Caring for Themed Printed Swedish Dishcloths

Quick answer

To keep the printed design on your themed Swedish dishcloth looking great, wash it by hand or in the washing machine on a gentle cycle with cold water, then air dry or tumble dry low. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.

How to care for your themed printed dishcloth

1. Rinse after each use: After using your dishcloth, rinse it thoroughly with cold water to remove food particles and stains. Squeeze out excess water gently. Don't wring or twist the cloth; it can distort the shape and the printed design.
2. Wash by hand or machine on gentle cycle: For hand washing, use mild dish soap and cold water. For machine washing, place the cloth in a mesh laundry bag and select a gentle cycle with cold water. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and harsh detergents. Fabric softener can coat the fibers, reducing absorbency. Bleach can fade the print.
3. Dry flat or tumble dry low: Air dry the cloth flat or hang it. If using a dryer, select the lowest heat setting. High heat can shrink the cloth and damage the printed design. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods, as UV rays can also cause fading.
4. Store when completely dry: Once fully dry, fold or roll your themed dishcloth and store it in a clean, dry place. This prevents mildew and keeps the design crisp. Storing a damp cloth can lead to odors and mold growth, which may stain the print.
