These Sponge Cloths from "If You Care" are a blend of 70% cellulose and 30% unbleached non-GMO cotton. This material mix is designed to provide the absorbency of a sponge with the flexibility of a cloth, capable of holding up to 20 times its weight in liquid. Because they are made from 100% plant-based fibers, they do not release microplastics during washing cycles, making them a sustainable choice for countertop cleaning.
The honeycomb texture is created through a steam-expansion process, which is designed to optimize surface tension for streak-free results on glass and granite. To keep the cloths in good shape, it is best to air-dry them flat. For regular cleaning, a top-rack dishwasher cycle is effective for sanitizing the fibers. While highly absorbent, the unbleached fibers may retain colors from strong pigments like turmeric or beet juice.
These cloths are designed to be a durable and reusable alternative to paper towels, breaking down in a home compost environment within eight to twelve weeks.
If you need a more traditional sponge with a scrubbing side for stuck-on food, the Airnex Natural Kitchen Sponge is a complementary tool for your dishwashing routine.
