Natural Fiber Sponge

Zero-waste, Natural Fiber Sponges - the perfect alternative to plastic dish sponges. Crafted from wood pulp and loofah, these reusable two-sided sponges get the job done while reducing your environmental impact. 

The soft side is spongy and absorbent, made of wood pulp; while the scrubby side is made of loofah which is slightly abrasive, and helps to create lather. Loofah was used by different cultures for centuries before plastic was mass-produced.

Replace traditional plastic sponges for dishwashing and general household cleaning!

Features

• durable: tough for stubborn dirt and safe to use on non-stick cookware, copper and stainless steel, glassware, and much more
• non-scratch: loofah is a gentle abrasive, they won't leave any scratches or marks on your dishes, pans, kitchen counters, windows, etc.
• eco-friendly: 100% compostable and biodegradable; no microplastics created
• quick-drying: helps prevent microbial growth
  

Use and Care 

1. soak the sponge in soapy water
   
2. use as you would any regular sponge to clean dishes, countertops and other surfaces
3. rinse and squeeze out excess water; let dry completely between uses
4. boil in water (~5 min) to sanitize
5. avoid soaking in water for too long - it needs to dry out to inhibit growth of microbes (bacteria and mold)

Disposal 

• cut into small pieces, then add to compost
• loofah can also be used like coconut fiber in the garden - excellent at water retention and pest resistance, growing seedlings, creating a potting mix, and as bedding in earthworm bins
