Organic Dishwashing Sponges - Scrub - Scourer | Natural Loofah Plant Fibrous | Zero Waste Kitchen Accessory | 100% Biodegradable (Pack of 5)

As previous reviewers have commented they are not as flexible as non-natural sponges but this feels like a small price to pay for saving the planet! I have just started using a washing-up cloth too which solves the hard to reach things like glasses. The one I am using stays clean is not showing any sign of wear and has already lasted better than the non-natural equivalent. I think it scrubs more effectively and more gently for bottom of pan type cleaning. I am a convert! Maybe I should buy them for all my friends for Christmas!

I was not convinced about them at the beginning but that quickly changed. It takes 3-5 days for the sponge to soften enough but once that is done they perform really well. The last much more than conventional plastic sponges and you can wash them in the dishwasher and they came back as almost new. I purchased them in February and so far I have only sued two so far. I would definitely recommend this amazing and eco-friendly product

Doesn't absorb well so loose washing up liquid quickly and water doesn't soften it to be able to comfortablywash with. Hard to wash-up with so have to juggle between the sponges. But when it works it works well.

Item arrived quickly and is of good quality although wouldn't re-order as in hindsight, don't like using the small loofah for washing dishes - it's too stiff and I worry about using on glasses or similar, so not a versatile product but this is no reflection on the seller.

The 'sponge' expands when wet and has done a fab job even on bad tea stains in my mugs. It isn't quite as flexible as a sponew so I am having to work a bit harder (I am a bit of a wuss! ) We are a family of 5 so there is a lot of washing up and it is coping well. It says on the box it is supposed to last 4-6 weeks and I cannot comment on this as I have only been using it a week or so, but for now it is holding up well. Am letting it drain and dry by hooking it over the tap when not in use and so far it isn't smelling or showino any signs of falling apart. Very pleased!!

Love this eco-friendly alternative to sponges, they look lovely hanging on my taps and work just as well as plastic sponges - good for scrubbing and good on delicate items too. I hang them up to dry to keep them hygienic, and they go stiff, but as soon as they get wet they soften up again. No negatives to these beauties and they’ll last for ages!

These are absolutely brilliant. I have been looking for an environmentally friendly alternative to washing-up sponges for ages, but found that other reusable ones not only end up in landfill but tend to get smelly quickly. These have a naturally open texture, which means they dry properly and don’t smell. I can’t understand the reviewers who found them too stiff. I have had no trouble using them for everything from saucepans to wine glasses. They arrive flat and stiff but soften up in water (by which I mean a dunk in the washing-up bowl, not any special soaking process). I will be using these for all my washing up from now on.

I do like these, but they don't clean as well as regular sponges and they are certainly not good for stubborn stains. I use a washing up brush for harder to clean pans. Although not perfect, I would buy them again!
