Plantish Compostable Kitchen Scrubber Sponge

Looking for a good eco sponge? This Compostable Kitchen Scrubber Sponge by the Canadian brand Plantish is a great swap for your kitchen. It feels and functions like a traditional sponge but is completely plant-based, plastic-free, and compostable.

The sponge has two sides: the white part is made of wood pulp, which is spongy and absorbent, while the yellow-brown part is made of loofah, which helps soap become sudsy. Loofah has been used for centuries before plastic was mass-produced, making it a sustainable choice for dishwashing and general cleaning.

This sponge is durable and tough on stubborn dirt, yet safe to use on non-stick cookware, copper, stainless steel, and glassware. It is non-scratch, so it won't leave marks on your dishes or kitchen surfaces. Plus, it is 100% compostable and biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly option for your home.

To use, simply soak the sponge in water and use it like a regular sponge. For care, dry it completely between uses and boil it in water to kill bacteria. When it's time to dispose of it, cut it into small pieces and compost it, or use the loofah in your garden for water retention and pest resistance.

Switching to eco sponges is important because traditional plastic sponges can take hundreds of years to break down and shed microplastics into our water systems. By choosing this compostable sponge, you are making a positive impact on the environment while keeping your home clean.
