AIRNEX 18 Pack Biodegradable Natural Kitchen Sponge - Compostable Cellulose and Coconut Walnut Scrubber Sponge - Eco Friendly Sponges for Dishes

So I try to be a little eco-conscious and I don't know if these in the long run are but it's my attempt. They're decent sponges and they work well. I like buying the big box so I can just grab a new sponge when the other one gets gross.

They are biodegradable. Box comes with 18 in a pack. They are natural—all good things. Mostly, I do like them, but it was a bit of an adjustment. The main issue for me was when you start using a new sponge the scrubby side has these like I guess the coconut fibers which almost feel like little for lack of better word twigs kind of prick you and don't feel comfortable. If you are holding the soft side and using the scrubby side to wash dishes it is alright but if you have to use the soft side so that the scrubby side is against your palm you will get pricked a bit here and there until it softens up after a few uses. It does soften and doesn't feel as prickly after some uses but the initial few uses with the prickly sensation is not comfortable. I was using a previous brand made from walnuts and I didn't have to deal with worrying about getting a splinter.So in the end it is a good value and does a pretty good job of cleaning dishes. Obviously since there are 18 of them I will be using them for quite a while but I don't know for sure if I will buy again after I am done just because of those prickly twig things. It honestly made me feel like I might get a splinter or something. I don't know, I am on the fence about it. I guess it will take time to go through the box so I will see if at the end I find another biodegradable natural sponge that wont prick me. I know there are many now on the market but not all of them are truly eco friendly.That is another pro I will add unto this review is that besides the sponges themselves the box they come in is NOT PLASTIC like others claim to be eco friendly but get sent wrapped in plastic. These come in a thin cardboard box that can be recycled. It didn't come in any plastic which is great.

Ticks all the ecological boxes, so 5 stars. Using the sponge is another prickly matter.Not a soy boy..

These are perfect. I have been using a similar product for years, but I could no longer find it in the local stores. They are eco friendly and at a great price.

They're nice quality sponges for a good value and the right bulk quantity without plastic packaging.
