Review on 🌿 08 Pack Natural Dish Sponges – MAGIX WORLD Eco-Friendly Walnut Scrubber Sponge – Plant-Based Biodegradable Cellulose and Coconut Cleaning Sponge for Sustainable Living – Odor-Free and Non-Scratch by Jamie Sand

***Update 8th October 2021*** So I've found a great use for these sponges as surface cleaners around the house. I still don't use them for dishes. But they are great for cleaning countertops, glass hobs, sinks and pretty much any other surface that substances will harden/dry on. My initial concerns remain, but I'll give them an extra star for the scrubber's usefulness on surfaces. Coconut fibers are really great for this. Natural Dishwashing Sponges 08 Pack: $8.99 at time of review. I love the idea of biodegradable kitchen sponges. We seem to go through these things at a rate of about 2 months, so I feel better knowing the ones I use are biodegradable. These sponges from Magix clean the surface of the coconut shell fiber quite well. As others have noted, their staying power isn't great for a few weeks, but that's not a problem for me. They're a bit more expensive than regular sponges, but I think the price is worth a little ecological consideration. Another thing that worries me about these sponges is that the top layer of scrub doesn't flex very well (which means the entire sponge doesn't flex very well). This makes it a little harder to clean things like glass frames and other items that you bend the sponge around. -------------*Advantages*: Environmentally friendly. Erases well. *Bad*: Only last a few weeks before breaking up. NOT safe for scratch prone items. Slightly more expensive than alternatives. * Verdict: * These are decent sponges considering they are biodegradable. But decency does not help many. For the price there are better alternatives. Three stars out of five for basic functionality. But the last two stars are lost due to (lack of) longevity and inflexibility. I would not order these again.
