Scandinavian forests are filled with birch trees, which inspired our Swedish Dishcloths with Birch Bark design. This marvelously absorbant Swedish Dishcloth is a wonder in the kitchen. You'll never want to go back to sponges or regular dishcloths when you see how it works for yourself. Made of earth-friendly odor-resistant materials, 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, these Scandinavian dishcloths are durable (just wash it in your washing machine or top rack of dishwasher). These cellulose dishcloths soften when wet and wash and dry like a dream - they absorb 16 times their weight and once wrung out, the cloth will quick dry.
