Cellulose Kitchen Sponge – 15-Pack

Softer than loofah. Just as disposable. Fifteen natural cellulose sponges — plant fiber, more absorbent, gentler on delicate surfaces.

Loofah is a scrubber. Cellulose is a soaker. This is the one for wiping counters, drying glassware, and cleaning surfaces where you want absorbency rather than abrasion — and like the loofah, it's plant-based and plastic-free.

Loofah or cellulose?

• Loofah — coarse texture, best for baked-on food, cookware, cast iron, and sinks.
• Cellulose — soft and highly absorbent, best for countertops, glassware, spills, and finished surfaces.

Most households end up keeping both.

Why these are different

• Plant-based cellulose. Made from natural wood pulp fiber — no polyurethane foam, no plastic scrub pad glued to the back.
• Biodegradable. Plant-based cellulose that breaks down naturally, unlike plastic foam.
• Plastic-free packaging. Recyclable cardboard, no poly bag.

What you get

• 15 natural cellulose scrub sponges
• Ships compressed and flat — expands on first contact with water
• Recyclable cardboard box

How to use

Wet thoroughly before first use; the sponge expands to full thickness. Wring out and stand it up to air-dry between uses. Swap in a new one whenever you like.

Common questions

Should I buy cellulose or loofah?
If you're mostly wiping counters, glassware, and finished surfaces, start here. If you're scrubbing pans, cast iron, and sinks, get the loofah. Plenty of people keep one of each at the sink.

Is it safe on non-stick and delicate surfaces?
Yes — cellulose is the gentler of our two materials. Safe on non-stick cookware, glass, and painted or finished surfaces.

When should I swap it out?
Whenever you like. Wring it out and stand it up to dry between uses.

They arrive flat — is that right?
Yes. Cellulose ships compressed so the box fits in a drawer. Wet it thoroughly and it expands to full thickness in seconds.

Is it plastic-free?
Yes. It's plant-based cellulose from wood pulp, with no foam and no synthetic scrub pad. It's biodegradable, too.

How do I care for it?
Cellulose is more absorbent than loofah, so wring it out fully and let it dry between uses.

What is a plastic-free dish sponge?
A plastic-free dish sponge like this one skips the polyurethane foam most dish sponges are made from and uses plant fiber instead, so it's biodegradable rather than plastic. This 15-pack is a plastic-free dish sponge through and through: no foam, no glued-on scrub pad, just plant-based cellulose.
