Which surfaces are Swedish Dishcloths safe on?

Swedish Dishcloths are safe on 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.

✓ Stainless steel

Fridges, dishwashers, rangehoods, sinks, and splashbacks. Wipes off fingerprints and water spots without leaving swirl marks.

Won't scratch Streak-free

✓ Glass and mirrors

Windows, bathroom mirrors, shower screens, and glass splashbacks. Pair with Universal Cleaner for a streak-free finish.

Windows Mirrors

✓ Benchtops

Sealed stone, laminate, solid-surface, and sealed timber. Skip harsh scourers and use Universal Cleaner for daily wipe-downs.

Stone Laminate Sealed timber

✓ Ceramic and porcelain

Tiled walls, tiled floors, porcelain sinks, and glazed finishes. Safe on grout lines. Won't etch glazes or dull the surface.

Tile Sinks Glazes

✓ Appliance exteriors

Fridges, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves, and rangehoods. Works across stainless, painted, and plastic finishes.

Stainless Painted Plastic

✓ Microwave interiors

Soft enough for the painted interior and glass turntable. Wipe down food splatters with warm water or Universal Cleaner.

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

Safe to 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

Raw marble, limestone, and unsealed timber floors can absorb water and stain. Use damp not wet and dry the surface straight after wiping.
