The Original Swedish Dishcloth for Kitchen 10 Pack | Reusable Paper Towels, Super Absorbent Sponge Cloths, Washable Dish Cloths, Biodegradable, Made in Sweden, Assorted Colors

These cloths are perfect for my household cleaning. I use in the kitchen because I seem to get water everywhere around the kitchen sink and they are a great size, super soft like a cloth when wet, just wring out and they absorb spills and water like a sponge. They have fun colors and the price is a great value for 10 cloths. They are reusable and last a long time. You can machine wash but I choose not to because they do not mildew and I just rinse them with cold water after use and let them dry.

These Wettex Swedish dishcloths are pure kitchen magic. One cloth absorbs an insane amount of liquid, easily handling a full glass of spilled water with zero drips. They replace paper towels and nasty sponges completely and stay fresh because they dry so quickly. I throw them in the washing machine or dishwasher whenever they need refreshing, and they come out perfect every time. I use them for wiping counters, cleaning windows streak-free, scrubbing dishes, and even as quick trivets for hot pots. After months of constant use, they still look brand new and perform like day one. The assorted colors are cheerful and give my kitchen that clean Scandinavian feel. Ten cloths at this price is an unbelievable deal, and I have plenty to rotate throughout the house. If you haven’t tried Swedish dishcloths yet, start with the original Wettex; you’ll be hooked for life!

I've been using these flat sponges for many years after a friend from Europe showed them to me. They absorb like a thick sponge but don't leave a lot of water behind when you wipe the counter. So the counter top dries quickly. You wring them out well and they work almost like a chamois cloth. I rinse them well after every use and sanitize them couple times a day in container of water with couple tablespoons of bleach. I put them in small lingerie bag to wash in washer. Can put them in top rack of dishwasher but that makes them wear out more quickly. I feel like these are more sanitary than sponges or dishcloths because I can wash them thoroughly and they dry out quickly. They never have an odor. I usually have 2 out at a time and replace them every few weeks.

First off, my package did not say "vileda" anywhere on the packaging so I feel these might not be the brand advertised. These dishcloths also do not have that diamond pattern on the back; the pattern on the back is just grooves. I have another dishcloth that was gifted to me for Christmas 2020 and that particular dishcloth has the diamond pattern. Also, my gifted dishcloth is a tad thinner than these "vileda" dishcloths. These dishcloths are thicker but they feel a little more like a sponge as compared to my gifted dishcloth. I am still using the first one from the package I bought, but after a couple of weeks of use, even with a weekly wash in the washing machine, the dishcloth is starting to slightly smell in between the washes. My gifted dishcloth (about 6 months older than these dishcloths) still does not smell in between the weekly washings in the washing machine. I do drape my dishcloths over faucets, etc. to let them fully dry after each use. On the plus side, these dishcloths do absorb liquids quite well and I have used one dishcloth for countless countertop cleanups. Works pretty well as a scrubber (for light to medium scrubbing jobs) too. I really like the decorative pattern and colors too and I am happy that my kitchen got a pop of color, even if the pop of color is a dishcloth draped over the kitchen faucet to dry, lol. With all of that said, I would not buy these particular dishcloths again as I feel that these are misrepresented (besides the branding, have you noticed there is no clear picture of the back side of the cloth?). If I were to buy more Swedish dishcloths, I will specifically look for the thinner ones with a diamond pattern. On the other hand, it looks like these will last a while so hopefully I simply will not need ANY dishcloths for a while. Update - I bumped the star rating from 3 to 4 as I am still using the first dishcloth out of the package I bought and the dishcloth actually no longer gets that lingering smell in between the washings (was I using it for some smelly cleanups or something?) while it is still holding up quite well. I'll take a few dishcloths and gift them to my family whenever I may see them so that they can cut down on their paper waste too. I am amazed how long it now takes us to use 1 roll of paper towels. Intending to keep it that way!

These dishcloths have changed my attitude about keeping the dishes and counters clean! They dry easily, they work great for all clean ups. They look great and are easy to dry, just hang them on a hook near the sink.

Love these. This is my second purchase, getting this set as a gift for my daughter to have at her house. They are like super paper towels. Very absorbent, scrubbable, nice size, and toss them in the washing machine and dry flat to use again later. If I get a stain I just put a little dish soap on them, rub it and rinse so the stain comes out. I got them because some one said they replaced their paper towels, I haven't gotten rid of mine but they last much longer as I use the dishcloth to clean more than paper towels now.

These cleaning cloths are the absolute best! They wring out easily and provide an easy clean up tool. They wipe up messes completely and easily. They are easy to rinse out and dry quickly. They are lightweight and do not seem to retain odors like sponges so often do. Highly recommended!

Ok. Full disclosure. I really want to be more environmentally friendly and I love the idea of less paper towel waste but these take some getting used to. Overall, I am very pleased with them but it is a hard habit to break-always reaching for a paper towel. I have learned they can be washed and reused multiple times. They are quite sturdy and very nice looking/nice thickness too.
