The Hasumcol 12-pack uses a dual-density architecture consisting of coarse coconut husk and compressed wood cellulose. This design is built for those who want a completely biodegradable cleaning tool that is compatible with municipal industrial composting. The large cell structure of the sponge allows for high airflow, which helps it dry out faster than closed-cell synthetic versions, helping to manage kitchen odors naturally.
The coconut fiber side provides high initial abrasion for tough messes, though the natural fibers will soften over time after multiple heat cycles. To maintain the bond between the layers, it is best to avoid leaving the sponge in standing water. Because natural fibers do not have the same tensile strength as polymers, the sponge may shed small amounts of lint during use, and it is most durable when wringed gently rather than twisted with high force.
If you prefer a scrubbing surface that uses walnut shells for a different texture, you may want to look at the Airnex 10-pack as an alternative.
