About ...
There's nothing that brings a room together like the perfect area rug - it grounds the room and makes the space feel finished. A beautiful wool rug completes the stylistic statement of the room. Though I never really thought about it, it is a fact that an area rug also makes a room warmer by insulating the floor, thereby reducing heat loss and maintaining the temperature of the space. The larger the rug, the greater the savings in heating costs.
​
As we all know, quality, like a wool rug, is not cheap. I just have to say I cannot believe how affordable these handmade Martha Stewart wool rugs are, and the styles appear to go on sale often, so you might want to check back. I don't want to think about how much I paid for the last wool rug I purchased. At these prices, I am thinking about changing mine out seasonally (lol!) - thanks Martha!!
Swedish Dishcloths = Game Changers for Your Kitchen & the Planet!!
Nordhus Swedish Dishcloths ... Made in Sweden

About ...
I've purchased a few other brands of these washcloths and this Swedish import is the one I like most. They come in a multitude of colors and patterns, and also come in two sizes. I recommend the large, it's a good size for cleaning counters and dishes, the regular size is a bit small for how I like to clean.
​
These dishcloths are also a key addition to maintaining a clean and hygenic kitchen. I'm not sure what makes the difference, but some of the other brands I have tried get smelly after awhile, like a washcloth - but not these.

Why do Dishcloths get Smelly?
Regular dishcloths get smelly because proteins (found in meats & dairy products) and grease quickly embed in damp dishcloths. The damp, thick fibrous fabric creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and mold.
Swedish washcloths can be key to maintaining a clean and hygienic kitchen. The dishcloths are much thinner and specially designed to dry quickly, preventing bacteria and mold growth, ensuring that your kitchen stays clean and germ-free.
"Thick and thirsty" dishcloths are not necessarily the best option for the kitchen. No matter what you use, be sure to get out a fresh dishcloth everyday and give it a chance to dry throughout the day - ideally launder in hot water with vinegar.
