Hemp
Sponge's scrubber layer is made from a hemp and cotton blend. Hemp has a tough texture and it's antimicrobial and antibacterial properties help sanitize the sponge.
Diatomaceous Earth
Spongik's dryer is made from a very unique and anti-bacterial material - Diatomaceous earth. Is a naturally occurring mineral that is made of microscopic skeletons of algae that have fossilized over millions of years. The dryer instantly absorbs moisture from its surface, and helps the sponge dry faster.
Cellulose
The soft part of the sponge is made from cellulose, a 100% natural and biodegradable material. Cellulose is the most abundant natural organic compound on Earth. It is the main structural component of plant cells.
Cotton
Cotton is a versatile and a durable material. It is mixed into the scrubber layer to add softness. It is pleasant touch and it prevents scratching surfaces.

innovative design & soft touch
Ergonomic water drop shape perfectly fits in the hand, while the pointy edge is designed to clean hard-to-reach corners of glasses and bowls. The sponge tackles the toughest jobs, yet it is gentle enough not to scratch the dishes and the non-stick layer of the pans and pots.

What is wrong with regular sponges?
regular sponge hosts 362 different species of bacteria
have to be replaced every 2 weeks
Regular kitchen sponges were proven to represent the biggest reservoirs of active bacteria in the whole house. A dishwashing sponge is 200,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Researchers found 362 different species of bacteria, located in sponge’s porous structure, with bacterial density of 45 billion per cm2.
plastic, bacteria... is just not cool
only 9% of all plastic gets recycled
Plastic sponges can't be recycled, they will take 52,000 to degrade
Made out of 2 polyurethane polymers, conventional dishwashing sponges can’t be recycled, composed or biodegrade. Around 50 billion kitchen sponges are disposed annually.
