Key Features
- Pack of four. 17cm x 19cm each.
- 70% cellulose, 30% cotton. No plastic, no synthetic fibre.
- Holds twenty times its own weight. Which is the point of the format.
- Machine and dishwasher washable. Lasts three to six months.
Pūrē Standard
- OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified. Meaning independently tested for harmful substances. That is tested rather than asserted, and it is rare at this price.
- Natural fibres only. So there is no microplastic shed in the wash and the whole cloth composts at home when it is done.
- It displaces paper towel. Which is the single biggest disposable in most kitchens. One cloth doing three to six months of work is the argument.
- Where we would like more. They are made in Germany, which is where the format comes from and where the quality is, but it is a long way to ship an 11g cloth. Nor do they state how the four-pack is wrapped.

Our Take
The Swedish dishcloth, made the way it has been made in Germany for decades: 70% cellulose, 30% cotton, nothing synthetic. One replaces a lot of paper towel, and it composts at home when it is finished.
