The Sponge Cloth has been a staple in Swedish kitchens for over 60 years & can absorb 15x its own weight in liquid (up to 3/4 of a cup). Feel good about replacing the use of up to 17 rolls of paper towel, reducing the plastic packaging & overall waste in landfills. This eco-friendly Cloth will clean all kitchen & bath surfaces without streaking & is great for granite, stainless steel, laminate & glass top stoves. Its cellulose (wood pulp)-cotton composition is 100% biodegradable & can be thrown away with compostable waste. Plus — it is naturally anti-bacterial due to its quick-drying ability, which means no 'dish cloth' smell!
