Ages ago I discovered linen dishcloths. They scrub better than cotton, absorb better, and last longer. Unlike sponges, which quickly become kind of yucky, you just toss them in with the next load of laundry and lay them out flat to dry. They dry very quickly. Anyway, I got them from Linen Home Studio on Etsy. LHS is located in Vilnius, Lithuania. I liked them so much I shared my stash with my daughter’s household. She has a sponge phobia, too. Eventually my cloths began to show their age, and I ordered more from LHS, but somebody started using tariffs pretty aggressively, and many countries, including Lithuania, stopped shipping to the USA. So my order got waylaid and eventually lost. Irena (at LHS) promptly issued a full refund. A few months later I consulted with the Google, and the Google contended that shipping from Lithuania was getting through if a major shipper was used. So we tried again. Again the shipment got lost en route. Irena asked to give it one more try, and I am pleased to say my dishcloths have made it to Austin. I am elated and thankful to Irena. Linen dishcloths appear to be a Lithuanian solution. I can find no other source. I find that bizarre in this world where so many of us are looking for earth friendly, biodegradable products. I am glad I can keep supporting Linen Home Studio and singing their praises!
