Isshah Plant-Based Kitchen Sponges - FSC Certified and PETA Approved Natural Eco-Friendly Biodegradable Sisal Hemp Sponges for Dishes

I'd say it's better than the normal ones I used to buy, which was quite a surprise. I was expecting these to be less durable and not as effective. Absolutely not true. The scrub side is comparable to a gentle scrub sponge and totally acceptable. However the sponge side is very strong and has a firm squeegee feel as it rubs the surface of the dishes. I honestly think it is way better. It doesn't smell funny and with reasonable care (rinse and dry) each sponge lasts a solid month. They also seem to hold a good amount of water and are great for wiping up the counter. I couldn't ask for more. Keep them coming. I need one a month. Read more

Got these to replace a more common smiley brand. These work GREAT. They clean well and hold up to a good amount of use. Size is similar to a normal sponge, maybe a little thicker due to the dual side. Holds soap well. We will continue to buy these. Read more

We love how this is scratch resistant, the quality is great for an all natural material, it’s soft and cleans well. I love how it doesn’t retain certain food odors after each use (squeeze excess water after each use). Read more

Finally found a "natural" sponge that actually works. I've bought many other sponges that either didn't hold soap or didn't clean particularly well. This works really well and holds soap well, too. The only con is that it only lasts about two weeks before the scrubby part starts falling apart, but I guess you are supposed to change your sponge often. What I love best about these sponges is that they come dried out, they're not moist like regular sponges that have who knows what antimicrobial stuff on them. Read more

Great option for healthier manual dishwashing. Same size and thickness as most non-plant-based sponges. The scrubby side lasts stands up to normal use and does a good job. These sponges do wear out faster than non-plant-based alternatives, but the cost helps to offset the replacement cycle. Read more

Honestly, great sponges. They hold up well to daily cleaning. Seem to be more natural than those colorful ones we all grew up with. Good price. Read more

Used to be a Scrub Daddy fan until I realized that I was contributing to microplastics going down the drain! Tried these plant based sponges and they are great! Love that there is no plastic, these are made from wood cellulose and coconut husks, are compostable, and they do not start smelling like regular sponges do. Read more

This is my first experience with an eco-friendly spong product. I'm pleasantly surprised. They are fairly durable and work well. Though the sponges may appear to get dirty soon this is more so due to their light coloring as compared to the typically dark colors synthetic sponges have. Washing them a bit after each use helps.
