The Silkyhose 12-pack is an entry-level bulk option for zero-waste cleaning, featuring a dual-layer design of wood-pulp cellulose and coconut coir. The cellulose side is highly porous, which helps it retain soap and create a rich lather, while the coconut coir is bound with a natural latex to provide a reliable scrubbing surface. This model is designed to break down in a backyard compost within twelve to twenty-four weeks.
The coconut fibers are non-abrasive on PTFE (Teflon) and ceramic coatings, making this sponge versatile for various types of cookware. To maximize the life of the sponge, it is best to use a "dry-dock" storage method rather than leaving it in standing water, which can cause the natural fibers to shed sooner. These sponges are built for a standard household cleaning cycle, usually lasting two to three weeks before the layers begin to naturally separate.
- Coconut coir side provides effective, non-scratch cleaning for pots and pans.
- Cellulose base is engineered to hold up to ten times its weight in fluid.
- Bulk 12-pack ensures you have a fresh sponge ready whenever needed.
If you are looking for a sponge with a slightly more dense scrubbing layer, the MMG Prime 12-pack is a high-density alternative with a similar eco-friendly profile.
