Why We Love Them!
A great alternative to traditional synthetic sponges made of petrochemicals, our Cellulose Sponges are super absorbent & durable.
The sponges are pretty big and if you like to get more for your money, you can cut the sponges in half and get 4 for the price of 2!
They work great on bathroom surfaces, kitchen countertops, and washing the dishes…they’re absolutely perfect for cleaning all around the house!
Each sponge can absorb and retain up to 10x of its own weight in water and can last through many tough cleaning jobs! They’re hygienic, durable, eco-friendly, reusable and fully biodegradable.
Made from 100% cellulose which is natural wood fibre. That means these wonderful sponges are 100% plastic-free – no micro plastics!
Why Swap?
Most common kitchen sponges are made from plastic and can’t be recycled or composted. They’re usually only used for a couple of weeks to clean the kitchen and kitchen appliances before they’re thrown away. Where they’ll contribute to plastic pollution for hundreds of years before eventually breaking down into microplastics.
What’s more, mass-produced synthetic sponges are all made with petroleum, bleach, assorted sulphates and a whole slew of nasty chemicals. Even after you throw old sponges away, the bacteria-killing triclosan they’re filled with negatively affects aquatic ecosystems, especially algae that other animals depend on.
But don’t worry, these cellulose sponges are a great alternative to chemical-filled plastic sponges! These sponges are made from wood fibres which are much more eco-friendly as they go through a less toxic manufacturing process and they are biodegradable too.
Looking After Your Cellulose Sponges
- To help keep your cellulose sponge free of nasty bacteria, keep it as dry as possible between uses.
- You can sterilize them by soaking them for a few minutes in boiled water, microwave heating damp sponges or pop them in the dishwasher with a drying cycle.

My new favourite sponges!!!!! I’ve used scrub daddy for a long time, but mine was starting to melt ? which I hate as its plastic! But these, made with natural wood fibres are amazing! I wasn’t expecting them to really clean anything as they felt too soft. But they clean my pots, my kitchen side and my bathroom perfectly! They also hold like a lot of water! They dry tough as well, so I know they aren’t just sitting in stagnant water building up bacteria. Huge bonus, I can throw it in my compost bin when it’s finished! It will then go to feed my vegetables in my garden ?

Never thought I’d love a sponge but these are fab! I love that you get two in a pack so one is for the bathroom one in the kitchen. They’re more than twice the size of the standard sponges you get in the supermarket and they’re also completely eco friendly which I love! They’re a lot firmer and thicker than them too so they clean better! Really recommend!!
