I use heat dry. So now, I will just wash in the kitchen sink and hang to dry. Easy enough.
The first cloth of the pack lasted me 10 weeks. It didn't ever shred little bits which I was pleased about. I probably could have easily got another couple of weeks use from it but it was beginning to look a little bit shabbly. Previously I've bought cellulose cloths from the supermarket that maybe have a similar fabric but obviously aren't! One of the supermarket cloths would last me 2 weeks by which time it would be shedding little bits all over the place, so annoying. I soaked the EKOH swedish cloth in some hot water with wahing powder a couple of times and ran it through the washing machine once a week; this kept it looking nice and clean and fresh.It dries super fast. The 3 pack is much more expensive than a pack of supermarket cloths but by my reckoning will end up being cheaper in the long run and the prints are soooooo much better!
I have 2 cloths in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. I use the bathroom cloth to wipe down my basin and mirrors - fantastic clean result and don't have to wipe multiple times either. I also bought a pack for a friend for Christmas.
Great quality. Tough and absorbent. Washed regularly keeps them looking fresh. Attractive designs which do not fade after frequent use
Thanks for the great review Heather. We love hearing from our EKOH warriors :)
