Our Swedish Sponge Cloths absorb spills like magic while lasting for months, not minutes. Made from natural cellulose and cotton, each cloth replaces stacks of wasteful paper towels while staying fresh and odor-free between uses. Because that endless cycle of buying, using, and trashing paper towels? There's finally a better way. Time to break the paper towel addiction.
Cellulose - Natural
The absorbent, quick-drying base that lifts spills and scrubs surfaces.
Cotton - Natural
Woven through for strength and structure, so the cloth holds up to repeated washing.
One reusable, machine-washable cloth does the work of countless paper towels and synthetic sponges, so there is far less waste and no microplastics shedding into your sink. Made from FSC-certified cellulose and natural cotton, it is plant-based throughout with nothing synthetic.
At the end of its long life it goes in the home compost and returns to the soil, rather than sitting in landfill the way plastic sponges do.
Five Swedish dishcloths in the Essential Neutrals design.
How it works
Wet
Run the cloth under water and wring it out; it softens and springs to life.
Wipe
Wipe down counters, hobs, spills and dishes; it grips grime and soaks up liquid.
Refresh
Rinse and air-dry, or pop it in the machine to come back fresh for next time.

Sponge Cloths FAQs
Just wet the cloth, wring out excess water, and clean! They're stiff when dry but become soft and absorbent when wet.
One Swedish dishcloth replaces 17 rolls of paper towels and lasts 6-9 months. Plus, they're more absorbent and actually clean better!
Rinse after use, wring out, and air dry. Machine wash when needed or pop in the dishwasher's top rack. No tumble drying tho!
Safe for all surfaces - counters, dishes, glass, stainless steel, non-stick cookware. Use with or without cleaning products.
With proper care, each cloth lasts 6-9 months of regular use. You'll know it's time to replace when it starts to fall apart.
Our 30-Day Guarantee
We stand by every Vove product. That's why it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it's not right for your home, tell us within 30 days and you get your money back. No fuss.
Customers said these reusable cloths are "incredibly absorbent" and replace paper towels effectively. They dry fast, preventing odors, and are machine washable. "Perfect for wiping spills" and cleaning multiple surfaces. Some noted prints fade and staining occurs. Minor concerns about shrinkage and texture when wet, but overall highly praised for durability and eco-friendliness.

These are the best dish washing products because they are washable and do not sour. I can probably reuse one for about 2 weeks before replacing
I’ll never buy a j cloth again
Feels sturdy, and wipes incredibly well. Plus you can wash it and it's good to use again. I'll see how many washes it lasts for. So far so good!
These are absolutely brilliant! Very absorbant and machine washable, chuck them in the machine and they're as good as new. Found them to be really useful for mopping up spills and when i was defrosting the freezer, they can slide into small gaps to mop up remaining water.
Yes ...will order more when needed - on a crusade to get rid of all micro plastics in the house, a task made easier with this addition & removal of all microfibre cloths.
These are great! Durable, long lasting, colorfast. Very happy!
Great
I'm slowly but steadily replacing single-use items and plastics in my kitchen with healthier + more environmentally-friendly alternatives. In addition to their stated purpose as dishcloths, these are an amazing replacement for paper towels when it comes to wiping down countertops and small spills, as well as polishing windows and glass tables. They can also work as a gentle sponge for polishing glassware. The designs are super cute, and they're genuinely making me more excited to clean my house. They're super absorbent and have a little bit of scrubbing power. I haven't used them long enough to be able to report back on durability yet, but I think I will get my money's worth out of them.
Perfect. I use this instead of paper towels so cut down on waste and they get the job done beautifully. Of course paper towels can’t be replaced 100% but I’d say the majority of my kitchen needs are met by these. Just wet, wring, spray and wipe, then rinse again and hang to dry. No odor, dries super fast, and holds up in washer/dryer when I wash them, usually after a few days of use. Really happy with this purchase.
These are really durable and easy to clean, I love stuff that allows me to reduce waaye and these are washable so you can use them without really worrying about the disintegration that happens with sponges. My only complaint is that the could be a bit thicker to add absorbency and they could be in colors that don't show dirt so easily. That being said I liked the product enough to buy more stuff from this company and it's all been pretty good.
I keep a seperate one of these just for the dog. Its perfect for wiping up his muddy paw prints from the floor or cleaning up water spills around his bowl. I just toss it in the wash every couple of days and it's good as new. So much better than using a whole roll of paper towels.
I got one of these in a gift basket from a friend. I had never heard of them before but now I'm completely hooked. I just bought my first full pack. Such a simple but clever product that makes a real differance.
I bought these mostly because the Botanical Garden print perfectly matched my kitchen decor. I love that I can have a practical cleaning tool that also looks beautiful hanging by my sink. They work brilliantly too, very absorbent. A win-win!

I use these for everything! Washing up, wiping counters, cleaning windows, dusting surfaces, and even cleaning the bathroom. They are so versatile and effective. I've already bought a seperate pack for the bathroom. Love this product.
Good dishcloth, saves on regular dishcloths and the sour smell. Dries really quick and ready for use instantly.
I'm not a fan of bright colours in my kitchen, so I was thrilled to find the 'Essential Neutrals' pack. The grey and beige tones are so calming and stylish. They look very high-end. I love them.
My sister gave me one of these and I thought it was a bit weird and stiff at first. Now I am absolutly obsessed and have brought them for all my friends as little gifts. You just have to try them to understand how good they are!
The claims are true - these things are like a shammy. They can soak up a whole spilled glass of water with ease. I'm very impressed with the absorbancy. A must-have for any clumsy person like me!
I bought these for my dorm room and my roommate loved them so much she stole one from the pack! I had to go buy her her own. They are really popular for a reason - they just work so well in a small space and you dont need paper towels.
It's amazing how much of the weight and bulk in my kitchen bin was from soggy paper towels. Since switching to these, my bin is so much lighter and less full. It's a really tangible result of reducing waste. Plus, the cloths themselves are fantastic.
I was a paper towel addict. I used them for everything. This little cloth has completely changed my habits. It's so absorbent and versatile, I find myself reaching for it instead of the paper roll every time. It's one of the best sustainable swaps I've made.
My biggest pet peeve is that sour, mildewy smell that regular dishcloths get. These are a revelation! They dry stiff as a board in just a couple of hours, which means they never have a chance to get stinky. It's the best feature. My kitchen smells so much fresher now.
I use this instead of a sponge for washing my dishes. It gets a great lather, it's flexible enough to get inside glasses, and unlike a sponge, it dries completely and never gets gross. I just boil mine in a pan of water every few days to sanitize it. A much more hygenic option.
I was worried about washing this in my machine, thought it would fall apart. But I've washed it with my towels on a normal cycle loads of times and it comes out perfect every time. Very durable and easy to keep properly clean.
I am a complete convert. I was skeptical, but these cloths are incredible. They soak up spills instantly, wipe down counters beautifully, and when they're dirty I just throw them in the wash. I haven't bought a roll of paper towels in three months. The amount of waste (and money) I've saved is amazing.
Weird use, but I keep these in my car. They are amazing for wiping down the dashboard and interior! They dont leave any dust or lint behind like paper towels or other cloths do. I get one slightly damp and it cleans all the surfaces perfectly.
The best part is no more smelly sponge funk. These things dry so fast they never get that gross sour smell. It's a real game changer for my kitching hygiene. I'll never go back to regular cloths that sit there getting funky.
Yes, it's stiff when dry. You get over it. The performance is worth it. It wipes counters clean and dry in one swipe. It doesn't smell. It's a great product.
This is one of the easiest and most effective eco-swaps you can make. It has a huge impact on your paper waste and there is zero compromise on performance. In fact, they work better than paper towels for most jobs. Definately recommend to anyone wanting to be more sustainable.
This might be a weird use, but these cloths are the absolute best thing for wiping down the dusty leaves on my houseplants! A regular cloth is too clumsy, and paper towels are wasteful. This gets them perfectly clean and shiny without damaging them. I keep one just for my plants!
I washed this in the machine and it came out all crumpled and a really wierd, warped shape. It still works, but it doesn't lay flat anymore which is annoying. Not as durable as I'd hoped.
