Seep Reviews

"If you\u2019re looking to ditch the classic yellow-and-green plastic sponges that eventually end up in a landfill, Seep\u2019s Natural Sponge Scourers are one of the most popular eco-swaps on the market.\r\n\r\nBased on performance data and user feedback from 2025\u20132026, here is a balanced review to help you decide if they\u2019re worth the premium price.\r\nThe Verdict: 5\/ 5 Stars \u2b50\ufe0f\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\r\n\r\nSeep succeeds where many \"eco\" brands fail: they\u2019ve created a sponge that actually feels like a high-quality tool rather than a flimsy compromise. It is excellent for daily washing and surface wiping, though it has a \"break-in\" period that might frustrate some but I found it was only a few days for mine.\r\n\r\nThe Pros: Why They\u2019re Great\r\nZero Microplastics: Unlike traditional sponges that shed tiny plastic fibers down your drain with every scrub, these are made from 100% wood pulp (cellulose) and loofah.\r\n\r\nBetter Absorbency: Users consistently report that the cellulose side holds more soap and water than synthetic foam, meaning you actually use less washing-up liquid.\r\nTruly Compostable: You can literally chop these up and put them in your home compost bin. They break down into organic matter rather than sitting in a landfill for 500 years.\r\n\r\nMachine Washable: One of their best features is durability; you can toss them in the washing machine or dishwasher to freshen them up, which extends their life to about 4\u20136 weeks per sponge.\r\nThe Cons: The Trade-offs\r\nInitial Stiffness: When brand new, the loofah side is quite rigid. It can be difficult to shove into narrow glasses or clean tight corners until it has been soaked and used a few times. The sponge were in the picture has been in use for about 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nPrice Point: Although they are more expensive than supermarket plastic sponges, you u are paying for the sustainability credentials and the carbon-offsetting. The yearly subscription offers the best value for money."

"Great products - always looking for more eco friendly products around the house and I\u2019ve now been able to ditch the horrible foam sponges. The cleaning pads are great and love the bamboo cleaning brush for scrubbing pans. All great quality, produce excellent results and long lasting. Won\u2019t be going back to the terrible sponges. Still need to try out the gloves but I doubt I\u2019ll be disappointed. "

"My friend gave me one to try, within a week I had ordered my own first box. So good, gentle but effective. Who could ask more? Seemed expensive until you realise how well they last, and can also washed in dishwasher or washing machine! Loving having it sitting in view, and not hiding a horrible thing under the sink!"

"I purchased the 'Eco sponge scourers'. I am so impressed with the way they do everything that my old sponges used to do for our washing up.\r\nMy first sponge is still going after 2 weeks, it doesn't smell, hasn't degraded. This is a wonderful product that everyone! Should be using."

"I\u2019ve bought a kit 2 months ago now and haven\u2019t changed any sponge yet- they are durable and easy to keep clean and I am impressed with the quality. Not sure about the complimentary cat, might return him. "

"I am a big fan of Seep and am on my third box of 12 sponges. The quality of the last two boxes has been mixed and the third in particular. I use a new sponge each month but within the first two weeks of gentle use the soft side is coming away in chunks and the scourer, which is no longer made of one piece, is splitting and tearing. I put the sponges in the first box through my washing machine and they were considerably more robust and lasted far longer.\r\n\r\nI am hoping I have been unlucky and that the contents of my next box will be better. I will, of course, continue to subscribe."
