Our all-purpose, community-requested sponge cloths are cleaning overachievers and an all-natural substitute for paper towels and cleaning cloths—just rinse, dry, and repeat. Made in Sweden, they’re here In a whole spread of colors (so you’ve got one for every job), ready to take on counters, dishes, tiles, tubs, mirrors...every surface in sight.
A trusty eco-friend: Most sponges are made from plastic or other materials that are harmful to the environment. Our sponge cloths come from plant fibers and are printed with water-based ink, meaning they’ll decompose within six weeks in a home compost.
With twice the expertise: A cross between a paper towel and sponge, they’re designed to hold 16x their weight in water without crumbling, tearing, or pilling. When you’re through, just wring them out, let them dry, and watch them do it all over again the next day.
A world of uses: Sturdy natural fibers can hold up to the day’s cleaning agenda for way longer than your average sponge. Streak and lint-free, it'll spring into action up to 300 times before you’ll need a new one. Run it through the dishwasher, washing machine, or microwave, and it’s ready for a fresh start.
And a history of success: We scoured the globe looking for an all-natural sponge substitute—and then bumped into an iconic design. Our sponge cloth is inspired by the standby Scandinavians have been using for half a century. Coupled with your ideas (and designed to hide stains in a smart gray color), it’s better than ever.
