Abrade - 2pc CocoHusk-Jute Reusable/Washable Gentle Scrub 'Sponge'

Have you ever stopped to think about those typical bright colored kitchen sponges sold across supermarkets worldwide? They are made from petroleum based polyurethane which is not compostable nor recyclable and most are treated with harsh anti-bacterial chemicals like Triclosan (Google that one!). Not to mention tiny shreds from normal use quickly end up as downstream micro-plastic into our oceans. It's a loose loose proposition for our planet. 

To solve this toxic sponge crisis, our Balinese design team came up with a very simple and 100% natural re-usable solution, a burlap-coconut husk 'sponge'. This washable natural soft sponge scrub come in a pair so that one can be on available while the other one is being washed.

The Abrade 'sponge' produces a very light scrub to get at those tougher pieces of food scraps on plate ware. It is more abrasive than the yellow part and less than the green scrub side of a conventional petroleum polyurethane sponge. It's just right. 

Burlap is made from Jute which grows abundantly and requires very little water and acreage. It is used in crop rotation to improve soil condition and can be harvested every 100 days. That is a crop worth supporting.

The coconut husk inside traps just enough water to squeeze out easily and dry out fast. it should be washed every few days and it should last a long time. 

Do not expect this to act like a conventional petroleum based sponge. This a is a natural product and we are working to improve future versions of it.

Abrade is definitely a real word:) https://www.dictionary.com/browse/abrade
