Wet-it! - Swedish Dish Cloth
Meet the little cloth that can replace a whole lot of paper towels. Wet-it! Swedish Dishcloths are reusable, super-absorbent sponge cloths designed for everyday wiping, washing, and cleaning around the home—just choose your favorite pattern and put it to work.
Wet-it! founder Mathilda Davies grew up using sponge cloths in Sweden and was surprised to discover they weren't an everyday household staple when she came to the United States. In 2009, she and her husband set out to change that.
The result is a practical little cleaning cloth that combines Swedish tradition, reusable function, and cheerful design.

What Is a Swedish Dishcloth?
Think of it as somewhere between a sponge and a dish towel.
Dry, the cloth feels firm and lightweight. Add water and it becomes soft, flexible, and wonderfully absorbent.
Use it anywhere you might ordinarily reach for a paper towel, sponge, or cleaning rag:
-
Wiping kitchen counters
-
Cleaning tables
-
Washing dishes
-
Wiping sinks
-
Cleaning up spills
-
Wiping appliances
-
Everyday bathroom cleaning
-
General household cleanup
When you're finished, rinse it, let it dry, and reach for it again the next time there's a mess.
A Simple Paper Towel Swap
Sustainable living doesn't always require completely changing the way you do things.
Sometimes it's just replacing something disposable with something you can wash and use again.
Keep a Wet-it! cloth near the kitchen sink and reach for it instead of automatically tearing another sheet from the paper towel roll. Once it becomes part of your routine, you may be surprised by how often you use it.
And because they're available in so many patterns, you can even keep different designs for different jobs around the house.
From Sweden to the American Kitchen
Wet-it! began in 2009 when founder Mathilda Davies realized that the absorbent sponge cloths she had grown up using in Sweden weren't nearly as common in American homes.
With a business degree and a product she already knew and loved, Mathilda and her husband began introducing Swedish-style sponge cloths to the U.S. market.
Quality has remained central to the company as it has grown. Wet-it!'s in-house designs are printed using water-based inks, and the cloth itself is 100% decomposable.
It's a wonderfully practical combination of efficiency, sustainability, and a little personality beside the sink.
Choose Your Pattern
We carry Wet-it! Swedish Dishcloths in a rotating assortment of patterns and designs.
Each cloth is sold individually. Choose your favorite pattern from the available options.
Whether you like colorful, botanical, seasonal, whimsical, or simple designs, they all do the same hardworking job—so this is one sustainable swap where you're absolutely allowed to choose based on which one makes you smile.
Care
Rinse your Wet-it! cloth after use and allow it to dry between cleaning jobs.
Wash regularly to keep it fresh and continue reusing it until it's finally ready to retire.
Less reaching for the paper towel roll, more rinse-and-reuse—and a little more personality beside the kitchen sink.
