These work just as well as your average sponge, but I have decided to try out other options, as I wish these had a more sustainable end-of-life. Since they contain recycled plastic, they cannot be composted.

These work great, decided not to repurchase because I feel there are better products out there with better end of life options.

This products work just as well as any other traditional sponge! The rough side removes any build-up on dishes easily. My only wish is that it didn’t come in plastic packaging (but I know even recycled plastic needs a use). Perhaps something like “plastic” made from potatoes or even a paper envelope would be good options.

The two sponges come wrapped in plastic but the sponges are natural. So you give and you take but they last and work exactly like your average scrubber sponge from the grocery store! I’ve also found this exact brand at Kroger but it’s more expensive there. Good product! Hope they change the packaging!

This is a great product, I just wish it came in home-compostable packaging. I’m also wondering what the end of life situation is for this product. Is it compostable itself? A step in the right direction, I’d just like to see some more sustainability information/features

These sponges are the perfect solution for dishwashing. I really wanted to just use loofahs or dish clothes but really missed the texture of a sponge. These have awesome packaging and work just like a regular sponge you’re used to using.

I got these sponges because my partner was not keen to switch away from a standard sponge for cleaning. this was our compromise. they are a good medium ground sponge, not too harsh. But they are better when paired with a pot scrapper. I do wish they were compostable and didn’t come in plastic wrap.

These sponges get the job done. They also are not an obnoxious color like most sponges are. They dry well inbetween uses too. Would recommend to anyone wanting to make the switch.

Works better than store bought sponges I think and I feel better using these than the plastic ones. When one is spent I move it to my bathroom and scrub my showers with it then toss it out. Really love these!

Hi Brittney, these sponges are not compostable at the end of their life. For a fully compostable option, we love these natural loofah sponges!

Hi! We have been informed from Full Circle that all of their Sponges are safe for nonstick pans :D! We recommend the softer side of the sponge for a longer life for the pan!

Great alternative for the standard sponge. They fall apart after a while, but you’re suppose to replace sponges frequently anyway. Use for light cleaning, not heavy duty stuff. Get a wooden pot scrubber/brush for heavy cleaning.
Comes in plastic packaging, which is disappointing.

These sponges hold up well for everyday dishwashing and will now be my go-to sponges for cleaning. Like other reviewers mentioned, I was also bummed they are wrapped in plastic, but I have a TerraCycle single-stream box that I tossed the plastic wrapper in. I also like that these sponges are white on one side, so it’s easy to see if they’re dirty/stained from sauces or other concentrated foods.

This is a great alternative to the commercial sponges that end up in landfills by the thousands each week. The appearance even appears earth friendly. I ended up using as a gift basket ‘filler’ for my boss, because I decided to go for the natural cleaning brush on this website seeing I will get multiple use out of those. Otherwise this is a good product.

I bought as an alternative to the regular plastic sponges that I was buying and so far they are holding up well, they have definitley lasted longer and are better at removing the food from my dishes.

I don’t use my sponges for everyday dishwashing (I have a net kind of cleaning cloth that I use as my regular dish cleaner) and so my sponges are more for cleaning counters, the stove and that type of thing. It’s been great for that. I think the scrubby part might be a little delicate like many cellulose sponges but I think it’s worth it, especially since these seem to have a smaller disposal footprint and for my purposes, light use, they work great!

These are great sponges. They get very sudsy & hold a lot of dish soap on them without falling apart too quickly. Also a great price!

Hi, Sam! These sponges are composed of cellulose and recycled plastic, with a walnut shell ‘scrubby’ part! If you’re looking for a fully compostable option, check out these Swedish dishcloths by Redecker or these scrubbier Brush with Bamboo Loofah Scrubbers! 🙂

Hi there! No, these sponges are not compostable, but they are made of plant-based materials. However, we do offer these sponges that are, if that’s what you’re looking for! 🙂

I really like these sponges, they are comfortable in shape, soft on one side and have a really nice scrub on the other. I was worried about them wearing down quickly, however so far they held up really nicely. If they continue to hold up so well, I will definetely repurchase as there is no need for the usual sponges with plastic.

Hi Mandy — these scrubbers are made with walnut shells and recycled plastic, therefor they are not able to be composted. Thanks for asking!

Hi Sara,
Those sponges do come in plastic packaging, but we are actively seeking out other options that will use biodegradable or other packaging options! For now, you might be interested in our other cleaning products, such as this dish brush or this small brush that comes in a ceramic soap dish. Great question!
