Dish Sponges

How do you dispose of Dish Sponges?

Dish Sponges are biodegradable and home compostable. Tear a worn-out sponge into pieces and add it to a home compost bin or an industrial composting service. They do not belong in kerbside recycling. →

How to use: Dish Sponges

Soak a Dish Sponge in water and it expands to full size. Use it like any sponge with Dishwashing Liquid, rinse and wring gently without twisting, then let it air-dry fully between uses. →

How do you wash Dish Sponges?

Rinse under running water with a little Dishwashing Liquid after use, or machine wash in a laundry bag on a cold or delicate cycle up to 30°C. No bleach, no fabric softener, then air-dry fully. →

Why would Dish Sponges be degrading?

They are made from cellulose, so they are designed to break down. Trapped moisture, scrubbing rough surfaces and harsh chemicals speed it up. Replace one when it smells, crumbles or stops absorbing. →

How long should Dish Sponges last for?

Up to about 5 weeks with proper care. Rinsing, wringing gently and drying fully between uses is what gets you there. Replace sooner if a sponge smells, crumbles, or stops absorbing. →

How big are Dish Sponges?

The retail 6-pack measures 118 × 78 × 14 mm compressed. Each sponge expands to 128 × 83 × 19 mm once it has been hydrated. Packs ship compressed to cut down shipping volume. →
