6 Frubby sponges: 2 apples, 2 guavas and 2 lemons. Each is about 9 × 8.6 cm (3.5 × 3.4 in), with a slot at the bottom for your faucet.

Sound familiar?See the corners that aren’t there anymore? Those crumbs didn’t disappear. Most kitchen sponges are polyurethane foam — a plastic — with a polyester scrub pad glued on top, and every time you scrub, a little of it wears away.
It ends up on the plates you eat from, the glasses you drink from, the forks that go straight into your mouth. You swapped the plastic containers for glass for a reason. The sponge touches every single one of them.
The same job at the sink. A very different thing touching your plates.

Soft side for glasses, scrub side for pans — and when you’re done, it hangs on the tap and drips dry.
Yes. Both sides are plant cellulose — the colorful fruit side and the white honeycomb scrub side. There is no polyurethane foam and no polyester scrub pad in it, so what wears off as you wash is plant fiber, not plastic.
No. The soft side is for glasses, plates and bowls, and the honeycomb side scrubs pots, pans and non-stick without scratching them.
Rinse it, squeeze it out and slide the slot over your tap. It drips into the sink and dries between washes instead of sitting in a puddle, so it doesn’t turn sour.
Like any kitchen sponge, swap to a fresh one every few weeks. With 6 in every pack, there is always a fresh fruit waiting in the drawer.
Put it in the compost. It’s plant cellulose, so snip it into small pieces and add it to your home compost instead of the bin.
