About this deal

We appreciated how little effort it took to get through a load of dishes with the dual scrubbing sides and ability to clean utensils. In the bathroom, we scrubbed with cold water, letting the firm texture take off the soap scum easily.

A second important component of sponges is absorbency because sponges are often used to soak up excess liquid from spills prior to cleaning with a solvent. You also want them to be able to hold soapy water and assist in removing debris. The main purpose of a sponge is scrubbing to remove food and debris. Most often, sponges are used to remove caked-on food from dishes, pans, and utensils, but in determining the best sponge, we found that it needs to be useful in a wide variety of functions. For instance, sponges are also used to scrub stovetops, BBQs, remove soap and scum from bathroom fixtures and tiles, and even wash cars. The mop handle has a compartment built in that you can fill with water plus or minus floor cleaner and a spray trigger is used to dispense the liquid as a fine mist in front of the mophead.

While the size and soft texture of this sponge made it a little unwieldy for doing dishes, we were impressed with its versatility. If it’s a little too large for your job, you can cut it in half without damaging the sponge. But for grimy cookware or baked-on messes, opt for a scouring pad that can cut through tough grease. For household cleaning, versatile sponges like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or a natural sponge are suitable for many surface types. Features Cellulose: Since cellulose sponges are made from plant-based fibers, they are usually more eco-friendly than other materials. When properly cared for, they are reusable for up to six months. They are also usually biodegradable and can be composted at the end of their lifespan. Not surprisingly, the most absorbent sponges took the longest to dry and the least absorbent was fastest, even when they were completely wrung out. We found that the Scrub Daddy was the most versatile, able to wash dishes, remove soap scum from a bathtub and scour the insects off of a tire wheel and car exterior without scratching the paint.

The cleaning mop comes with 4 replacement head refills which can be cleaned in the washing machine. You will find you’ll go for a long time before you need to consider replacing these mop pads. One side is microfiber and when used dry, works like a microfiber cloth and naturally attracts dust. When used wet, it soaks up a spill and doesn’t leave any liquid on your counter or floor. On the other side with dark- and light-blue lines, the surface has a dual-action surface that scrubs and absorbs.This mop is great for laminate floors, tile floors, vinyl floors, and even hardwood floors. It’s strong enough for uneven surfaces and super absorbant so perfect to mop up any unfortunate spills.

The design of this allows for the microfibre mop to clean pretty much every surface using only water, but floor soap can be used if desired. The material is machine washable so this makes mopping waste-free, cheap, and eco-friendly. This means that you could sanitize these sponges at the end of a day, and they would dry overnight. On the other end of the spectrum, the sea sponge and microfiber sponges took a little more than 24 hours to completely dry. What to look for in a sponge

I’ve been busy, looking into and testing out a huge range of microfibre mops and I’ve finally compiled this list of the best options available in the UK. A standard sponge used daily for dishes should last for two weeks. However, sponges you use for household chores can last up to a month. “Natural sponges will deteriorate faster by nature compared to their synthetic counterparts,” says Durda. “Regardless, always be sure to thoroughly rinse and dry your sponge after each use to help extend its lifespan.” Microfiber and silicone sponges can last much longer thanks to their washable, durable make. The Scrub Daddy, holding three tablespoons of water, dried in eight hours. The Dobie Cleaning Pad, which held the same amount of liquid, was a close second at approximately nine hours. There’s also the “hair” on top of the sponge, which we found to be more effective than a bottle brush at getting into awkward corners like drinking glasses and coffee mugs.

Whether using a sponge for everyday dishes, high-use cookware, or the bathroom sink, its purpose will determine what type you need. For surfaces like glass, stainless steel, or mirrors, avoid sponges with rough scouring pads that can scratch or damage the surface. There are several ways you can do this. Some sponges can be placed in the dishwasher for a deep clean. You could also wet the sponge and place it in the microwave for 30 seconds, but make sure the sponge is very wet–otherwise, it could burn or catch on fire. The material that makes up microfibre is ultra-absorbent and creates a static pull that clings onto dust and debris, effectively sweeping into every corner and not leaving small piles of dirt behind. Unlike synthetic sponges (often made from polyurethane foam) or even cellulose sponges (which can have a polyester filling and/or nylon scrubbing pads), The Natural Sea Sponge is 100-percent biodegradable, free from toxins and hypo-allergenic.The head is designed to cover large areas and the microfibre pad is suitable for wet mopping or dry dusting use. If pet hair is an issue then you’ll love the extra scrubber tool that comes with this mop. It can be used on the microfibre mop head to clean away dirt and hair when the pad is used for dusting. After sanitizing with either method, wring the sponge out, and allow it to dry to prevent any new bacteria from growing. Cleaning your sponge on a regular basis will help reduce the risk of growing and spreading bacteria, but you should also replace it frequently. This is especially important with kitchen sponges. Odor indicates the presence of bacteria, so if it starts to have a smell, make sure to toss it out immediately.
