As part of trying to be more sustainable, I decided to try these new dish sponges.
They are dish sponges made from bamboo fibres, so are an eco-friendly alternative to the plastic ones.
I carried on using them and eventually started to get used to them. As long as I didn’t leave the food to dry onto the dishes, it worked perfectly well to get rid of all the residual food. If I wasn’t washing the pots straight away, then I would need to soak them in hot water before it would come off using the sponge.
The Washing Test:
After about a month (not sure if that is a long time or not?), I decided to put the sponge in the washing machine to see how it would hold up. I was very dubious about this, and didn’t think they would survive the wash, however I was pleasantly surprised.
This is the picture I took of the sponge when it was taken out of the washing machine.
The verdict
I would definitely recommend these sponges. They lasted longer than the ‘traditional’ sponges, and lasted me about 6 months before I had to replace it. Once I was finished with it, I rinsed it out and put it on the compost heap too! So all in all, I was very happy with these and would purchase again.
