Swedish cloth can be used for most situations that call for paper towels, rags, or sponges.  After use simply rinse and let dry.  They will stiffen to their original texture when completely dry. 

For sanitization, you can microwave, boil or bleach them.  They can also be cleaned in a washing machine or dishwasher about 200 times before their end of life. 

Swedish Cloth is biodegradable and compostable.  When they are no longer usable they can be composted.
