    Bought a pack and still on the first one. These hold up well, scrub without scratching and clean dishes quick & easy and they don't get that stinky sponge smell. One top of all that, they're environmentally superior to artificial, chemical laden kitchen sponges. Quadruple win, these are my go to from now on.

    I absolutely love these sponges! They hold up so well with frequent use. The sponge side is soft and the scrubby side works perfectly for food stuck on pans, dishes, silverware, etc. These sponges are easy to use, a good size, and a good value. They don't have a smell as long as you rinse the soap out and squeeze the water out once you are finished using them. Highly recommend!

    Works as well as any sponge and I’m happy knowing that they are better for the planet and my household than your typical dyed sponges. They were a great price point and the size is comparable to a regular sponge. They aren’t too stiff, aren’t too soft, and knowing there is so many for so cheap I don’t feel bad throwing them away after before too much bacteria builds up!

    We try to use Plant-based dish sponges and these have held up the best for us. Eventually the coconut fiber back does get really ripped apart, but we expected them to wear down with age! Great for the price and better than the plastic scrubbers for sure.

  • Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2025

    I really like these! While I have only been using one for a couple weeks, I immediately felt the difference between these and the sponges usually found at the supermarket. They have a much sturdier feel to them, and truthfully, are a little stiffer, but that doesn't bother me if they don't start falling apart after a few weeks use. The scrubby side does what it needs to do beautifully, if not better than the usual scrubby side of regular sponges. I always bleach my sponges each week in a light solution to eliminate the growth of bacteria and mildew in my sponges. So far, that has not impacted this sponge at all. While time will determine if I continue using these, so far, all indicators are that I will be, as they are definitely superior than what I've got available to me locally.

    I have no complaints whatsoever about these! Somehow they seem to hold up better than the foam green and yellow ones they last so much longer. I also haven't noticed them smelling funky. I've used 3 so far one of which has been designated for our grill and smoker. They're they're the average sponge thickness, fit well in my hand and absorb like any other dish sponge. I've put them through the dishwasher and stains come out really well. I can't speak to scratching nonstick dishes because I use cast iron -but that should definitely speak to their durability!

    Great product. We’ve been using one of the sponges for a while and it feels and functions just like a ‘normal’ supermarket sponge. Seems to wear similarly too. Very happy with it.

    They need to be wrung out much more than most sponges to avoid leaving water marks.
