Why Pop-up Sponges?

Why are cellulose sponges better than plastic ones?🧐

  1. 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)
  2. traditional sponges can shed microplastics which can make their way into our water cycle and end up in our rivers, oceans and drinking water

Care Tips

Ideally dry completely between uses

  • boil in water to kill bacteria
  • avoid soaking in water
  • place away from high heat or flames

Disposal

  • cut in small pieces, then place in the green bin to compost or directly compost in the backyard
  • loofah can also be used like coconut fibre in the garden, excellent at water retention, growing seedlings, creating a potting mix, pest resistance, and use as bedding in worm bins
