Hi, I'm Maria. I grew up just outside Norrköping, Sweden — where the original Wettex dishcloth was invented — and it was always in my grandparents' kitchen, my parents' kitchen, and now mine. When I moved to the U.S., nothing else compared, so I started bringing them over myself. Today, Swedish Dishcloth Store is a family business run from Geneva, Illinois, built around the cloths I grew up with.
