The Wettex 14-pack consists of Swedish dishcloths made from 70% cellulose and 30% cotton. This blend creates a capillary-rich structure that can absorb up to 15 times its own weight in liquid. These cloths are a practical tool for daily kitchen maintenance, as they combine the absorption of a sponge with the dexterity of a rag, and are designed to leave a streak-free finish on surfaces like granite and stainless steel.
These cloths are built to handle frequent sanitization and are rated for over 50 dishwasher cycles. They dry much faster than standard terry cloth, which helps inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria. To ensure they stay fresh, it is best to dry them over a vertical rack or a faucet neck rather than leaving them folded while damp. Specifications indicate a small amount of shrinkage may occur after the first deep-heat wash.
For quick sterilization, the cloth can be microwaved for a short period while fully saturated with water.
When dry, the material is rigid and not suitable for dusting, but it becomes soft and pliable as soon as it is wet. The high tensile strength helps it resist pilling or shredding during normal use. This bulk pack is an efficient way to stock a kitchen for several months of cleaning tasks while reducing reliance on single-use paper towels.
For those who prefer a 100% natural fiber option without the wood pulp content, the Wild & Stone organic cotton dish cloth offers a soft honeycomb weave.
You can find additional bulk cleaning supplies and sustainable tools in our reusable paper towels and Swedish dishcloths category.
