Meet SPRUCE. The superstar eco-friendly dishcloth doing good things for the planet for these great reasons!
1. Streak and lint-free
2. Super absorbent
3. Wash in the washing machine or drop drawer in your dishwasher
4. Quick-drying & hygienic
5. Made from 100% natural and renewable materials
6. Biodegradable
7. Home compostable
SPRUCE is the ORIGINAL SWEDISH cloth made from 100% natural plant-based renewable materials: cellulose blended with cotton.
SPRUCE cloths are made from natural materials and are 100% biodegradable, while microfiber cloths are made from synthetic materials (see Wikipedia). We have found that a SPRUCE cloth absorbs liquids better than a microfiber cloth and as such is superior for kitchen use.
Durable enough for repeated machine wash, or top rack of your dishwasher, they are printed with water-based inks and are fully compostable. Each cloth will last you 9-12 months.
One SPRUCE cloth replaces 15 rolls of paper towels, saving you money and reducing landfill waste. They soften in contact with water, can absorb 15 x their weight and they dry fast so they don’t breed bacteria or smell like sponges.
Let’s reduce the tons of old dishcloths and paper towels from finishing up in landfill each year. Reducing waste makes them fabulous for boating and camping where it’s important to travel light, minimise space and be environmentally responsible.
We have over 15 emerging artists collaborating on this range of designs, and 6 of our cloths donate back to Eco Charity groups. Your purchase supports both these groups x
The Green Collective proudly have no additional packaging on their cloths and they are not individually wrapped reducing their impact on the planet even more.
If you wish to sterilise SPRUCE, ensure it is WET and place into the microwave for 2min. Take care handling it as it will be very hot.
SPRUCE are printed with water-based environmentally friendly ink.
Size: 17 x 20 cm
Tips
- Wet to soften your SPRUCE cloth before using.
- You can use the cloth with or without cleaning products. Harsh cleaning products will not remove the print colour. Hot, soapy water will remove traces and smells from most of the sauces, spills and kitchen accidents. Don’t forget the benefits of hanging the cloth in the sunshine.
- After a few months in the kitchen, you may choose to ‘downgrade’ the cloth to indoor cleaning. One tip is to chop off a small corner of that cloth to remind you that it is no longer for food preparation. As you take that cloth to the toilet or garage, another corner chopped off will ensure it doesn’t come back to the main house.
- Other uses: kitchen, they love stainless steel and granite, bathroom, streak-free windows, mirrors and glassware, polish silverware without abrasion, dusting, pet messes, car cleaning, under pot plants and more.
- Home Compost: An independent test showed a cloth completely breaking down in 5 weeks

AoNZ prints are great as travel/post-friendly gifts for overseas friends and whānau. Light, durable, and can be fit in around other items in the suitcase/parcel. Practical and beautiful!

I got sent the wrong one but I may have selected the wrong lime print. Easy to use. Did smell a little after washing in the dishwasher for me, could try washing machine. Pattern has faded.
Philippa (verified owner) –

My family and I love this lil gem! Soaks up anything and rinses clean. Chuck in the dishwasher and it comes out beautifully clean and soft. We have been using another expensive brand and have become disappointed. Will be getting more!
Deb (verified owner) –
Really surprised how great this dish cloth is. Really absorbent, rinses out super clean and doesn’t seem to absorb odors and get smelly. Has gone through the washer a number of times now and is still fabulous!
Michelle Keat (verified owner) –
I love these dishcloths and knowing I am reducing waste by using them. The colourful designs brighten up the kitchen and I love choosing different ones each time I buy them.
Carol (verified owner) –
I love these dishcloths. They wash incredibly well and when I eventually wear them out they go into the compost. Ordered a whole bunch and my current fave is the cheetah!
Jo (verified owner) –
LOVE LOVE LOVE – wash well, absolutely NOOO smell even after a week of using (and washing out)!! Getting some more todaY!
MikaylaHolman (verified owner) –
I love these cloths so much! I’ve even converted my Mum, who uses these now too. Great value, last such a long time, and even when they’re no longer any good for the kitchen, they’re still usable for cleaning the bathroom/shower etc for a while longer! Great being able to pick a pattern you’re in the mood for/that will ‘suit’ the kitchen.
aguspat (verified owner) –
Can’t recommend these enough! I got one and bought two more shortly afterwards. They absorb like crazy, don’t stink and you can just throw them in the wash when they need a clean. Amazing! Will never go back to “normal” dish rags.
Kristy (verified owner) –
Love these. They don’t stink like other dish cloths and they’ve got cool patterns on them. Super absorbent too!
Loreta (verified owner) –
I was given one of these dish cloths as a Christmas present. I used it and was so impressed with it’s size and wiping/cleaning result that I went and purchased five more! Great designs to choose from and it washes really well for future use. Highly recommend them.

Fabulous!
Shandi (verified owner) –
Awesome cloths we are pretty hard on ours but these hold up perfectly with no bits falling off and still intact. I use one as a bathroom cleaner too and find it leaves my sink sparkling
elizardous (verified owner) –
These make great Christmas presents! Because they are so colorful you don’t need to wrap them, just tie around some Christmas ribbon and add a Christmas tag. An affordable way to let someone you care for them all year round.
Nikki 82 (verified owner) –
Awesome cloths, I use them for cleaning throughout the house. They last for ages and have the best designs!
Ddavison (verified owner) –
These cloths are my favourite! They work so well in the kitchen and hold up well with a few washes. I will never buy sponges again!
Harriet (verified owner) –
In love with my new cloths! Nice to finally find a natural fibre, compostable cloth that works. Awesome to have them turn up unpackaged too
Elise Cotter (verified owner) –
Love my new dish cloth and can’t wait to buy more. Friendly to the environment, able to wash in the machine, doesn’t fall apart and leave bits all over the place, super absorbent and looks funky!
livigonerunning (verified owner) –
LOVE IT! Even came back ans got another one!
Vyvyan (verified owner) –
So happy with these dish cloths. So absorbent and so far I haven’t had any problems with them staining. They wash up so well.
Alyse (verified owner) –
I am so impressed with the SPRUCE cloth I ordered! For Plastic Free July I have been trying to make small changes to some of our household products and a new washcloth was on the list. I have two children under 3 1/2 years and they make a lot of food mess!! I have found with the SPRUCE cloth I no longer need to use any cleaning sprays to clean the high chair tray…. blueberries, pasta sauce, melted cheese – it removed it all with just water! They are so absorbent I no longer need to use paper towels. And they don’t hold odour and easy to wash in the dishwasher! I would highly recommend and will be buying more to use around the home!
Pamela (verified owner) –
Loving these Spruce cloths. Am finding they clean up so much better than my microfibre cloths that I am grabbing these out of the machine as soon as they are washed! Super absorbent for spills as well. Will definitely be buying more!
Amy (verified owner) –
LOVE these! I bought three, they are so lovely to use, go through the washing machine well. So great for the environment 🌏🌿
Kyes (verified owner) –
Love it! I got the funky dots and can’t wait to get a few more. It feels a bit weird when fully dry but these are the best!
Keri (verified owner) –
Totally awesome. I wasn’t convinced they’d be tough enough (we’re pretty hard on our clothes) but a month in and my cloth looks as strong and pretty as new (if a little discoloured). Our usual dishcloth would be in landfill by now. I love the cool designs too.
Amber Rae (verified owner) –
I LOVE my dish cloth and can’t wait to order more! The work amazingly and wash up great in the washing machine. Ive had mine for a few months and it still looks new. Very happy with this product!
Angela (verified owner) –
Guilt free cleaning with these babies! Kind on the environment, work a treat and, funky patterns – my fav is the cactus!
Susan –
These are absolutely THE BEST dish clothes you will ever own or use, they are the perfect size, super absorbent and don’t break down leaving little bits of ick all over your bench. I have had mine for about a year and even through repeated washing in the washing machine they are perfect. Great value for money and awesome for the environment.
