I genuinely enjoy using Swedish dishcloths way more than I even did paper towels. They’re perfect for managing day-to-day messes in the kitchen and they’re shockingly absorbent, durable, and long-lasting. The biggest annoyance I had with them is never knowing where to put it when it was drying, but recently I mounted a Command hook behind my sink and used a hole punch to create a little hanging hole.
