As a Swedish person i got shocked when i found out that these were swedish inventions and weren't used all over the world. I have Used these my whole life and have never seen a household without them. Very weird

[benktlofgren]

As a Swede, I use these daily, always Wettex brand. The only downside for me is "milk spills" if you use them for milk spills throw them in the dishwasher directly. If you don't every time you squeeze it to remove the fluids/water your hands are gonna smell like spoiled milk.

Wettex is the brand name that the inventor gave it, so yes, it is indeed the original.
Already at the time of invention, 1949, the english language was "hip" in Sweden and the
name is derived from the english words _wet_ and _textile_ . Wet-tex.

This is a good Christmas gift idea for those random family members that you never know what to get 😂 thanks for sharing! Definitely going to try these out!

Thanks for this. I bought the 80/20 composition and they barely lasted a month. I’m on the hunt for the 70/30 composition and am hoping I have better results 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

A friend gave me one several years ago, and I love them! I've purchased several locally and a multi pack online. My kitchen backslash is Subway tile, so I punched a hole in one and hang it between uses.
I just gave my 18 year old granddaughter who's headed to college one with a cute pattern for her dorm room, and she is excited to use it!

I have skoy scrubs for years. They never seem to end

[avemaria]

we used them daily, it clean all surfaces including the dust on the plants

[mddell]

BTW, I'd LOVE to know what you think NOW of the scrubber/clothes you ordered. (You only had them for maybe two days when you did this video.
I'm on a VERY low budget, so need great deals, but, I'm 60+ & I've definitely learned that buy cheap MAY mean getting cheap, low cost items that do not last. I sure don't need that!
Thanks, again.

[mddell]

I'm pretty sure that BLEACH should not be used with/on these.
BLEACH will usually disintegrate (melt)
the material these are comprised of.
I'm going to purchase some of these.
So, if anyone knows a great deal for a small (bulk) deal, please let me know. Great details in your video here. 👍 😃

Hair and dust does not stick to them!!

[ivyrose]

The biggest problem I’ve had trying to transition away from paper towels is that I have pets and I can’t keep cloths from collecting hair. You’d think you can just wash them but even several wash and dry cycles doesn’t get all the hair off. I know certain material is way worse about attracting and holding onto lint and hair than others. How do the Swedish dish cloths fair in this area?

[lovesspin]

I have some and love them. The very BEST use, though, IMO, is that you can get a clean one wet, squeeze out the water (don't wring) and clean mirrors and glass with it! No need to dry or anything. No streaking. No lint! And if it gets a little grubby, just rinse it out and squeeze it and continue.

If you're in the US and have a Trader Joe's, they sell a 5-pack for $4. Great deal! I wasn't sold on them until I tried them out, because I don't feel good using microfibre clothes and contributing to all the micro plastics in our waters. But I like them a lot! Easy to get counters and other surfaces dry, which a regular sponge can't do, and they dry fast.

[carolstella]

I love these but my husband hates them! He says they are way too small for his big hands! I may have to invest in larger ones, if I can find them. I love the fact that they don’t leave streaks on my black granite countertops, and they dry fast.

[Annam]

So wen it’s dry does it go back stiff ?

[emgeezef]

Papaya costs $54, and they just swish dish cloths

[leomn]

I hate the way most towels get oily after a while, which inhibits absorption. I was wondering about if it releases oil during washing.

[oldblackstock]

Imo, it feels slightly rubbery. I just opened the package and only used it a few times so far.

[brochacho]

Tossing into laundry. I use fragrance free 7th Gen fabric softeners in dryer. Can these go into dryer with my laundry and the fabric softener? Wool balls suck for anyone who suggest I use those over fabric softener 😊
