Our custom Swedish Dishcloths from Three Bluebirds are made of 70% sustainably forested wood cellulose and 30% organic cotton. Our Swedish Dishcloth material is certified by international regulatory organizations to ensure a positive environmental impact. They are 100% natural, biodegradable, and are screen printed with water-based inks.

They replace sponges and paper towels:

• Each dishcloth replaces 17 rolls of paper towels (saving money and reducing waste).

• Absorbs 20x its weight.

• Is far more hygienic than a sponge and won’t crumble or pill.

• Is far sturdier than a paper towel and will not easily fall apart.

• Air dries quickly, so it doesn’t breed bacteria or smell.

To clean the dishcloths:

• Clean in washing machine or top rack of the dishwasher.

• Sterilize in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, or microwave when damp for approximately 1 minute.

• May be gently bleached on occasion.

• Squeeze out excess water and leave flat, drape over the faucet, or over the side of the sink to air dry.

• Three Bluebirds Swedish Dishcloths can be sterilized and reused up to 200 times!

What to avoid:

• Do not tumble dry in the dryer.

• Do not wring out (as this may cause dishcloth to become deformed).

• Be careful when cleaning knives, as this may cut the cloth.

Impact:

• Depending on use, these Dishcloths will last 6-12 months.

• They are 100% natural and biodegradable – so they will never be stuck in a landfill!

• The dishcloth will darken over time (but darkening itself does not impact its effectiveness.) The printing is water-based ink and may dissolve over time. You can retire your cloth when it has darkened and begins to disintegrate. Time to return it to the Earth!
