That szmata will soon be covered in every substance known to humankind
Tylko 3 minuty…
I got one of those but I’m not polish.
Just found out how polish I am
I am Portuguese and I live in Poland. started doing this after being here automatically. never did this in Portugal and I don’t know why I do it now and when it started.
Damn. It’s the same in my kitchen. And I’m not even a Pole, but also it wasn’t a thing before I moved to Poland.
I can confirm. 99,99% of Poles take care of this tradition. Those who don’t are suspicious.
You akshually clean things with it? I though sciereczka is used as hand towel/kitchen glove hybrid.
Or Canadian house.
I thought that someone broke into our house and took a photo because that looks exactly the same. And I’m Czech… Great nations think alike.
This is an unofficial polish tradition, just like trash can under a sink.
Also a thing in Denmark
Holy shit this is a polish thing????
My mom is half polish. We always did this. I never even noticed it not being done elsewhere. Whattttttt
I’d say alot of americans do that, or atleast the ones from my state
*every house
My house is polish now
Ah yes I now declare myself a Central American as Polish 🍺kurwa🇵🇱
Never not seen this in a North American house
same in Lithuania ))
Must be my polish roots, everyone in my family does it. We all live in Germany.
Szmata na piekarniku, śmietnik pod zlewem, buty w przedpokoju
Jak tego nie przestrzegasz to nie nazywaj się polakiem
This is every fuckin house regardless of where you live
American here. In my house, it’s always two towels on the oven handle. I don’t understand people who don’t do this. I do housekeeping for a couple of people who leave their towels folded on the counter…ummm, okay? But then how do they dry?
Edit: maybe it’s something I got genetically from my Polish grandma.
it’s naked without it
I think this is pretty normal also in the whole Balkan region. My family always does this (Slovene), my husband’s family always does it (Serbian), Croatian/Bosnian friends also always do it. There is a difference though in Bosnia and Serbia…there also has to be a crochet napkin under/over the TV. 🤣
Slovakia too
I always have this cause my dad always did this cause his mom always did this. Since it was around the Pittsburgh area which has a bunch of polish and hungarians, I wonder if it started from that. They’re 6 feet under so I can’t ask though.
I’m Mexican, and I guess I’m Polish too.
Ahahah same goes for turkey too. Like in every house
To people who do not do this:
where do you keep your ściereczkas then??
Personally attacked.
German here, I do that too …but my family has polish roots
Not Polish but pretty much every household in Michigan does this that I’ve seen (myself included). Polish culture and language does have a pretty strong influence here, though, so I wonder if that’s where it comes from here!
Mexicans as well
Same in Ukraine, hah
Who doesn’t do this?
This isn’t unique to Poland.

Wha? Doesn’t every country do this?
Its not just polish thing, its mostly slav people thing. Im from Ukraine and everyone I know does this so… Yeah.
