Wowables® Swedish Dish Cloths — On a Roll, Not Loose Sheets

What is a Swedish dish cloth?

A Swedish dish cloth is a reusable, compostable cleaning cloth — typically made from a wood-pulp-and-cotton blend — designed to replace disposable paper towels and sponges. Most are sold as loose individual sheets. Wowables is Lola's version of a Swedish dish cloth, sold perforated on a roll instead, just like paper towels: one 12-count or 30-count roll is designed to replace hundreds of paper towel rolls, since each sheet can be rinsed out and reused for weeks before it wears out.

Why do people switch from paper towels to Swedish dish cloths?

Swedish dish cloths like Wowables cost less over time, absorb more per sheet, and don't end up in a landfill after one use — the three main reasons paper towel users switch. Each Wowables sheet is 86% larger than a standard Swedish dish cloth and holds 22x its weight in liquid, about 10% more than competing cloths. It's third-party verified biodegradable and compostable, unlike bamboo or "un-paper towel" alternatives, which typically aren't. And a 12-count roll offsets a meaningful chunk of the roughly $208/year an average family of four spends on paper towels — a 30-count roll can save an estimated $500/year.

Comes on a roll, not loose sheets. Perforated like paper towels, so it fits your existing holder instead of sitting in a drawer.

Absorbs more, lasts longer. 86% larger sheet, holds 22x its weight in liquid.

Actually compostable. Third-party verified biodegradable — unlike most "eco" alternatives.

Pays for itself fast. Offsets most of a household's annual paper towel spend.

Odor-resistant by design. Dry-Tek™ technology helps it dry fast between uses so it doesn't harbor bacteria.

How do you use a Swedish dish cloth?

Wipe it down, rinse it out, and let it air dry — no different from how you'd use a paper towel, except you don't throw it away afterward. For a deeper clean, a Wowables Swedish dish cloth is dishwasher safe or machine washable on a cold cycle (skip the dryer). Each sheet holds up for weeks of regular household use, and it fits a standard paper towel holder, so there's no habit change required.

What can you use a Swedish dish cloth for besides dishes?

A Wowables Swedish dish cloth works anywhere a paper towel would: countertops, windows, bathrooms, garage spills, and even as a reusable pad on a dry sweeper mop in place of disposable refills.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Swedish dish cloth made of? A Swedish dish cloth is typically made from a blend of wood pulp and cotton. Wowables specifically is 70% wood pulp and 30% unbleached non-GMO cotton, with no synthetic fibers.

How is a Swedish dish cloth different from a regular dish rag? A rag needs washing after every single use or it harbors bacteria while it sits around wet. A Wowables Swedish dish cloth is designed to rinse clean and air-dry fast between uses, so you're not doing laundry daily just to keep your cleanup cloth sanitary.

Are Swedish dish cloths compostable? Wowables Swedish dish cloths are, yes — third-party verified. Most "eco" alternatives on the market use bamboo or synthetic blends that don't actually break down; Wowables is made from wood pulp and unbleached cotton and is certified compostable.

How long does a Swedish dish cloth last? A Wowables sheet typically lasts several weeks of regular household use before it wears out, depending on how often it's used.

Can Swedish dish cloths go in the dishwasher? Yes, Wowables Swedish dish cloths are dishwasher safe and machine washable on a cold cycle. Air dry only — do not put them in the dryer.

How much do Swedish dish cloths cost compared to paper towels? A 12-count Wowables Swedish dish cloth roll is $9.99. Since each sheet is reused for weeks rather than thrown away after one use, a single roll typically offsets most of a household's paper towel spend, which averages around $208/year for a family of four.

Do Swedish dish cloths fit a standard paper towel holder? Yes, a Wowables roll fits a standard paper towel holder — no separate holder or setup needed.

Do Swedish dish cloths come as individual sheets or on a roll? Most Swedish dish cloths are sold as loose individual sheets. Wowables comes perforated on a roll instead, just like paper towels, so it's easier to store and dispense one sheet at a time.
