Overview
One cloth that does the job of a sponge and a roll of paper towels. This plastic-free Swedish dishcloth soaks up spills, wipes counters, and dries dishes, then goes in the wash and comes back ready for more. Reusable again and again, so a stack of three outlasts a cabinet of paper towels.
- Soaks up spills: Holds up to 10 times its weight in water. Sized 6.5 by 7.5 inches, in a 3-pack.
- Plant-based and plastic-free: Made from cellulose and organic cotton, biodegradable, with no plastic backing.
- Wash and reuse: Rinse, machine wash, or boil to refresh. Each cloth lasts up to 1,500 uses.

The plastic-free Swedish dishcloth that outlasts a roll of paper towels
One cloth that does the work of a sponge and a roll of paper towels. This Swedish-style dishcloth is stiff when dry and soft the second it hits water, so it soaks up spills, wipes counters, and dries dishes, then goes in the wash and comes back ready for more. It is plant fiber and organic cotton, no plastic, and it biodegrades when it finally wears out.
How it works
1. Wet. Wet the cloth to soften the fibers and bring up full absorbency.
2. Wipe. Wipe countertops, dishes, spills, and any hard kitchen or bathroom surface.
3. Rinse. Rinse, wring out, and air-dry between uses.
Plant-based ingredients
Cellulose
Plant-derived fibers from wood pulp, the same material used in Swedish-style dishcloths since the 1940s. Renewable, biodegradable, and absorbent enough to hold up to 10x its weight in water.
Organic Cotton
Cotton grown without synthetic pesticides, blended with the cellulose for strength and structure. Neither layer has a plastic backing or a synthetic scouring mesh, which many synthetic dishcloths add.
Why switch to a Swedish dishcloth
A roll of paper towels lasts a week or two in most kitchens, then goes in the trash. One eco-friendly Swedish dishcloth handles the same spills, drips, and counter messes for up to 1,500 uses, and it goes back in the drawer clean instead of in the trash. That means fewer rolls in the cart and no synthetic fibers shedding into your sink.

Before you ditch paper towels
What makes Plastno Sponge Cloths better than paper towels?
Each eco-friendly dish cloth absorbs up to 10x its weight in water and lasts up to 1,500 uses, which is roughly 1,500 paper towel sheets you never buy. It's made from plant-based cellulose and organic cotton, so it sheds no synthetic fibers, and it biodegrades once it finally wears out.
How do I use a Plastno Sponge Cloth?
Wet it first. A dry Swedish dishcloth is stiff, and water is what softens the cellulose and brings up its full absorbency. From there, wipe countertops, dishes, spills, or any hard surface in the kitchen or bathroom, then rinse it, wring it out, and stand it up to air-dry.
How do I clean and care for a Plastno Sponge Cloth?
Three ways. Run it through the washing machine with regular laundry, set it on the top rack of the dishwasher, or boil it for one to two minutes. Skip bleach and high dryer heat, which shorten the life of the cellulose fibers. Each cloth lasts up to 1,500 uses.
Is the Plastno Sponge Cloth biodegradable?
Yes. The cloth is plant-based cellulose and organic cotton printed with water-based inks, with no plastic backing and no synthetic scouring layer, so it biodegrades at the end of its life. It breaks down in backyard or municipal compost where accepted. Not third-party certified.
Can the Sponge Cloth replace both paper towels and synthetic kitchen sponges?
Yes. The dish cloth format handles the wiping jobs you'd normally hand to a paper towel and the surface cleaning you'd hand to a sponge, which is why one cloth can cover both jobs. For baked-on cookware you still want the scrub side of a loofah dish sponge.
