Sponge Cloths
Sponge cloths are made of a biodegradable and durable mixture of cellulose, cotton, and mirabilite — a mineral salt that is washed out during the manufacturing process. The resulting cloth is extremely absorbent and so, so strong. It can absorb 20 times its weight in liquid, but easily wrings nearly bone dry, minimizing bacteria and mildew growth. and it’s machine-washable up to 300 times — which means that a single sponge cloth can replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels.
