Wettex The Original 10 Pack Swedish Dishcloth for Kitchen

Love these. This is my second purchase, getting this set as a gift for my daughter to have at her house. They are like super paper towels. Very absorbent, scrubbable, nice size, and toss them in the washing machine and dry flat to use again later. If I get a stain I just put a little dish soap on them, rub it and rinse so the stain comes out. I got them because some one said they replaced their paper towels, I haven't gotten rid of mine but they last much longer as I use the dishcloth to clean more than paper towels now.

This is the 2nd time I've bought these Swedish dishcloth and I love them! They wipe literally anything off your counters, appliances, stove etc and with no mess or residue. Sponges usually reequire you to go back over where you've wiped, but never with these. The area is dry and looks great. Plus the cloths can be washed in the washer or even in the dishwasher, so they're always clean and ready to go. I might add that they never smell as sometimes sponges do.

These Wettex Swedish dishcloths are pure kitchen magic. One cloth absorbs an insane amount of liquid, easily handling a full glass of spilled water with zero drips. They replace paper towels and nasty sponges completely and stay fresh because they dry so quickly. I throw them in the washing machine or dishwasher whenever they need refreshing, and they come out perfect every time. I use them for wiping counters, cleaning windows streak-free, scrubbing dishes, and even as quick trivets for hot pots. After months of constant use, they still look brand new and perform like day one. The assorted colors are cheerful and give my kitchen that clean Scandinavian feel. Ten cloths at this price is an unbelievable deal, and I have plenty to rotate throughout the house. If you haven’t tried Swedish dishcloths yet, start with the original Wettex; you’ll be hooked for life!

First off, my package did not say "vileda" anywhere on the packaging so I feel these might not be the brand advertised. These dishcloths also do not have that diamond pattern on the back; the pattern on the back is just grooves. I have another dishcloth that was gifted to me for Christmas 2020 and that particular dishcloth has the diamond pattern. Also, my gifted dishcloth is a tad thinner than these "vileda" dishcloths. These dishcloths are thicker but they feel a little more like a sponge as compared to my gifted dishcloth. I am still using the first one from the package I bought, but after a couple of weeks of use, even with a weekly wash in the washing machine, the dishcloth is starting to slightly smell in between the washes. My gifted dishcloth (about 6 months older than these dishcloths) still does not smell in between the weekly washings in the washing machine. I do drape my dishcloths over faucets, etc. to let them fully dry after each use. On the plus side, these dishcloths do absorb liquids quite well and I have used one dishcloth for countless countertop cleanups. Works pretty well as a scrubber (for light to medium scrubbing jobs) too. I really like the decorative pattern and colors too and I am happy that my kitchen got a pop of color, even if the pop of color is a dishcloth draped over the kitchen faucet to dry, lol. With all of that said, I would not buy these particular dishcloths again as I feel that these are misrepresented (besides the branding, have you noticed there is no clear picture of the back side of the cloth?). If I were to buy more Swedish dishcloths, I will specifically look for the thinner ones with a diamond pattern. On the other hand, it looks like these will last a while so hopefully I simply will not need ANY dishcloths for a while. Update - I bumped the star rating from 3 to 4 as I am still using the first dishcloth out of the package I bought and the dishcloth actually no longer gets that lingering smell in between the washings (was I using it for some smelly cleanups or something?) while it is still holding up quite well. I'll take a few dishcloths and gift them to my family whenever I may see them so that they can cut down on their paper waste too. I am amazed how long it now takes us to use 1 roll of paper towels. Intending to keep it that way!

I've been using these flat sponges for many years after a friend from Europe showed them to me. They absorb like a thick sponge but don't leave a lot of water behind when you wipe the counter. So the counter top dries quickly. You wring them out well and they work almost like a chamois cloth. I rinse them well after every use and sanitize them couple times a day in container of water with couple tablespoons of bleach. I put them in small lingerie bag to wash in washer. Can put them in top rack of dishwasher but that makes them wear out more quickly. I feel like these are more sanitary than sponges or dishcloths because I can wash them thoroughly and they dry out quickly. They never have an odor. I usually have 2 out at a time and replace them every few weeks.

These are great, reusable cloths for anything you would use paper towels on... except maybe grease. I tired of spending money on paper towels for those quick clean ups. These last for a couple of months. Very absorbent, and easy to clean. I just throw them in the dishwasher with a load of dishes. Pretty design, multiple uses, easy wash, fast dry. What more could you ask for?

This is the first product review I have ever posted and I am on this side of 71! Have always been a clean freak & had no clue what I was ordering but being of Swedish descent & knowing how clean they are gave them a try. They are super absorbent and rinse well. They work well on my stainless and glass stove top leaving no streaks.That in itself is a huge feat. Also need to mention that after a social gathering at my home, my wood flooring sustained many scuffs. I simply dampened one of these cloths and easily worked out the scuff. Needless to say I am sold on this product & am in the process of purchasing for stocking stuffers!!!

Easy to use, very absorbent and fast drying. Great alternative to paper towels and cost effective.
