Pride Sponge Cloth
The original Ten and Co. plastic-free dishcloth, the Swedish Sponge Cloth, in our Pride print—inspired by The Rainbow Railroad.
ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

Founded in 2006 as a volunteer-run organization, Rainbow Railroad has helped safely relocate 3,100 LGBTQI+ individuals and are on track to providing over 10,000 individuals with support. With the purchase of each Pride Sponge Cloth $3.00 is donated to Rainbow Railroad.

your impact
We believe that small actions change the world. With every sponge cloth, an average household of 2-3 people can eliminate the use of up to 40+ paper towel rolls yearly.
So what does that mean?
When cutting back on the use of paper towels, you are eliminating the use of plastic packaging, r educing the demand for paper that can contribute to deforestation, habitat loss and wildlife endangerment, and romoting the use of reusable products and a sustainable way of living!
Incredible right?
