Use wool sponges to do the dishes, to wash your face & body, or to clean surfaces. Clean and durable, these sponges do not get gross or smelly, and last for a long time. Because wool has natural odor-repelling properties, they do not harbor molds and bacterias, making them a clean and sanitary dish sponge. When you're done with them, they are compostable. From soil to soil.
100% Climate Beneficial™ Wool
How to Wash: Rinse with warm water, squeeze out, and lay flat to dry. Use soap for stains. Do NOT put them in the laundry machine, or they will warp. Sun is a natural sanitizer of wool. These sponges are made of wool and thus will shrink with initial use. Please DO NOT CUT THEM, they will shrink down to the size of a regular sponge, and get a bit more scrubby over time. How long do they last? Most people report between 6 months to a year.
Wool sourced from Ferndale Farms in Ferndale, CA. This wool comes from well-tended sheep raised in Northern CA, benefiting the landscape, climate, and local economy. You can find out more about the ranchers, Jill Hackett and her family, and their animals online and on Instagram: @humboldtherder
