Swedish Dishcloth - Dalahorse & Leaves

The Citronelles Swedish Dishcloth - Dalahorse & Leaves - is a reusable, highly absorbent cleaning cloth designed to replace traditional paper towels and sponges, representing a staple of authentic scandinavian homewares.

Material Composition and Surface Safety

Measuring 7 7/8 inches by 6 5/8 inches (180 mm x 200 mm), the cloth consists of 70% natural wood cellulose and 30% organic cotton. The Dalahorse & Leaves motif features water-based inks. When wet, the non-abrasive fibers soften instantly, ensuring scratch-free cleaning on delicate surfaces, including granite, glass cooktops, and stainless steel.

Performance and Chemical Compatibility

The cloth absorbs up to 15 times its dry weight in liquid, allowing a single cloth to replace up to 17 rolls of standard paper towels. It maintains its structural integrity when used with standard household cleaners, diluted bleach, or mild disinfectants.

Hygiene, Odor Prevention, and Sanitization

The natural fiber blend dries rapidly to prevent bacterial growth and odors. The cloth is compatible with multiple sanitization methods:

• Dishwasher: Place flat on the top rack.
• Washing Machine: Wash with standard laundry loads up to 200 times.
• Microwave: Heat the thoroughly wet cloth on high for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Boiling: Submerge in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes.

Lifespan and End-of-Life Biodegradability

With a functional lifespan of 6 to 12 months, the 100% organic construction is fully biodegradable, decomposing in composting systems within 8 to 12 weeks. This product is an excellent addition to any collection of swedish dishcloths and sustainable scandinavian homewares | gifts ....
