Sponge's scrubber layer is made from a hemp and cotton blend. Hemp has a tough texture and it's antimicrobial and antibacterial properties help sanitize the sponge. The soft part of the sponge is made from cellulose, a 100% natural and biodegradable material. Cellulose is the most abundant natural organic compound on Earth. It is the main structural component of plant cells. Cotton is a versatile and a durable material. It is mixed into the scrubber layer to add softness. It is pleasant touch and it prevents scratching surfaces.  Spongik's dryer is made from a very unique and anti-bacterial material - Diatomaceous earth. Is a naturally occurring mineral that is made of microscopic skeletons of algae that have fossilized over millions of years. The dryer instantly absorbs moisture from its surface, and helps the sponge dry faster.

Regular kitchen sponges were proven to represent the biggest reservoirs of active bacteria in the whole house. A dishwashing sponge is 200,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Researchers found 362 different species of bacteria, located in sponge’s porous structure, with bacterial density of 45 billion per cm2. Made out of 2 polyurethane polymers, conventional dishwashing sponges can’t be recycled, composed or biodegrade. Around 50 billion kitchen sponges are disposed annually. 

The sponges are anti-bacterial and plastic-free.
