Description
The Vaxbo Lin 100% Linen Disktrasa Dishcloth in Blue is an authentic Scandinavian kitchen essential, masterfully crafted in Sweden by Vaxbo Lin AB. Measuring 13" x 13" (33 x 33 cm), this premium dishcloth combines heritage craftsmanship with modern utility, offering a sustainable alternative to standard cotton or microfiber cloths.
Unmatched Absorbency and Craftsmanship
Linen is naturally superior at moisture management. The hollow flax fibers absorb water rapidly and dry quickly, preventing the damp environment where sour kitchen odors thrive. Woven at Vaxbo Lin’s historic mill, this disktrasa features two finished selvedge edges and two precision-sewn hems, ensuring it resists fraying. It becomes exceptionally soft when wet, making it safe for drying fine glassware without scratching or leaving lint.
Washing, Sanitizing, and Care
- Washing: Machine wash at 60°C (140°F). The rich blue color will not bleed or fade.
- Sanitizing: Safely boil the dishcloth in a saucepan of water to sanitize it without weakening the resilient flax fibers.
- Shrinkage: The cloth will shrink by approximately 7% to 9% during its first wash, which naturally tightens the weave and enhances absorbency.
- Drying: Reshape while damp and hang to dry. Avoid high-heat tumble dryers to prolong fiber life.
Why Choose Linen Over Cotton?
While cotton dishcloths quickly degrade and retain odors, the Vaxbo Lin disktrasa is a durable, long-term investment. It is fully biodegradable, exceptionally long-lasting, and performs better with every single wash, making it a beautiful and functional addition to any eco-conscious home.

Linen Dish cloth
I've been using these dish cloths for years. They are wonderful! They never sour even if I don't squeeze the excess water from them. They last many years and when they become unusable, I cut them up and put them in my compost!
