Reusable Dishwashing Sponges: time to upgrade from your regular kitchen plastic sponge
WHY?
Most discussion about kitchen sponges is around the number of bacteria they can harbor. A study that found some sponges to contain more bacteria than a toilet bowl sent people scurrying to buy more sponges and change them more often.
Sure, the bacteria issue is a very good point, but what about the environment?
How often do you change your kitchen sponge – once, twice a week? Imagine that being repeated millions of times each week around the world. It’s a lot of waste, especially given that so many sponges are made from plastics.
There’s an added environmental danger with many synthetic sponges these days; often they are impregnated with chemicals such as Triclosan. Triclosan is an antibacterial and antifungal agent and is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency as being a pesticide.
Aside from increasing evidence linking triclosan to health problems, it is also believed to destroy fragile aquatic ecosystems; especially algae that other animals may depend on – either directly or indirectly.
As sewerage and wastewater treatment plants cannot remove triclosan and the compound remains stable for long periods of time; it’s posing an increasing problem in our waterways – it’s now one of the most common man-made chemicals found in U.S. streams.
Are you convinced now? Why join our side though?
Our sponges are made of antibacterial microfiber. Strong and durable, they will resist tears and leaks even after prolonged use. These high-quality sponges have resisted being tested and twisted over 10000 without deformation.
This design gives you superior control, meaning you can handle soapy, slippery, and wet glassware and crockery with ease.
They are double-sided, one being great for scrubbing, the other one can be used for wiping and cleaning.
