These plant based sponge scourers are a great plastic free alternative to the standard yellow and green scourers that are widely available in the shops. The abrasive side is tough but gentle on non-stick cookware, and the absorbent side is good for cleaning up spills and wiping down surfaces. 7 x 11 x 2cm.
Why we love it
The absorbent sponge side is made from cellulose, a wood pulp fibre, and the scouring pad is from the loofah plant. Loofah plants are a bit like courgettes and cucumbers, are very fibrous when ripe and have effective abrasive qualities when dried.
To prolong life, after each use rinse in clean water and allow to dry out to prevent mould. The sponges can be freshened up occasionally by washing in the dishwasher or washing machine at 30°C or 40°C. Well looked after sponges should last for over a month.
Once well used, cut up the sponge to speed up composting and place in home compost bin, wormery or organic waste bin. Alternatively, it can be placed in with your usual household waste. The materials are stitched together instead of glued meaning they can be home composted, unlike many products labelled 'biodegradable'.
Sold singly or as a pack of four. Each scourer measures approximately 7cm x 11cm x 2cm.
Replacing plastic kitchen scourers with these plant based ones means not adding microplastics into your home and into our waterways. Also less plastic is being produced from extracted oil so is a step away from fossil fuel reliance, and a step towards more a more sustainable way of living.
Designed in the UK and currently produced responsibly in China until local suppliers can be sourced. The supplier has been audited and meets the high standards expected in Europe. Comes packaged in a recyclable card sleeve from sustainably managed forests.

These are excellent for dishwashing and pot scouring
I like the idea of these but they are not very flexible to get into corners and the Lofah scrubber does not work very well
Bought a pack of these scourers, and I will buy another when the time comes.
I’m blown away by the quality of this! Feels extremely durable and I’m confident it will be long lasting. Feels great knowing we’re cleaning the natural materials that won’t harm us or the earth!

The coasters are excellent quality, a really lovely design, and really reasonably priced. They were shipped and delivered quickly and just an all 'round positive experience and purchase.
I can't comment on the actual products I ordered because they were all gifts, but the packaging is good and everything attractive. The order came quickly. There is such a huge choice on the website I will certainly be using it again.
Always loved these bags and now have found one which is kind to the earth and looks so cheery and can be taken anywhere with all the goodies or everyday essentials if you're not using for groceries etc.
