Pop-Up Sponges

Plastic-Free Packaging

Plastic-free, compostable sponges. The cellulose is dried in a compact shape and expands into a normal sponge size when you get them wet, making it easy to buy them in bulk without taking over your under-the-sink space. If you prefer a sponge with a scrubby side, check out our other recommendation (we love having both at our sink).
