Which surfaces are Swedish Dishcloths suitable for?

Swedish Dishcloths are suitable for most household hard surfaces: stainless steel, glass, mirrors, ceramic tile, porcelain sinks, stone and laminate benchtops, sealed timber, appliance exteriors, and microwave interiors. Soft cellulose and cotton fibres wipe without scratching delicate finishes. Pair with Universal Cleaner for sealed surfaces, or use damp with plain water on glass and mirrors.

Which surfaces need a spot test first?

Painted cabinets, freshly painted walls, unsealed stone, and unsealed timber. Wring Swedish Dishcloth out well so it's only slightly damp, then spot test in an inconspicuous area first. Excess water can soak into unsealed surfaces or react with fresh paint. What matters more is the water volume and the cleaner you pair with.

⚠ Painted cabinets and walls

Suitable for use, but wring well to avoid drips running down the surface. Spot test in a hidden corner first, especially on freshly painted or satin finishes.

⚠ Unsealed stone and timber
