6 Pack Natural Washing Up Sponge, UK Brand Eco Friendly Kitchen Dish Cleaning Sponges, Compostable Cellulose & Coconut Eco Sponges & Scourers, Biodegradable Non Scratch for Heavy Duty Scrubbing

I'm a huge fan of these kinds of sponges, been using them for close to a year now from various manufacturers. We don't have a dishwasher and everything gets handwashed, so we're pretty hard on our sponges. These last us about a month before we replace with a new one just for sanitation sake. I'd run it through the dishwasher to sanitize it if we had one. We compost, so it goes right into the bin with the rest of the scraps and out into the pile for the harden. The sponges are still in good shape when we compost them, but again it's just for hygiene that we replace them. I love that it doesn't shed that nasty green stuff from the scouring side of regular sponges all over my dishes. We're on septic up here in Scotland and I'm very careful about what goes down the drain. I know no plastics are going down into the tank with these little dynamos. The sponges are a bit stiff at first, but they soften up with use. Cleaning power is GREAT! They really tackle tough messes and I have not noticed any scratches on our dishses. They do not fall apart at all, unlike the cheap supermarket sponges. They are nice and thick and sturdy as well, but not as thick as the supermarket sponges. One box lasts us half a year and the garden gets fed, too!

I purchased ( two orders ) these after realising how bad plastic scourers were for the environment..They are biodegradable and made from plant resources. They work fantastically for scrubbing the hard parts off pots,and the soft part for dishes. Perfect item. They last a very long time before a new one is needed.

I love these and much prefer them to the ordinary supermarket sponges. They are a bit stiffer than the normal supermarket ones but for that, they last longer and the scouring pad side seems to last much longer. I like their shape and that they are not as thick as the supermarket ones. I have used my first sponge for two weeks now and the scourer is still like new, not messy and grubby looking as the supermarket ones. It’s very effective getting burnt bits off pots and pans and the white side, I guess that’s the cellulose side is very soft and perfect for glasses and wiping. And I love that they are fully biodegradable. It’s a win-win and I will re-order them again.

I have recently began looking at natural alternatives to the plastic cra1 I would normally buy from the supermarket. Being all natural, I didn’t expect much and they are on the pricy side. However, I’ve had one on the go now for weeks and still holding strong, very good at its job and obviously more environmentally friendly. So in all, given how often the cheaper ones fall apart, these actually represent much better value and a perfectly useable product. Don’t think I’d ever be reviewing a dish sponge, but felt it was worth saying how good these are.

This is a great product, only criticism is the scrub part is not very flexible when trying to squeeze water out of it. Could be because they are new. It’s gray that it’s not plastic.

Bought these as an upgrade to the cheap green and yellow sponges (you know the ones). Was fed up of the green scour side coming off all over my plates and glasses. These last a lot longer and you don't get any bits coming off. They are a bit stiffer when you first use them, but get softer after continuous use. They don't seem to stain or clog as easy as the cheap sponges. So less likely to have a sponge full of porridge residue or a red one after Bolognese! I've been using for a few weeks now and there is no bad smell. They are made from wood cellulose and coconut fibre and are biodegradable.

These are good quality - have used them for around a week now - haven't yet fully tested for the anti-scratch properties of the coconut husk. The cellulose part is quite absorbent, so that's able to hold any washing up liquid that was placed on it. They look as if they're relatively durable and haven't started fluffing up yet. Size-wise they're good. One thing is that the coconut part of the sponge is quite thick which means that it's not quite as flexible as say, a Spontex sponge. however - given the absence of plastic I'll continue to take that trade off and use these if they continue to function in the same way.

I was wondering what the coarse husk of mature coconuts was being held by, it looked a bit suspicious and possibly a synthetic material. Ecolving replied to my questions and explained it was because it's held together by natural rubber latex! So it seems to be genuinely plastic free which is truly amazing! The sponge is great and does the exact same job we expect a sponge with scourer to do. So far, it has lasted well. It is stiff for a few days, but with use it becomes more flexible while retaining its ability to scrub, sponge and clean. I am 100% pleased with it.
