The washable sponge, why and how?

Are you tired of traditional disposable sponges and looking for another alternative to replace them? You're right to look for another alternative, because they are real breeding grounds for bacteria, and they are not eco-friendly. The perfect solution for you is to adopt the reusable and washable sponge . If you don't know what it is, we'll tell you everything now.

Why should we avoid traditional sponges?

Conventional sponges are made with synthetic fibers and petrochemical ingredients like resin foam, so they're made entirely of plastic. They use other chemicals to change their appearance and increase their durability. It's important to know that the scrubbing part is made from a combination of nylon and polyester, and the glue used to assemble them is very harmful. It's also worth noting that their production is very resource- and energy-intensive. This makes them unsustainable, highly polluting, expensive, and non-recyclable. They never disappear because, as they disintegrate, they leave millions of microplastics that invade soil and water. They are a major source of waste and waste. Whether for cleaning the house or doing the dishes, a sponge is essential, but you can choose a sponge that doesn't pollute the planet, like a washable sponge. However, conventional sponges are a health hazard because they are breeding grounds for bacteria, they contain more bacteria than toilet seats, and some are pathogenic and responsible for intestinal diseases.

What is a washable sponge?

The washable natural sponge is designed so that we can do the dishes without polluting our environment, whether during design, use or at the end of its life. It lasts for years and is part of the zero waste approach. It is a great way to do the dishes or maintain our interior without endangering our health. Like the classic sponge, the washable dish sponge is soft and effective with the abrasive side while being more hygienic and reusable. Note that the materials (bamboo or cotton fibers) used are certified organic, this is the assurance that it does not contain any product harmful to the environment and health.

All the good reasons to choose the washable sponge

The first reason to use an eco-friendly sponge is that it's environmentally friendly. It has a long lifespan (one or two washable sponges per year) because it can be washed (by hand or in a washing machine) and reused. Its use thus reduces the accumulation of waste. At the end of its life, it can be recycled, therefore it is less harmful to the ecosystem. Furthermore, the washable sponge is more hygienic because it is not porous, unlike the traditional sponge, which promotes the formation of bacteria. Indeed, the latter retains food residues that can be responsible for contamination. In addition, the 100% eco-friendly sponge is also economical. The investment is only made once upon purchase, and it lasts for months. The classic sponge must be changed every week, and this generates a lot of non-biodegradable waste.
