Swedish Dishcloth - Halloween Witch Hats And Pumpkins

The Driftless Studio Swedish Dishcloth (SKU: 70337) in the Halloween Witch Hats and Pumpkins design is a highly absorbent, reusable cleaning cloth. This single-pack dishcloth features a festive pattern printed with durable, water-based inks on a sustainable material blend.

Material Composition and Physical Properties

• Dimensions: Measures 7⅞ inches by 6⅝ inches (approximately 20 cm x 17 cm).
• Composition: 70% natural cellulose (wood pulp) and 30% organic cotton, developed in Sweden in 1949.
• Texture: Stiff when dry, it softens within seconds upon contact with water.
• Absorbency: Absorbs up to 15 times its dry weight in liquid.

Performance and Surface Safety

This non-abrasive dishcloth is safe for delicate surfaces, including sealed granite, quartz, marble, stainless steel, glass, tile, and non-stick cookware, cleaning streak-free without lint. Its porous, open-cell structure dries faster than traditional sponges or microfiber, preventing bacteria-harboring moisture retention and odors.

Sanitation, Care, and Longevity

Each cloth replaces up to 17 rolls of paper towels and lasts 6 to 12 months under normal use.

• Washing: Machine washable (up to 190°F / 90°C) or top-rack dishwasher safe. Air dry.
• Sanitization: Boil for 1 to 2 minutes or microwave wet for 1 minute.
• Chemical Compatibility: Water-based inks resist fading from standard cleaners. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve absorption. Use oxygen-based bleach rather than chlorine bleach.

End-of-Life and Environmental Impact

Manufactured in Sweden, this dishcloth is 100% biodegradable and compostable, breaking down completely in backyard or municipal compost systems within 6 to 8 weeks.
