A Swedish dishcloth is a reusable cleaning tool composed of cellulose and cotton fibers. Its primary function is to absorb liquids and wipe surfaces, functioning as a sustainable alternative to paper towels. For instance, it can be used to wipe down countertops, clean spills, or dry dishes.
The ecological advantage of this type of cloth stems from its biodegradability and reusability, reducing paper waste. Its high absorbency and durable nature provide effective cleaning while minimizing environmental impact. Originating in Sweden, these cloths have gained international recognition for their utility and sustainability.
