I have never bought paper towels and yet somehow there are no pools of water or food spills in our home. These swedish dish cloths are amazing. Before I found these, I used rags or cloth dishrags and threw them in with the laundry. Paper towels are unnecessary.
different companies. Check pricing, along with reviews and what it's made of. Should say made in Sweden, I don't think you need to pay more than around $2.00 per cloth, some have cute designs on Amazon, but can cost $3-$4 each....too much. They have 10 packs for about $15.00.
Absolutely! I like mine better as a wiper for the counter but lots of customers like them as dishcloths. This could be because most of my dishes go in the dishwasher so I don't use a cloth often. And yes, they do resist bacteria which leads to mildew. Just let them air-dry. Hope this helps!
Just came across this because I was trying to find out how to get rid of the bad smell from my Swedish dish cloth. No idea they were called that by the way, I live in Sweden and I thought everyone used them haha. Anyway, they are definitely not mildew resistant. They usually start smelling after a while and need to be replaced every 3 weeks to a month.
@@frndusbambulius1709 These are great. here is a link to the inventors & how to care for the cloths. I hope that helps! th-cam.com/video/riLgHOmTLzE/w-d-xo.html
@@frndusbambulius1709 No , if you wash them regulary you can use them up to several months. It´ss a common misunderstanding in Sweden that you have to throw them away. Wash them and when they do throw them remember that they are compostable!
@@frndusbambulius1709 we soak them in hot water and Vinegar... (#Swede here.) I was looking for where to buy them in NAmerica and ended up here... ended up finding I can get them at IKEA. :) I had NO IDEA this wasn't a global occurance.... call me uneducated, I'm sorry, I thought this was a global think... Now I'll remember to pack some for gifts when visiting friends abroad...

@@Arnstrands sometimes the cat may 'barf', and I don't feel like rinsing that into my sink, so I'll grab a paper towel and just toss.
what kind of fabric is it? is it possible to make them?
Great video, thanks!
Who makes them?
Most of our Swedish dishcloths are imported by Danica, a Canadian supplier, who imports them from Sweden.
Just get them at IKEA for a few bucks... ;)

Can you use these to scrub dishes? And are they mildew resistant?
