FAQs
How many times can I wash this dishcloth?
With proper care, this cloth can withstand hundreds of washes in either a dishwasher or a washing machine.
Is the ink safe for food surfaces?
Yes, the Hug design uses water-based colors that are safe for use in your kitchen and around food prep areas.
Does it work like a regular sponge?
It acts like a cross between a sponge and a cloth. It is thinner than a traditional sponge but much more absorbent and easier to sanitize.
How do I compost it?
Since it is made from cellulose and cotton, it is fully biodegradable. You can cut it into smaller pieces and add it to your home compost pile.
Can I use bleach on the cloth?
It is recommended to avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, as they may degrade the natural cellulose fibers and fade the printed design.
Troubleshooting
The cloth develops a musty odor
The cloth has likely stayed damp for too long. Ensure you wring it out completely after use and hang it in a spot with good airflow.
The cloth looks stained
Because the cloth is made of natural fibers, strong food dyes like tomato sauce or berries may cause staining. This does not affect performance; try washing in the dishwasher with a mild detergent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Dexam Swedish Dishcloth, simply rinse it under warm water to soften the fibers and activate its absorbency. It is compatible with all standard kitchen surfaces, including stainless steel, glass, and wood. To ensure maximum product life, follow these care guidelines:
- Routine Cleaning: After each use, rinse the cloth thoroughly and wring it out.
- Sanitation: You can sanitize the cloth by placing it in the top rack of your dishwasher or washing it in a standard laundry load.
- Drying: Always lay the cloth flat or hang it to dry in a well-ventilated area to prevent bacterial growth.
- Disposal: Once the cloth has reached the end of its utility after many washes, simply place it in your home compost bin.
