“On initial use they appeared to be very stiff but both sides this soon went after a few uses, the eco sponge works well both sides and should easily last a month or more doing the washing up for two .”
“The Scourers are strong and don't seem to be wearing out quickly even on hard to scrub stains. They also dont stain with tomato, turmeric etc. However they're not as good at rubbing off hard stains as plastic ones (need more elbow grease!)”
“"Our best-selling eco sponge ... works just as well (if not better) as a plastic sponge.". I gave this sponge a go and I'm really disappointed. This part of the marketing sentence is a lie. 12 sponges should have lasted a year, in reality it was merely a 6 months supply. This might be a perfect product for people with dishwasher. If you only need to wash up the few things you can't stack into the dishwasher, you will still have a harder time than with a plastic sponge, but it might work. Be prepared though that you will need to scratch dirt with your fingers instead of with the sponge. This sponge is so soft, you could use it in your bathtub. For heavy duty, daily washing-up this sponge is simply inadequate. This fact should be made completely clear in its marketing material instead of the lies, like the one mentioned before. I love the idea and it was great to throw these into the compost but it just happened way more often than I had thought it would. I second the other reviews: the sponge is more rigid and you use more washing-up liquid with it than with a traditional sponge. Is it possible to really create a compostable sponge as good (if not better) than the plastic ones? This remained an unanswered question.”
Hello, we are sorry you feel like this. For really tough food stains we recommed using our copper scourers or bamboo brush alongside. Loofah fibres are naturally coarse and have good scrubbing power, yet gentle enough for for non-scratch pans. Not everyone who uses our sponges do have a dishwasher.
“Works just as well as a plastic pad. Doesn’t smell or get slimey! Rinses easily. Haven’t needed to wash in the machine yet but I will. Will buy again.”
“I have purchased these before and I have always been pleased they do exactly what I expected they wash well and last a long time. Happy recommend and worth a try”
