Overview
The plastic sponge that scratches your pans and never breaks down has a better replacement. Plastno's loofah dish sponge scrubs stuck-on food with a loofah side and wipes up everyday grime with a soft cellulose side, both from plants instead of foam. When it wears out, it biodegrades instead of shedding microplastic like a synthetic sponge.
- Two sides, one sponge: A loofah side for scrubbing stuck-on food and a cellulose side for everyday washing. Comes in a 3-pack.
- Plastic-free and plant-based: Made from loofah and cellulose, hand-sewn with cotton thread instead of plastic glue, and biodegradable at end of life.
- Easy to sanitize: Top-rack dishwasher or a quick boil. Each sponge lasts two to four months.
Ingredients
Made with loofah, plant-based cellulose, and cotton thread.
Use
1. Clean. Tackle dishes, countertops, sinks, and most hard surfaces with a plastic-free, dual-action loofah and cellulose sponge.
2. Sanitize. Top rack of the dishwasher or a quick boil. Air-dry between uses and each sponge lasts 2 to 4 months.

The loofah dish sponge that scrubs, then biodegrades
Most kitchen sponges are plastic foam that scratches your pans and sheds microplastic into the sink every time you wash. This one is two plant sides instead, a firm loofah side for stuck-on food and a soft cellulose side for everyday dishes. Same scrubbing power, none of the petroleum, and it lasts months instead of weeks before it biodegrades.
How it works
1. Wet. Wet the sponge under warm water.
2. Scrub. Loofah side for stuck-on food and grease, cellulose side for everyday dishes.
3. Rinse. Rinse well and air-dry between uses. Sanitize weekly in the dishwasher or a quick boil.
Plant-based ingredients
Loofah
Loofah is the dried fibrous skeleton of the loofah plant. We use it on the scrub side for stuck-on food, grease, and burned-on bits. Naturally biodegradable.
Cellulose
Cellulose is a plant fiber sourced from wood pulp. We use it on the wash side for everyday dishes, countertops, and sinks. Plastic-free and biodegradable.
Why switch to a biodegradable dish scrubber
A single polyurethane sponge sheds microplastics into your sink and your food every time you wash. Multiply that by every kitchen, every week. An eco-friendly dish sponge, loofah on one side and cellulose on the other, gives you the same scrubbing power, a longer life, and none of the petroleum.

What people ask before they switch to loofah
What makes Plastno's scrub sponge different from a regular kitchen sponge?
It's plastic-free. Most kitchen sponges are polyurethane or polyester, which shed microplastics every time you wash. Plastno's eco-friendly dish sponge uses a loofah scrub side and a plant-based cellulose wash side. Both are plant-derived and biodegradable, so they break down far faster than a conventional sponge. Here is a full look at what our sponges are made of.
How long does a Plastno scrub sponge last?
2 to 4 months with daily use. Rinse it thoroughly and air-dry between uses. Sanitize once a week by boiling it for 1 to 2 minutes or running it on the top rack of the dishwasher. Each pack includes 3 sponges, so one pack covers roughly a year.
Does the scrub side have a plastic mesh?
No. The scrub side is loofah, the dried fiber of the loofah plant. There is no nylon, polyester, or polypropylene scouring layer, which many sponges sold as plant-based still use. The wash side is plant-based cellulose. Both sides are plastic-free.
What do I do with the sponge when it's worn out?
Both the loofah and the cellulose are plant-derived and biodegradable, so they break down far faster than a polyurethane sponge. Both materials break down in a home compost pile. Not third-party certified. You can also put it in the bin with Plastno's BPI and TUV certified trash bags.
Will it scratch non-stick pans or delicate surfaces?
The cellulose wash side is gentle on non-stick cookware, glass, and most painted surfaces. The loofah scrub side is firmer and works on cast iron, stainless steel, sinks, and stovetops. Start with the cellulose side first and flip to the loofah only when you need extra scrubbing power.
