How long should Dish Sponges last for?Updated 3 days ago

TL;DR: Our cellulose Dish Sponges are designed for good performance but not forever, they typically last around 4-5 weeks with normal use. If you use a sponge daily, plan to replace it roughly every 1-2 months.

Typical lifespan

Cellulose sponges are absorbent but biodegradable. In real-world use most people find they get the best performance for about four to five weeks. For households where a single sponge is used every day, a practical guideline is to replace it every 1-2 months.

What shortens lifespan

Factors that reduce usable life include trapped moisture between uses, very heavy or abrasive scrubbing, and frequent exposure to strong chemicals. These wear the natural fibres faster and mean you’ll need to replace the sponge sooner.
