Lucomb Swedish Dishcloths are a cellulose-cotton hybrid designed for high-absorbency surface wiping. The 70/30 material split provides the capillary action needed to lift moisture effectively, while the diamond-grid embossed texture increases the surface area for better retention. These cloths expand by about 50% when wet, becoming soft and pliable for cleaning around faucets and in tight corners.
The material is a biopolymer blend that is completely biodegradable under industrial composting conditions. Because it dries significantly faster than a traditional foam sponge, it helps reduce the proliferation of microbes. For best results, it is recommended to rehydrate the cloth fully before each use, as it hardens to a rigid state when dry.
To maintain flexibility and prevent the material from becoming misshapen, avoid high-heat dryer cycles, which can cause up to 10% shrinkage. Instead, the cloth can be sanitized by microwaving it while damp for 30 seconds or by placing it in the top rack of a dishwasher. These cloths are particularly effective for streak-free cleaning on granite and stainless steel.
