Humble Suds — Compostable Sponge Set

A kitchen sponge that goes in the compost bin, not the landfill.

A set of three sponges made from the loofah plant, a gourd that dries into a fibrous natural scrubber. They arrive flat and compact, then expand once wet. The fiber is firm enough to scrub dishes, sinks, stovetops and tubs, but non-abrasive, so it will not scratch cookware or enamel. When a sponge wears out, it composts.

Who this is for

• You are tired of throwing away plastic sponges every couple of weeks
• You want a scrubber that will not scratch cast iron enamel or glass
• You are building a plastic-free kitchen one item at a time
• You like a sponge that dries fast and does not hold that sour smell

Details

• Set of three compostable loofah sponges
• Expand when wet; rinse and wring after use, let dry between uses
• For dishes, sinks, stovetops, tubs and tile
• Fully compostable at end of life
