9Sponge Alternatives
While sponges are common kitchen tools, there are some longer-lasting and more sanitary alternatives that you may consider. These include:
– Loofah: This tool is often made from gourds, a fruit in the cucumber family. Compared to sponges, they are more sustainable.
– Handheld dish brush: It can be put upright for faster dry and help keep the hands cleaner. Consider products with handles made from natural materials, such as finished wood.
– Silicone sponge: This tool is antibacterial and do not generate microplastics. It is easier to clean them thanks to a sealed and flat surface.
– Sea sponges: Found in the ocean, they are eco-friendly and not very abrasive. [10]
