The Greenzla kitchen sponge is built with a sisal hemp scouring pad attached to a wood-pulp cellulose base. This 12-pack is designed for those looking to eliminate plastic microfibers from their kitchen. The sisal fibers provide a high abrasive index that is safe for most surfaces, though they are quite brittle when bone-dry and require hydration to become effective for scrubbing.
The dense cellulose structure is excellent at retaining liquid, holding about 40% more than traditional synthetic sponges. Because of this high density, it is important to store the sponge in a high-airflow environment to ensure it dries out completely between uses. These sponges are verified as 100% biodegradable under industrial composting conditions, offering a sustainable path for disposal after they have served their purpose.
- Sisal hemp provides an effective, non-scratch scrubbing surface.
- The high-capacity cellulose base makes it easy to wipe up large spills.
- 100% plant-based materials support a plastic-free home environment.
If you find that the sisal fibers soften too quickly for your scrubbing needs, you might consider the Kickleen coconut and walnut sponge as a sturdier alternative.
