Why are cellulose sponges better than plastic ones?

  • kitchen sponges are exposed to hundreds of different types of bacteria and experts recommend changing them once a week, which is problematic because plastic kitchen sponges take thousands of years to break down. it's recommended to use cellulose sponges which can be sanitized/disinfected in hot water (not recommended for plastic sponges)
  • traditional sponges can shed micro plastics which can make their way into our water cycle and end up in our rivers, oceans and drinking water

Dry: 11 x 9cm or 4.33 x 3.54in

Plantish grows with folks who are exploring a vegan, plastic-free, plant-based way of living. From production to packaging, they intentionally explore low-impact, plant-based materials that perform better than plastic. Being makers themselves, they also work with other makers in Canada & US to develop zero waste products. Through trial and error, they establish best practices of using, caring and disposing of the products to share with their community.

Care Instructions

When the soaking is done, simply hang the sponge on the wooden wall hook to dry.

- ideally dry completely between uses
- boil in water to kill bacteria
- avoid soaking in water
- place away from high heat or flames

At the end of its life dispose by cutting into small pieces, then place in the green bin to compost or directly compost in the backyard.

- loofah can also be used like coconut fiber in the garden, excellent at water retention, growing seedlings, creating a potting mix, pest resistance, and use as bedding in worm bins
