Natural Kitchen Sponge – Biodegradable Compostable Cellulose & Coconut Scrubber

A plastic-free upgrade for your kitchen sink: the Natural Kitchen Sponge combines absorbent cellulose foam with a coconut husk scrubber—both fully biodegradable and compostable. It’s gentle on dishes, tough on grime, and designed to break down naturally once it’s time to say goodbye.

Why It Matters

✔️Plant-based, scrubby yet gentle, and compostable
✔️Breaks down naturally—no microplastic or landfill waste
✔️Less mold and bacteria growth compared to plastic sponges
✔️Safe for glass, ceramics, stainless steel and wood
✔️Zero plastic in product or packaging, aligned with zero-waste values

How It's Made

These sponges are made of plant-based vegetable cellulose bonded with coconut husk scrub fibers—no plastics, no adhesive toxins, and no microplastic shedding. Once worn out, separate layers and compost them—leaving behind nothing but natural fiber.

Daily Dish Cleaning Made Simple

Use like a conventional sponge: wet, lather, scrub, rinse, and squeeze. The cellulose side absorbs sudsy water, while the stiffer coconut side tackles stuck-on food. After use, the sponge dries quickly to resist odor and bacteria.
