Swedish Dishcloth - Swedish Fika

The Citronelles Swedish Dishcloth - Swedish Fika (SKU 87191) is a reusable cleaning cloth engineered for household sanitization and spill management. Measuring 7⅞" x 6⅝", it serves as a sustainable alternative to paper towels and synthetic sponges. The design is printed with durable, water-based inks that resist fading and bleeding.

Material Composition and Surface Safety
Constructed from a blend of 70% natural cellulose and 30% organic cotton, the cloth absorbs up to 15 times its dry weight in liquid. This non-abrasive material is safe for delicate surfaces, including granite, marble, quartz, copper, stainless steel, and glass, leaving a streak-free finish. It is compatible with household chemical cleaners and diluted bleach.

Drying Dynamics and Odor Prevention
The cloth dries rapidly, minimizing moisture retention to prevent bacteria, mold, mildew, and sour odors. It becomes stiff when dry and softens immediately upon exposure to water, returning to a highly pliable, absorbent state.

Lifespan and Environmental Impact
With an operational lifespan of 6 to 12 months, a single cloth replaces up to 17 rolls of standard paper towels. The 100% organic, plastic-free composition is backyard-compostable, biodegrading within 6 to 8 weeks.

Cleaning and Sanitizing Methods
The cloth can be sanitized using several methods:

• Machine Washing: Safe for washing machines at high temperatures; air drying is recommended.
• Dishwasher Sanitizing: Place on the top rack during standard cycles.
• Microwave and Boiling: Microwave while thoroughly damp for 1 minute, or boil in water for 1 to 2 minutes.
