Extended Information

Made and designed by in Sweden, these dishcloths are woven from cotton and bamboo-viscose fiber. The bamboo-viscose inherently eliminates bacterial growth, which in turn eliminates and bad smells from the dishcloth. Further, the dishcloth is designed to allow full bacterial elimination by microwaving a dripping wet rag at full power for about 4 minutes.

This dishcloth is hygienic, functional, easy to care for, economic, appealing, and eco-certified. It offers back to basic and an end to the throwaway society.

Soft and absorbent making it ideal to use for all kinds of cleaning. To wring it dry does however require a bit more effort than the old throwaway rag made from scrap textiles. Using the Ekelund dish cloth leave an almost dry surface which will be totally dry within a minute. Please note that the absorption ability is much improved after the first wash.

30x25 cm (10” x 12”) which is the size obtained after the first wash. The size before washing is 35x29 cm (11” x 13 ½” ). The size has been made to feel good in ones hand.
