The ecoTru sponges are constructed using high-density white cellulose and a coarse-grade organic coconut coir scrubber. This model uses a heat-press bonding method to join the layers, supporting its 100% biodegradable design. The white cellulose is notably resilient, resisting tears better than some yellow variants while maintaining a standard 10x absorption-to-weight ratio.
The coconut fiber serves as a natural abrasive with a hardness rating lower than stainless steel, which protects delicate surfaces like ceramic or non-stick coatings. Since these sponges do not use chemical inhibitors, they rely on airflow to stay clean. Placing them through a "sanitize" cycle in the dishwasher can help extend their lifespan. The sponges may feel stiff initially but reach their full flexibility after two or three soak cycles.
- High-tensile white cellulose provides a durable and absorbent base for cleaning.
- The coconut scrubber is designed to be safe for all non-scratch applications.
- Materials are verified for a 100% biodegradable footprint when composted.
For those who prefer a sponge cloth that can replace traditional paper towels, the If You Care Sponge Cloths offer a highly absorbent and reusable alternative.
Organizing your sustainable kitchen is easier with dedicated storage, which you can find in our compostable dish sponges category.
