If you're scrubbing pans, cast iron, and sinks, get the loofah. Plenty of people keep one of each at the sink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe on non-stick and delicate surfaces?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes — cellulose is the gentler of our two materials. Safe on non-stick cookware, glass, and painted or finished surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does one sponge last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThree to five days with normal use, longer if you wring it out and stand it up to dry. Fifteen covers roughly two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey arrive flat — is that right?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. Cellulose ships compressed so the box fits in a drawer. Wet it thoroughly and it expands to full thickness in seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I compost it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDrop it in your home compost bin or a garden bed. It's plant fiber, so it breaks down and returns to soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it hold odor?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLess than foam, but cellulose is more absorbent than loofah, so wringing it out fully and letting it dry between uses matters more here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFamily-run and independently owned.
