If paper towels have become a kitchen essential for you over the years, it might be time to consider cutting back and trying out the ultra-absorbent and sustainable Swedish dishcloths. Ten-packs of cult-favorite paper towel replacements are on sale at Amazon for a $9 deal— which pales in comparison to the amount you’ll save on paper product restocks, not to mention the positive impact you’ll have on the planet. You can also save 20% on single-color packs at Amazon with code 20CNNEARTH through April 22.
When we tested out the Swedish dishcloths for ourselves, we found them to be wildly absorbent and extremely versatile — and now they're at a new all-time low price during Earth Day sale week.
Invented by a Swedish engineer in 1949, the dishcloths are reusable, biodegradable and ultra-affordable, not to mention highly effective. These dishcloths, which normally retail for over $20 are machine-washable and dishwasher-safe, so they can be used on messes over and over. And since they’re comprised of renewable and natural fibers, specifically 70% cellulose and 30% cotton, the dishcloths air-dry much more quickly than sponges, so germs and bacteria (and their accompanying odors) don’t have time to grow on them.
When we tested out the Swedish dishcloths for ourselves, we found them to be wildly absorbent (be sure to check them out in action) and extremely versatile — in addition to becoming a kitchen staple you can also pair them with your favorite organic cleaning products for tackling messes from your pets, kids or other daily duties.
