Biodegradable scrub sponge for plastic-free kitchens

Plastno's plastic-free dish sponge is made from loofah and cellulose, tough on messes but gentle on the planet. It's a plant-derived alternative to the polyurethane and polyester sponges that shed microplastics into your sink, your food, and eventually your waterways. Use it on dishes, countertops, sinks, and most hard surfaces. With weekly sanitizing, each sponge lasts months of daily use, far longer than the conventional sponge you'd throw out every couple of weeks.

How the Plastno scrub sponge works

  1. Wet: Wet your loofah and cellulose sponge under warm water.
  2. Scrub: Loofah side for stuck-on food and grease, cellulose side for everyday wash.
  3. Rinse: Rinse thoroughly and air-dry between uses. With weekly sanitizing, each sponge lasts months.

Made from loofah and cellulose

Loofah

Loofah is the dried fibrous skeleton of the loofah plant. We use it on the scrub side for stuck-on food, grease, and burnt 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.

Plastno Cleaning The Kitchen Sink

Switch to a plastic-free dish sponge today

A single polyurethane sponge sheds microplastics into your sink and your food every time you wash. Multiply that by every kitchen, every week. Switching to a loofah and cellulose sponge gives you the same scrubbing power, the same lifespan, and none of the petroleum.

Before you ditch your plastic sponge

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 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 in any waste stream than a conventional sponge.

How long does a Plastno scrub sponge last?

Several months with proper care. Rinse it thoroughly after each use 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 typically covers about a year of daily use.

How do I sanitize the sponge?

Two easy ways. Boil it for 1 to 2 minutes, or run it on the top rack of the dishwasher with a hot cycle. Rinse and air-dry between uses to keep bacteria from building up. With weekly sanitizing, each sponge stays usable for several months.

What do I do with the sponge when it's worn out?

The loofah and cellulose are both plant-derived and biodegradable, so they break down far faster than a polyurethane sponge in any waste stream. If you compost at home, the sponge can go in the bin alongside food scraps and Plastno's certified compostable 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.
