eplanita Natural Dishwashing Sponges (6 Pack), Kitchen Eco Scrub Scourer, Natural Loofah Plant, Biodegradable and Zero Waste

I love these dish sponges. The regular dish sponges I was using kept smelling only after a week of use so decided to switch it up. I knew I wanted something eco friendly and discovered these. They are initially hard but as soon as they are submerged in water they soften up and are brilliant at cleaning the dishes. The first set of dishes were covered in tomato soup, my old sponges would stain red after doing this. But these sponges clean up the dishes and the sponges are clean after use too. They last such a long time, I bought them in May and 5 weeks later I am just throwing away my first one. It doesn't smell and I have washed it twice since, and has only just developed holes. Someone mentioned you can't use these to wipe tables. Yes you can. I have a 3 year old so am always wiping up spills, these are brilliant at this. Although they are more expensive than those plastic ones, these will last more than 6 months and are biodegradable so are definitely worth the price. Can't find a single flaw.

Really like these biodegradeable scourers. They come as a very small flat item but expand with water. They work really well, getting through grease and stuck on food and they are flexible and non-scratch (suitable for non-stick frying pans etc.)I'm impressed! They are not dirt cheap, by that I mean you can get polluting plastic ones cheaper, but they last longer and they are well worth it. They work brilliantly and we all need to think of the environment more. Fantastic product I will definitely buy again.

First of all, these scourers are not at all absorbent. Where you can use a plastic sponge scourer to wipe up a quick spill, they won't do the same job. But they asre as good as the plastic sponges in every other way (except price of course - I can get 10 plastic sponge scourers for £1 in my area.) And they are so much better for the planet. They plump up and soften in water, they're easy to use, they dry out easily if you give them a squeeze after use and hang them up, and best of all they can be composted or dug into the soil without leaving anything nasty behind them.

Like the eco friendly nature, but the fact is these are subpar sponges. Doesn’t really get things stuck off pans, takes lots of elbow grease, the structure remains stiff even when very wet and used to the point of wearing out. Almost cut myself trying to clean a knife as the result—the stitched frame stayed stiff while the knife cut through the middle to my hand. Make excellent body loofahs which is what we’re now using them for. Still on the search for a good eco sponge. Might try a cellulose sponge and a little brush.

I have been looking for a natural Loofah type kitchen dishwashing sponge for ages and these fit the bill perfectly. Please be aware they are not going to scrub away burnt on food in pans or baking tins or dishes. I still use a metal wire scrubber for that. But general everyday washing up cups plates and cutlery they are brilliant. They don't scratch and are easy to rinse and clean afterwards. They should last but only time will tell I hope so, they look Ok to pop in the washing machine from time to time. The biggest benefit for me is they are not made of plastic so much better for the environment. 😊

I thought I would try these out and am delighted with them. They are long lasting, do the job of cleaning my dishes and do not have the plastic that I had in the usual sponges. They do not scour stuck on food too well, so I also use a natural brush and if baked on food a steel scourer for pots. I have washed mine by hand and rinse after every use and they remain clean and always smell fresh. Very pleased. Would recommend.

Anyone who claims they can't wash up with these sponges should take Dish Washing 101 class :) Yes they are on the stiff side for the first week but that's hardly a reason to go back to synthetic sponge to pollute environment more. Just keep the old one for any 'difficult' places for a bit longer! Great product, keeps shape, lasts and cleans as good if not better than the standard synthetic sponge.

I had previously been buying biodegradable cellulose sponges in a bid to send less to landfill, but decided to try these as I felt the cellulose sponges were a bit too soft to get a good scrub. When I first opened the packet I was surprised how flat these loofa sponges were but they swell up when you put them in water. I was worried they might be a bit too stiff for cleaning inside glasses but they’re actually quite flexible. The slightly rough texture means they’re great for cleaning pots and pans but they’re also gentle enough for glasses. My first sponge did start to tear a little after a few weeks but I think I might have caught it while cleaning a knife. Overall these are maybe a little bit pricey but they’re the best alternative to synthetic sponges that I’ve come across.

Me ha gustado, por su resistencia, el precio es bueno con todas las que vienen, hay un lado más rugoso que otro y eso se agradece, la única pega que le veo es q podría ser un poco más grande y algo más blanda.... Pero en general, volveré a comprar

yumuşak ve kullanışlı

After trying the sample they generously include in their (also fabulous) bamboo/natural bristle veggie scrubber (which I also use for dishes) I fell in love with this sponge. The loofah is softened, not hard like the whole loofahs one usually sees, making it easy to use. It’s scrubby enough to get most caked-on gook but safe for nonstick, plastic, and ceramic surfaces. It’s very absorbent, even better than most plastic/based sponges as mine didn’t leave any droplets behind, so you can use it for spills and wiping up counters, too. Haven’t had it long enough to comment on durability or smells. Even so, I think it’s a great value for an effective all around sponge that won’t add to the plastic crisis.

Utilizzo le spugne di Loofah ormai da 10 anni, ne ho provate di tanti marchi, e assolutamente posso dire che questo è il migliore. Il rapporto qualità/prezzo è ottimo, durano molto e poi si smaltiscono nell'umido. È vero, costano di più di altri marchi, ma queste hanno lato morbido/duro molto durevoli entrambi(in altri marchi, soprattutto il morbido, si sfalda in pochissimo) e non ci sono semi all'interno, cosa da me riscontrata in diversi altri marchi...per me fantastiche!

As described.
