SWEDISH DISHCLOTHS

We’ve been huge fans of Swedish Dishcloths for centuries. OK, at least several years. But today, more and more people are aware of the practicality and environmental benefits of these super-absorbent cleaner-uppers. They’re perfect for counters, stainless steel, glass, dishes, sundry smudges from one end of the house to the other, and can be used with your favorite cleaning solution. Machine washable—each one provides months of good use, replacing countless rolls of paper towels.

We’ve handpicked the quotes on our dishcloths by teaming up with the popular Instagrammers Live From Snack Time. They are dedicated collectors of the hilarious, honest and wise things kids say.

Our summer catalog lands in your lap on Blue Q’s 35th birthday. We debuted at the New York Stationery Show in May 1988, with one product, the Flat Cat, and decorated our 10' x 10' booth with dumpster finds, all painted yellow. It looked like a surreal apartment that a posse of cats had commandeered. Maybe someday these props will be in Blue Q’s retrospective at the Smithsonian. Happy Birthday, Flat Cat!
