Review on Effortless Cleaning: 12-Count Non-Scratch Scrub Sponges - Heavy Duty Scouring Power for Dishes, Pots and Pans by Jay Lopez

Great sponges. The first thing I liked about these sponges is that they are 12 compressed sponges. Upon receipt, the thickness of each is very thin. First, I think it would be great for travel. They don't take up space. Hand them in when I'm done. They become whole when placed in water. Even as an adult, I still love watching something so shrunken grow to full size. I love the suggestion the description gives of cutting the shriveled sponge into pieces for the kids to watch as it grows. I've been using this sponge for about a week now. They look and feel like a typical sponge. He doesn't stink. He was odorless. This is the perfect size for my hand. I used to clean countertops and dishes. I love it. Shelf Life: Mine still looks brand new after using it on everything from counters to plates and pots for the past week. Another feature I love about this sponge is that it is made of cellulose. Pulp as described on the product description page. This makes the sponge biodegradable, which means it must also be compostable. Although it does not contain any other non-biodegradable materials.
