Dish cloths & sponges

Dishwash and kitchen essentials

Even with dishwashers in the kitchen, certain dishes have to be hand-washed. A good dishwash sponge for scrubbing and a dishcloth for wiping dishes are essentials. Gloves are handy for getting chores done without exposing your hands to cleaning agents. 

Types of dish sponges 

Scrubbing dishes with an ineffective sponge will result in having to put more force into the task than necessary. A sponge that is too rough for the task will leave scratches on your dishes. Pick from our collection of sensibly designed dish sponges that make your dishwashing task easier. A scrubber that you can flip to use the softer or rougher side, is convenient to use. Use the softer side for regular dishes and the rougher side to tackle stuck-on stains or heavily soiled dishes. A two-in-one sponge saves you the time of switching between sponges mid-wash. 

Dish clothes

Dish clothes are handy for multiple purposes in the kitchen. Use a dishcloth that has two different textured sides for dishwashing purposes. The softer side is good for normal washing while the rougher side gets stuck-on stains off better. A super absorbent dishcloth is handy for wiping surfaces dry. A microfibre dishcloth gives you extra cleaning power without using detergent. Use it to wipe all your kitchen counters down and keep them at their best. A microfibre dishcloth will also wipe surfaces clean without leaving scratches. 

Keeping dish sponges clean

Dish sponges that are poorly maintained can be extremely unhygienic. Ensure that you wash the sponge thoroughly after use, squeeze dry and store it so that it can air dry. They can also be soaked in a diluted bleach solution or in vinegar occasionally for disinfection. Dish sponges do not last forever and should be discarded as soon as they start looking worse for wear. 

Keeping a dishcloth clean

It is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions to keep a dishcloth clean. They generally need similar care to that of dish sponges. Dish clothes that can be machine washed and dried are very convenient to use. 

Patterns and colours

Have fun with the colours and shapes that you add to the kitchen. Colourful essentials make the most mundane tasks a little more joyful. The kitchen sink is one of the largest elements on the kitchen counter and is highly visible. Colourful dish sponges and dish clothes placed around the sink add interest to it. They also bring a smile to your face when you enter the kitchen. Our colourful sponges are shaped like a Dala horse which is Sweden's best-selling souvenir. 

Gloves

Prevent the warm water and detergent that you use to clean your dishes from drying out your hands. A pair of cleaning gloves lets you get your hands into the foamy water without worrying about your skin. Use gloves when you do all your household tasks to keep your manicure pristine. Measure your hands and buy gloves that will fit right for maximum comfort.
