I loved the way this product cleaned my glass stove top. I sprinkled it on the stove that I had already spritzed water on. I spread it around and then I'd let it sit and come back every few minutes to do some extra scrubbing with a copper mesh scrubber. My stovetop doesn't look immaculate or brand spanking new but it looks SO much better. Photo attached is the after photo (I forgot to take a before). My favorite part about this cleaner is how amazing it smells and how I didn't feel like I had to wear gloves because it's basically vegetable soap. I can't wait to try it on my glass shower door!

Swedish Dishcloths | Easter
Swedish dishcloths, also called sponge cloths, can replace up to 17 rolls of paper towels and help you to significantly reduce waste. They are an excellent paper towel alternative and are perfect for wiping spills, cleaning counters, and performing general cleaning tasks. They are safe to use on all surfaces and never leave a scratch.
These Swedish dish cloths are made with sustainably forested wood pulp and organic cotton and are free from harmful chemicals. They can absorb 20 times their weight in liquid and last 200 wash cycles. This genuine material is made in a Fair-Trade Certified facility on a river in Europe, where the freshwater is returned cleaner after going through the factory.
With these simple paper towel replacements, you can help create change. Over 100 single-use paper towel rolls are used annually by the typical American household. The production and use of conventional paper towels contribute to deforestation, chemical pollution, and landfill overflow. These reusable kitchen sponge cloths are the ideal, greener paper towel substitute and they are much more hygienic and environmentally friendly than synthetic sponges!
Use these dishcloths to clean countertops, do dishes, dust — in the kitchen and bath, and for general household chores. You can use it on granite, stainless steel, glass, wood, etc. It cleans streak-free! A Swedish Dishcloth is more efficient than paper towels, which are wasteful. One absorbs about 20 times its weight, and a single Swedish Dishcloth is able to do the job of 17 rolls of paper towels — saving trees, water and money. It's also more hygienic than sponges.
Wet your dishcloth with water and squeeze it out to make it more absorbent. You can use sprays, soap, or just water with it. You can also use it with vinegar and water. It is not for drying, but is for cleaning. It is not for use on cheese graters or other sharp items.
You can clean it in the washing machine, or in the top rack of the dishwasher. To sterilize, it can also be boiled briefly, or microwaved (when damp) for approximately one minute. You can also bleach your dishcloth. See below for more info. To air dry, hang it over the faucet, on the side of the sink, or lay flat. Do not tumble dry.
