♻️ Compostable 🇺🇸 USDA Certified
Natural Loofah Scrub Sponges, 90-Pack
The household stock-up. Ninety natural loofah sponges at about 56¢ each — roughly a year of fresh sponges for a busy kitchen.
This is the size that changes the habit. When there's a stack in the cabinet, you stop rationing a sponge past its useful life and start swapping it the moment it turns. Popular with large families, home cooks, and hosts running one or two short-term rentals.
Good to know before you buy
- Built for everyday dishes, not baked-on messes. It shines on glasses, plates, counters, and daily grease. For a pan with scorched cheese or crusted food, give it a quick soak first — expecting it to out-scrub a heavy-duty pad on stuck-on food will disappoint you.
- Compact dry, full-size wet. Each sponge ships flat and compressed — run it under warm water for a few seconds and it expands to a sponge that fills your hand.
- Wrings out fast, holds less water than foam. That quick-drying nature is what keeps it from going sour between uses — just keep a towel nearby for bigger spills.
Why these are different
- USDA Certified. Independently verified by the USDA BioPreferred program — a federal certification, not a marketing claim.
- 100% plant-based. Real loofah gourd, grown and dried. No polyurethane foam, no synthetic mesh, no resin.
- No microplastics. Conventional sponges shed plastic fibers down your drain with every wash. These shed plant fiber.
- Home compostable. Toss it in the compost bin or a garden bed. It goes back to soil.
- Plastic-free packaging. Recyclable cardboard. No poly bag, no shrink wrap.
What you get
- 90 natural loofah scrub sponges
- Standard size — sits comfortably in one hand
- Recyclable cardboard packaging, no plastic
How to use
Run under warm water for a few seconds. The loofah softens and expands as it absorbs. Scrub, rinse, and stand it up to air-dry. Swap in a fresh one every 3–5 days.
Store the box somewhere dry. Loofah is a dried plant — it keeps indefinitely as long as it isn't sitting in damp.

Common questions
Will ninety sponges go bad before I use them?
No. Loofah is a dried plant with no binders or additives, so an unopened box keeps indefinitely as long as it's stored somewhere dry. Only a sponge that stays wet degrades.
How much space does the box take?
Less than you'd think. The sponges ship compressed flat, so ninety fits in a cabinet shelf rather than a closet.
How much scrubbing power does it really have?
Plenty for daily dishes, but it's a natural fiber, not a synthetic scouring pad — it won't cut through baked-on or crusted food without a quick soak first. Think "replace it before it turns," not "attack the roasting pan."
Will it scratch my non-stick pans?
No. Loofah is naturally non-scratch and both sides are safe on glass, stainless, ceramic, and sealed or coated cookware.
How long does one sponge last?
Most people get 3–5 days per sponge, longer if you rinse it well and stand it up to dry. Ninety works out to roughly a year in a busy kitchen.
How do I compost it?
Drop it in your home compost bin or bury it in a garden bed. It's plant fiber, so it breaks down and returns to soil. No industrial facility required.
Running a business? The 180-pack is built for hospitality and cleaning accounts, at about 44¢ per sponge.
