Long Gray 7 Pack Reusable Swedish Dishcloth, for Kitchen and Household Use, Super Absorbency, Made in Sweden, Cellulose Sponge Dish Cloths for Was...

I am very happy with these. I got them because of the extra length which allows me to fold them in half when cleaning my glass cook top. After rubbing the cook top with cleaning paste I just fold it over the other direction and whipe it down. My hand never touches the cleaning paste. Would love to give it a 5* rating but only got 4 towels.

so far a very good bargain----it's hard to tell life expectancy of these swedish dishcloths! alright, let me get to the nitty gritty! these swedish dish cloths are a very good buy, if they hold up to equal or greater the length of time of the original swedish dishcloths that i paid $6.00/ea! this set of dishcloths offers a wide variety of very colorful patterns, seemingly equal texture and structure of the dishcloths to the originals, lower price point, no smell once rinsed well in dish soap, they absorb moisture with utmost absorbency, they glide well on most surfaces! they are made in germany, designed in the usa, and packaged in china (p.r.c.)! they are recyclable, 70 % cellulose and 30 % cotton fabric, waterbased inks, machine washable, compostable, not safely machine dryable, petroleum-free, lay flat to air dry, no chlorine bleach, can use new lysol with peroxide base, bathroom and kitchen plus other uses! there was a ~ $4.00/ea difference in the price point which now i'm glad i tried the original for $6.00/ea to appreciate the savings from the purchase of these and find that you can save money and get a decent swedish dishcloth! now there is at least one concern though! i usually hate to buy food, drinks, cosmetics, rxs, and cloth type products from china! but, unfortunately usa, china, and any other countries are out to make a fast buck! let me explain, if you don't know this already! many foods, drinks, cosmetics, water, soap products, cloth products like clothing and bedding, and rxs in america and around the world are contaminated with deadly ingredients! so, in saying this, since these swedish dishcloths are processed in china despite them being produced in germany, designed in usa and smelling the same smell when unpackaging these and many products produced or packaged in usa or elsewhere, i feel that it's kinda unfair for me to assume that china is the only toxic inducing country with their less than stellar reputation! getting to the point, buyer beware of any and everything that you buy from anywhere! enough said, i still highly recommend these dishcloths for their wondrous factors or features mentioned above and hope to get a year wear like others have stated for the original swedish dishcloths!

These were the first Swedish dishcloths I've tried, and I absolutely love them! They're a great size for cleaning up messes and are much thicker than I expected, which is great and means they should last for quite some them. They're easy to wash in the washing machine or dishwasher and dry very quickly. Once they've been used for the first time, they do shrink slightly but swell back to their normal size when wet. They designs are really cute and make me happy when I use them to clean, and having 10 dishcloths means I have plenty to last me for a long while. They've definitely helped us cut down on paper towel use as well!

I use these more than any other cleaning tool. I have one in every bathroom and one in my kitchen, with extras for changing out. They launder well and seem very durable. I almost never use paper towels anymore, except for wiping toilets. And I don't have gross cellulose sponges hanging around my sink anymore. For dishes, I use a combination of these, a heavy scrub sponge, and a non-disposable plastic dish scrub. You can use a clean cloth every day if you want while throwing the dirty ones in the laundry basket. Or, you can keep them for 2-3 days, like I do. I just like that you have options! The difference between these and traditional dish cloths is that these absorb much more and dry much quicker. They are smaller, lighter, and much more hygenic. They also work better, as they have a textured side and I can always see what they pick up. Also, they are really cute and updated looking, unlike dish cloths. When they're new, they're stiff and flat. I actually set one up against a wall next to my sink and it looks like whimsical art. Once they're used or laundered, they shrink and look crumpled, especially after being laundered. But they're still cute and work well. I'll never be without these!
