Printed Swedish Dishcloths (5-Pack, Cellulose-Cotton)

The oldest job description a household ever received is in Genesis: to tend and to keep. (Genesis 2:15) These cloths are small tools for the keeping. Each one is woven from cellulose and cotton, drinks up spills like a sponge, and takes the place of roll after roll of paper towels. Wipe the counter, wring it out, hang it to dry. That is the whole routine.

Why it lasts

• Set of five, each with its own printed design
• Absorbs many times its weight in water
• Rinses clean; freshen it in the top rack of the dishwasher
• Compostable at the end of its long service

Care

Rinse well after use and hang to dry. When it finally retires, the cellulose and cotton can go to compost with a clear conscience.
