Eco-Sponge - Dual-Sided Cellulose & Loofah 2-Pack
Here is a little thing we feel strongly about: the bright green-and-yellow sponge sitting on most kitchen sinks is made from plastic foam. Every time you scrub, it sheds tiny bits of microplastic that rinse down the drain and end up in our rivers and soil, where they stick around for a very long time. We made this sponge to give that one the boot.
One side is soft cellulose, a natural wood-based material that has been used in sponges for generations. It is great for soaping up dishes, wiping counters, and everyday messes. Flip it over and you get a coarse layer of loofah, the same fast-growing plant you can grow in a garden, ready to take on baked-on food and stubborn pans. Two textures in one little sponge, and not a scrap of plastic in sight.
- Two sides in one: soft cellulose for everyday wiping, coarse loofah for tough scrubbing
- Made entirely from natural, compostable materials
- No plastic and no PLA, just cellulose and loofah
- Held together with cotton stitching, no glue
- A plastic-free swap for the standard foam kitchen sponge
These sponges ship dry, so give yours a good soak before the first use. A dry sponge can tear easily, and the loofah side will plump up and soften once it is wet. Use the smooth cellulose side for dishes, glasses, and counters, and the rougher loofah side for pots, pans, and dried-on food.
Rinse it well after each use and wring it out, then stand it somewhere it can air-dry between jobs. Letting it dry out keeps it fresh and helps it last longer. When it starts to look worn, retire it to the compost and reach for the second one in your pack.
Natural cellulose (a wood-based fiber) on the soft side and natural loofah plant on the scrubbing side, stitched together with cotton thread. No plastic, no PLA, and no glue.
Each sponge measures roughly 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" x 1" thick. It ships dry and expands a little on the loofah side once wet.
The 2-packs come wrapped in a recyclable paper sleeve. Single sponges ship without the sleeve.
When it is worn out, drop it in your compost bin or bury it in the garden and it will biodegrade naturally. No landfill and no microplastics left behind.
