Natural Loofah Kitchen Sponge (XL - 10 Pack) - Natural Sponges for Dishes - Eco Friendly Sponges - Compostable Sponge - Biodegradable Sponges Kitc...

So I'm trying to eliminate plastics as much as possible from my lifestyle, hence trying these. Good lather with dish soap. Not much scrubbing ability though compared to my old plastics. First one i used of falling apart after 3 days. I'm thinking a cotton knit washcloth (like my grandmother and mother used many decades ago) might be a better route.

Good product overall - these are exactly what I thought they would be - slices of high quality loofah. My issue is that the loofah when it is wet becomes too soft to really be used as a scrubbie for dishes, and the texture of them kinda gets sticky against the dishes, making my dishwashing go very slow. I wanted to like them for this use, but just didn't. That said, the loofah itself was fine, and I'll probably repurpose these for another use.

It's no contest when this loofa sponge goes up against dirty dishes. I gave these a trial by overnight oats with nut butter and flaxseed. My pint jar came clean without repeated scrubbing or forcefulness. If the loofa sponge could've talked, it would have taunted, "Is that all you've got? Bring it!" Cleaning power is what matters most, but a very close second for me is using natural and sustainable products. While the sponge felt stiff when I first moistened it, it wasn't coarse and has gotten softer and more flexible with each use. I expect these to last, and will buy more. They're a great size for adult hands, and do just what I need them to do. When they wear away, I'll probably put (try to) shred them and put them around garden plants to help them retain moisture. Great buy!

Got these just to try out and my GF actually really likes them. Useful in the sink or even in the shower apparently if you really want a good scrub
