Over 28,000 Amazon shoppers love these Swedish dish towels – just $13 for a pack of 10

When you throw away a paper towel, it can feel like you are just throwing away money. Well, you Are — worth hundreds of dollars. Reusable cloths are a more economical and environmentally friendly way to clean. Case in point: these Swedish dishcloths. A single cloth can be reused up to 100 times — and what’s even better: You can get them in Amazon’s pre-Prime Day sale for just over $1 apiece.

Ready to clean up in the sales department? Amazon’s sale extravaganza doesn’t officially start until July 16, but there are already plenty of excellent Prime Day deals to be had. To help you weed out the not-so-great deals, our team of shopping experts have been tracking prices all week—and we’ve even compiled a list of Prime Day deals our editors are eyeing that you shouldn’t miss.

Reusable and biodegradable, these cloths are an economical and environmentally friendly way to clean countertops, dishes and more.

Why is this a good offer? 💰

Let’s run through some numbers here. According to Statista, Bounty is the most popular paper towel brand in the U.S., costing $23 for eight double-sized rolls on Amazon. And the average American household goes through five to seven rolls per month, which averages out to 72 rolls per year. That’s about $215 spent on paper towels per year.

Each of these Swedish dish towels is designed to last as long as 15 rolls of paper towels, so by my rough calculations, if you replace your paper towels with these, you’ll only use five towels per year. You’ll spend a total of $13 and still have five towels left over. That’s a savings of over $200!

Why do I need this? 🤔

These absorbent cloths are a great replacement for yucky sponges. They dry quickly, resist odors, and are durable. And the Amazon universe is going crazy over them, with more than 28,000 five-star reviews. That’s a lot of love for a dishcloth. They also come in single-color packs in purple, blue, yellow, and five other eye-catching colors.

Made from cotton and cellulose, these washable cloths can be washed in the dishwasher or in the laundry over and over again. When they finally wear out, you can rest easy knowing they’re biodegradable. Impressive at about a dollar per cloth!

What reviewers say 💬

Over 28,000 reviewers confirm that these are incredibly effective at washing dishes. They are called Swedish dishcloths, after all.

Advantages 👍

“You need these,” promised one enthusiastic fan. “UNBELIEVABLE… They’re a real workhorse for what they do. You like chemical-free and product-free cleaning? I’m telling you, cleaning is my thing. Wet one of these and spritz it on a mirror with just water… Throw them in the dishwasher or washing machine (I don’t put them in the dryer). And they last a long time. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought them as gifts. I’ve hidden them everywhere. In the bathroom, in the laundry room, in the kitchen, in the car!”

One satisfied buyer reported: “Great replacement for paper towels. I’ve been using them almost non-stop. Washes beautifully and is so easy to use. Dries completely with no musty smell. Thick enough for frequent use without tearing. Colors are bright and haven’t faded yet. Texture is soft without pilling. Nice product. Absorbency is excellent.”

“Change up your cleaning routine,” said a third. “Unlike traditional paper towels that are thrown away after one use, these reusable towels are long-lasting. I’ve been using them for weeks and they still look and work like new. This durability not only saves me money in the long run, but also reduces waste.”

Disadvantages 👎

Several reviewers noted that while they liked the tea towels, they were unaware that the range was not necessarily available in the colours pictured.

“I received all four colors pictured the first time I ordered,” this customer reported. “But this time I only received pink and white, the two colors I like least. I use them for dishwashing and they are perfect for that purpose because they are durable and quick-drying… (but) the colors can vary, which is unfortunate if you are as particular about the colors as I am.”

Another echoed: “The picture showed four different colors, which is what I expected to receive. I was planning to use a specific color for each cleaning session. However, I only received three colors – three pink, three green, and four white… Although I considered exchanging the package, I realized I would probably receive the same colors… I see myself throwing away the white wipes after one use, which defeats the purpose of the purchase. This has left me totally disappointed.”

We recommend choosing different colors for different uses: one for dishes, one for car cleaning, one for bathroom cleaning.
