Hello Mark, we are delighted that you like the sponge scourer. We have pretty good quality control for all of our products and check each batch that goes out of our factories, but unfortunately, some not-quite-right products do occasionally slip through. We track these product issues and work with our factories to improve them the next time. Often, they arise because we're using natural materials, which are more difficult to work with. Please do get in touch with us at hello@theseepcompany.com
“The cleaning pads are a great replacement for what we used before (plastic sponges with one rougher surface). And they last much longer! If they can't get rid of the hard burnt bits, a wooden spatula does the trick with less scratching.”
“I bought a trial package of eco sponge scourers as replacements for my usual supermarket scourers and so far they seem to be more than capable replacements. The only frustration I have is that more supermarkets don't stock them and I have to set up a subscription, but that's as much on them for lack of foresight.”
“The sponge is a great idea, I have made lots of changes in my home to be less toxic. However, the sponge is too stiff which makes it difficult to wash up as it won’t bend into items being cleaned.”
“I gave this product a try and I am pleasantly surprised. The only issue is after 2 weeks the sponge is already disintegrating and bits tend to get stuck in the scouring pad. I do want to convert to a sustainable sponge but Seep sponges are expensive if I need to frequently replace them.”
