Dish cloths, brushes & sponges

Cleaning with a system: IKEA sponges, cloths and washing‑up brushes

Still looking for tools that make the washing‑up a little easier? That help you wipe down or deep‑clean the kitchen? That are so versatile you can use them all over the house? Then we have just the thing: our dish cloths and kitchen sponges lighten the load in everyday life. Dual‑sided washing‑up sponges make both gentle cleaning and tackling tougher residue easier. Dish cloths in 100% cotton not only feel good in your hand, they are absorbent, hard‑wearing – and look great too.

The key features and benefits of our kitchen helpers at a glance (depending on the product):

• Two cleaning sides for both stubborn and light dirt
• Absorbent, quick‑drying and machine‑washable
• Robust, durable materials – designed for frequent use
• Ergonomic shapes, comfortable handling and practical sizes
• Partly made from recycled plastics or natural fibres
• Smart touches like suction cups and built‑in soap dispensers
• Versatile – suitable for kitchen, bathroom, barbecue and more

By the way, you’ll also find cleaning gloves here – so you can get a good grip on cloths and sponges while protecting your hands from washing‑up liquid and other cleaning products.

Sponges and scourers: tough on dirt and stubborn stains

With our sponges and scourers, the washing‑up goes faster and feels easier. The soft side of our dual‑sided kitchen sponges lathers up nicely and gently lifts off food residue and grease – even from delicate plates and cutlery. The rougher side helps to shift more stubborn marks and stuck‑on grime. IKEA washing‑up sponges sit comfortably in the hand, soak up plenty of water and are easy to wring out. Thanks to their sturdy materials and different textures, they are useful far beyond the sink too – for example when cleaning the barbecue or scrubbing tiles. They even take on tough dirt in the car. Just make sure the abrasive side does not scratch sensitive surfaces; a quick test in an inconspicuous spot will tell you.

IKEA cleaning cloths: quality that cuts down the effort

Dishcloths, cleaning rags or sponge cloths – whatever you call them, ours use quality cotton and selected fibre blends for absorbency, durability and easy care. Single‑ or multi‑layered, they make wiping surfaces, polishing cutlery or leaving things streak‑free much simpler – from dining tables and chests of drawers to washbasins and other furniture. IKEA cloths and sponge cloths support you when drying, polishing and doing a quick wipe‑down after meals.

The clever washing‑up brush – a little multitasker by the sink

Short or long bristles, slim or wide heads – a flexible washing‑up brush cleans glasses, pots and oven dishes thoroughly and hygienically. Many IKEA dish brushes come with a pointed tip for burnt‑on bits, an ergonomic handle and a suction cup at the base. That way, the brush stays put on the sink, is always to hand, and can dry properly. Another clever tip: a washing‑up brush with an integrated soap dispenser, so no spot slips through the net.

Everything in hand: cleaning gloves, draining racks and sink accessories

Sometimes it’s the little extras that make cleaning feel that bit easier. IKEA cleaning gloves are just that: they protect your hands and give you a better grip while you get everything sparkling clean. Once all the cookware, utensils and surfaces are shining, you can turn your attention to the sink area. Our multifunctional draining racks not only take care of drying your dishes – they also tidy up your worktop and add a bit of style to your kitchen. Matching soap dispensers and caddies for sponges, cloths and brushes keep everything neatly in its place.
