FAQ Clards
Q1: What exactly is a Clard?
A: A Clard is a unique greeting card that transforms into a reusable cleaning cloth. After enjoying the card, recipients can use it as a Swedish dishcloth—a sustainable, absorbent, and compostable cloth for everyday cleaning.
Q2: How do Clards work?
A: Simply write your message inside the Clard and mail it like a regular greeting card. We have found a permanent gel pen works best. Once received, the card can be used as a cleaning cloth by wetting it—the card’s printed sentiment stays, and the material becomes soft and super absorbent.
Q3: What are Clards made from?
A: Clards are made from a blend of natural cellulose and cotton, the same materials used in Swedish dishcloths. This makes them durable, biodegradable, and compostable.
Q4: Are Clards environmentally friendly?
A: Yes! Clards are designed to replace thousands of paper towels, reducing waste. They are reusable, machine washable, and fully compostable at the end of their life.
Q5: How long does a Clard last?
A: With regular use and care, a Clard can last for several months—often replacing the use of up to 3,000 paper towels.
Q6: How do I clean my Clard after using it?
A: You can wash your Clard in the top rack of your dishwasher or in the washing machine. Just air dry after washing—do not tumble dry.

A: Absolutely! Clards are designed to be mailed just like a regular greeting card. Each Clard comes with its own envelope.
