Luxurious anti-microbial sponge alternative for face, body, dishes, surfaces & fruit.  Produced on a carbon-capturing regenerative farm in the USA.  Since coarse wool is felted, it becomes even more scrubby with use. This means the sponge will condense in size over time to become denser and stronger working. Why Wool | Coarse wool is an ideal sponge alternative for many reasons. It repels odors and has antimicrobial & anti-fungal qualities, preventing it from getting smelly. Its moisture-wicking ability allows for quick drying. Wool is a durable, biodegradable natural fiber that outlasts synthetic fibers and does not contribute to the microplastic crisis. Most users report 6 months to a year per sponge. Scrub Care | Wash with soap and warm water after each use, then air dry. Optional to use a dishwashing machine. Machine users have found this shortens the wool scrub’s life to around 4 months. Do not wash in the laundry machine. Placing in the sun periodically can further sanitize and return white color. It will tighten with first use and remain the size of a regular dish sponge. Firmness may increase over time to gain scrubbing power. Once worn thin, compost them. Regenerative Farm | The sheep who grew this wool spend their whole lives on open pastures. Seasonally sheared, the wool is then washed and handmade into these scrubs and our dryer balls without any bleach processing. This family farm has been deemed Climate Beneficial™ by Fibershed, which ensures eco-friendly practices through a certified Carbon Farm Plan. This plan prioritizes land stewardship and long-term climate benefits over short-term profit.
