How to Use
It's as easy as wet, use, rinse, and hang. Here's your complete guide to getting the most out of every cloth.
Whether you just got your first pack or you're a seasoned pro, here's everything you need to know to get the most out of your Harps & Seb Swedish dishcloths.
Wet It to Soften
Your dishcloth will feel stiff and flat right out of the package — that's totally normal! It's the natural cellulose doing its thing.
Simply run it under water and watch the magic happen. In seconds, it transforms into a soft, flexible, ready-to-use cloth. Give it a gentle squeeze to remove excess water and you're good to go.
Use It Like a Paper Towel
Now just use it the way you'd use a regular paper towel or sponge — wipe, scrub, absorb, repeat. The 3D diamond grippy surface makes cleaning easy, and it absorbs up to 20x its weight in liquid.
Use it with just water for everyday wipe-downs, or pair it with your favorite cleaning spray for tougher jobs. It's compatible with any cleaning product you already use.
Rinse, Wring & Hang
When you're done cleaning, give your cloth a quick rinse under the faucet with a little soap (or just water if it wasn't a messy job). Wring out the excess water.
Then hang it to dry using the convenient clip that comes with every pack. This is key — hanging it up lets it dry quickly, which prevents bacteria and keeps it fresh.
Deep Clean (About Once a Week)
After a particularly messy job, or whenever your cloth needs a refresh (about once a week), give it a deep clean. You've got three easy options:
- Dishwasher — Place it on the top rack and run a normal cycle. Fan favorite!
- Washing machine — Toss it in with your regular laundry on a warm cycle. Lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low.
- Microwave — Place it damp in the microwave for 60 seconds to sanitize.
After any of these, your cloth will look and feel like new.
Compost When It's Time
One Harps & Seb Swedish dishcloth lasts 6-12 months with regular use, replacing up to 17 rolls of paper towels. You'll know it's time for a new one when you notice thinning or wear.
When your cloth has lived its best life, simply toss it in your compost bin. It's made from 100% natural materials, so it'll break down completely. No landfill waste — just back to the earth.
