Natural Kitchen Sponge - Biodegradable Compostable Cellulose and Coconut Scrubber Sponge - Pack of 12 Eco Friendly Sponges for Dishes

They look nice, dont get yucky or any unpeasant smell, lasts a long, long time, and take lots of abuse from me, plus they help the environment. To be honest, I like that, but if they didnt work better than other sponges on the market I would not buy them. They never scratch my pans, nonstick or stainless, but they do get them clean. Easy to rinse and they really get a lot of wear from me. I use them not only for dishes, but for cabinets, walls and woodwork, I wet one, put it in the microwave every so often for about a minute and this serves two purposes, One it disinfects the sponge and secondly, if you cool it for a minute or so, you will be surprised how easy it is to clean inside your microwave from the wet heat. When new, be sure to wet it thoroughly, as the coconut fibers tend to be a bit stiff. Afterwards, they soften just a bit, enough to feel comfy and squishy and clean everything beautifully.

These sponges are painful to use. They have bits of fibrous wood in the scrubber top that are so rigid they stab my hands whenever I squeeze the sponge! Yesterday I got jabbed so hard in my thumb that it still hurts today. “Stabbing by sponge” is definitely not a hazard I ever anticipated needing to endure. I would give these sponges 1 star but I do really appreciate that they came in cardboard packaging. No plastic whatsoever. That’s awesome. I’m going to keep them to honor that gesture of eco-thoughtfulness but will not buy these stabby devils again.

Very absorbent; odor-free; rinses well, dries fast. Compostable natural materials a big plus. Too soon to rate durability, but seems sturdy.

We all go through sponges pretty quickly. These last so long and are better for the environment. I do wish they were a little cheaper, but you pay for quality~!

This is the second time Ive ordered these sponges. I am able to use one a month, and I like that they go into the compost bin! They are very durable and work just as well as non-compostable sponges. Will continue to purchase.

More durable and remarkably resistant to the nasty smell that plastic pads get. I thought this was an environmental compromise, but its better than regular pads.

I love that these are biodegradable. They clean dishes great and they arr durable.

Just got a couple of weeks ago and so far they have worked well. I change out sponges frequently and these withstood daily use for two weeks without falling apart or starting to smell. Once done with them in kitchen, I transition them to household cleaning. They do stain easily with tomato based foods and heavy grilling residue but it does not affect their performance. The scrubbing side is very durable and works well.

i wasnt a big fan at first cause thought they were a bit pricey but for a bio sponge it does the job very well. I dont use it much to scrub as i use a steel srrubby or a seasoned pan which doesnt stick. Or i simply let it soak. THese are very durable tho

This is the first time Ive tried natural sponges with natural scrubbers on them. Im impressed with their longevity and endurance. I do have to use a little more elbow grease than I did with the green plastic scratchers, however, I love that its all natural and that I can just put it in the compost pile after they are done. So far, I havent worn one out yet, however. And the scrubby part stays well attached to the sponge so far.
