The Isshah sponge system is a PETA-approved and FSC-certified cleaning tool that uses sisal hemp for its scrubbing layer and wood pulp for its base. These sponges are built using a heat-compression method rather than formaldehyde-based glues, ensuring the materials remain natural. Sisal fibers are softer than nylon, which makes these sponges a very safe choice for non-stick pans and delicate ceramic finishes.
Because these sponges are made from natural fibers, they require a regular dry-out cycle to stay in top condition. Wringing them completely and storing them in a well-ventilated area helps prevent the wood pulp from softening too quickly. While the sisal is effective for daily glassware and dishes, it may fray if used on sharp grates or very rough surfaces, making it best suited for standard kitchen tasks.
Sisal fibers provide a non-scratch scrubbing surface that is safe for high-end cookware, while the white cellulose base ensures high absorbency.
If you require a more abrasive natural fiber like loofah, you might consider the Miw Piw Natural Loofah 3-pack for tougher scrubbing jobs.
