Q: Why clean with a biodegradable scrub sponge?

Short answer. Because the earth is awesome. Long answer. Because most other scrub sponges, even many that claim to be environmentally friendly, contain pesticides, are made with oil, release microplastics right down your kitchen drain into the ocean, and fill our landfills with nylon, polyester, foam and many more man-made waste that will remain there forever. Scrub & Throw scrub sponges do the same job as your traditional scrub sponge and are 100% biodegradable. In the correct conditions, they can even decompose within 30 days. They are made of loofah vegetable fibers, require zero oil for production, are a renewable resource, are non-toxic, and are 100% plastic-free. Even our packaging is 100% biodegradable. Scrub and Throw scrub sponges deliver guilt-free scrubbing at its finest.

"The best!"

These are the best! I love cleaning with them, and best of all, they don’t have that disgusting, stale smell that all of my other sponges do. I love how the backside of the sponge can scrape the yuckies off of my pots and pans! So happy with my monthly subscription :)
