Our story

Sweden's clever little cloth

The Swedish dishcloth is a simple idea that has been cleaning Scandinavian kitchens for decades. It is a thin cloth of cellulose and cotton that soaks up spills and wipes surfaces like a sponge or paper towel, yet dries quickly, rinses clean and can be washed and reused hundreds of times. One cloth does the work of a whole stack of paper towels. Skura brings that Swedish invention to your kitchen — practical, durable and kind to the planet.

How it's made

The cloths are made from a blend of cellulose and cotton, pressed into a thin, absorbent sheet and printed with simple, bold patterns. They are cut to a handy size and ready to soak up a lifetime of spills.

How to use it

Wet the cloth and wring it out, then use it to wipe, soak and polish. Rinse it clean after use, or pop it in the washing machine or dishwasher. Lay it flat or hang it to dry — it dries fast and is ready again.

Good to know

How long does one last?
