The cotton comes from “waste cotton”, meaning it’s made from the cotton fibers that are too short for the textile industry and would otherwise just become waste. Because each Swedish dishcloth is 100 percent compostable, this allows us to recycle cotton in a safe, unique, and environmentally friendly way. Where are your Swedish Dishcloths made? Swedish dishcloths from Ecologie are authentically made in Sweden (after all, it is the birthplace of the Swedish dishcloths).
