The Miw Piw sponge is made from 100% Luffa aegyptiaca fruit fibers, offering a natural way to scrub dishes without using plastic. These sponges arrive in a compressed, flattened state to save space and reduce shipping impact. To activate them for use, a short soak in warm water is required to let the fibers expand to their full functional thickness of about 1.5 inches.
The fibrous matrix of the loofah is highly effective at wicking away grease and provides a medium-coarse abrasive surface that is well-suited for cast iron. Because it is a natural gourd, it can trap food particles within its fibers, so regular sterilization in the dishwasher or microwave is helpful for maintaining hygiene. The material is fully home-compostable and will naturally soften after 20 to 30 wash cycles.
- 100% plant-based fibers provide a zero-polymer scrubbing experience.
- The high surface area helps create a rich foam with liquid or bar soaps.
- Naturally biodegradable and safe for disposal in residential compost bins.
If the natural variation of loofah is not quite right for your needs, the MMG Prime coconut-based sponge provides a more uniform shape and texture.
