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. These eco-friendly, set-of-2 Cloths will clean all kitchen & bath surfaces without streaking & are great for granite, stainless steel, laminate & glass top stoves. Their cellulose (wood pulp)-cotton composition is 100% biodegradable & can be thrown away with compostable waste. Plus — they are naturally anti-bacterial due to their quick-drying ability which means no 'dish cloth' smell!
