Two cellulose sponges with a natural scrubbing layer made from crushed walnut, almond and pine nut shells. They clean all kinds of surfaces without scratching, and no plastic goes down the drain.
- Natural fruit shell scrubbing layer, no plastic
- Cellulose sponge
- Scrubs without scratching
- Scrubbing layer won't peel away from the sponge
- Made in France
The shells come from the food industry and are used untreated, coated straight onto the sponge, so there's no plastic in the scrubbing side at all. It's tough enough for everyday washing up and gentle enough for most surfaces.
Most standard scrubbing sponges have a green layer made of plastic fibres, which wears down into tiny bits that wash away with the water. Here the scrubbing side is ground nut shell, and the sponge side is cellulose made from wood pulp, so what wears off is natural material.
Because the shell grains are bonded directly onto the cellulose, the scrubbing layer stays put rather than separating from the sponge as it ages, which is often what finishes off an ordinary sponge.
Use the shell side for plates, pots, worktops, hobs and the bath, and the soft side for wiping down and soaking up spills. Cellulose dries out hard when it's not in use and softens again as soon as it's wet, which is normal.
How to use
Wet the sponge, add washing-up liquid and scrub. Rinse after use, squeeze out the water and leave it to dry somewhere airy so it stays fresh. Replace when worn.
Materials
Cellulose from wood pulp and regenerated cellulose. Scrubbing layer of crushed fruit shells: one third each walnut, almond and pine nut.
