 Description 

The sisal and wood pulp sponge is one of the best eco-friendly dish cleaning sponges on the market. This plant-based sponge is strong and durable, and a much greener choice compared to traditional kitchen sponges.

Why should you make the switch?


Your traditional kitchen sponges are derived from virgin polyurethane, an oil-based plastic made from the burning of fossil fuels. On top of this they are then packaged in more virgin plastic! Bleach, assorted sulphates and a whole slew of nasty chemicals are also put into traditional sponges.
-
The anti-bacterial properties of traditional sponges are also usually enhanced with harmful chemicals like triclosan, negatively affecting aquatic ecosystems when you throw them away, especially algae that other animals depend on. Triclosan has now been classed as a cancer-causing pesticide. These traditional sponges are very synthetic and toxic, releasing harmful microplastics and toxins into the water supply when you clean.

Why is the sisal and wood pulp sponge any better?


The sisal and wood pulp sponge is packaged in plastic-free packaging and the sponge itself is derived from natural and recycled materials.
-
The scourer is made from a biodegradable viscose fibre, using recycled sisal fibres, a durable plant-based alternative to virgin polyurethane! This means that after its long life it can be composted, completely biodegrading within 6 months.
-
The manufacturing process of the sisal sponge is free from triclosan and other nasty chemicals, making the sponge much more environmentally friendly.
-

The sisal sponge can hold up to 10x its own weight in water. It is very long-lasting and durable, out-living many traditional kitchen sponges. 

How to care for my sponge?

Rinse your sisal sponge with hot water after each use and leave it to air dry. This way it will always dry to a natural odour.

    1. The Coconut Fibre Cleaning Brush

    This anti-scratch cleaning brush is a completely plastic-free cleaning brush, perfect for cleaning stubborn dirt and stains on the dishes. The bristles are made from coconut hairs, known as coir husks. The handle is made from wood, making this brush a 100% natural cleaning supply for the dishes.

    2. Compostable Cellulose Sponges

    If you would prefer a sponge without a scourer, then you should try the compostable cellulose sponges. These sponges do not have a scourer and are made from 100% wood pulp. Free from plastic, bleach, petrol and many other nasties. Each sponge can absorb and retain up to 10 times its own weight in water and can last through many tough cleaning jobs!

    3. Coconut Scrub Pad

    The coconut scrub pad is made from 100% coconut hairs, also known as coir husks. This anti-scratch scrub pad is naturally antibacterial and the perfect alternative to using a scrourer derived from a viscose fibre.

    4. Coir & Wood Pulp Sponge

    The coir and wood pulp sponge is very similar to the sisal sponge, but instead of using sisal plant fibres, it is derived from coconut hairs, also known as coir husks. The coir sponge has a clean manufacturing process and it is biodegradable and very durable. It is one of the best eco sponges on the market right now. It is also a customer favourite!
