Three Bluebirds Swedish Dishcloth

Recommended

The classic cellulose-and-organic-cotton Swedish cloth - GOTS and OEKO-TEX certified, compostable, and absorbent enough to replace rolls of paper towels.

The verdict: Plastic-free

70% FSC wood cellulose and 30% organic cotton - no plastic, and certified (GOTS for the cotton, OEKO-TEX for tested chemistry), printed with water-based inks. It absorbs roughly twenty times its weight, dries hard and fast so it resists odor, and composts at the end. It's the definitive Swedish dishcloth: one replaces many paper-towel rolls, with plant fiber shedding instead of plastic.

Verification: Manufacturer confirmed
