Product Information

I’ve just changed the head on mine again so I snapped a photo to show you how simple it is (see above photo). It just slots on and stays firmly in place.

Head to our kitchen cleaning products range to find all the products you’ll need from a selection of the best brands going to keep your kitchen sparkling. From washing up liquid to surface spray and oven cleaner, your kitchen will be squeaky clean in no time. A dishcloth is something that I’ve had in my home since childhood. It can be used for washing up and cleaning the kitchen, dining room and any areas where food is consumed. In Australia, Biome sells its own brand which also has sisal bristles. You can also buy a dishwashing set that includes castile soap and a storage dish. The only flaw is that some brands aren’t as hard-wearing as a synthetic sponge and they don’t last as long if you put them in the washing machine (dishwasher, microwave or boiling is fine for sterilising them though).For several months I’ve been trying out Swedish dishcloths from Ethical Superstore which are made from cellulose and can be put in the home compost at the end of their life. It is made from bamboo or FSC-certified wood and has vegan, plant-derived bristles. Once they’ve finally worn out you can take the head off the handle and replace it separately, saving yourself a bit of money (it’s home-compostable too). There are also brands that have got creative by designing eco-friendly sponges that have a mixture of cellulose and different sustainable materials to replicate the conventional sponge-scourer style.

A loofah is a plant-based sponge that is part of the cucumber family. It is hard when dry but when you get it wet it turns soft and expands. In the US, there is a very similar version by a brand called Full Circle. Their bristles are made from recycled plastic. It is also available as a set with a ceramic soap dispenser. Cellulose, made from wood fibres, has a much less toxic manufacturing process than synthetic materials. It’s an ideal product if you want a 100% plastic-free option with no hidden polyester.

There are naturally antibacterial options, and even sustainable sponges for those of you that love plastic sponges and would prefer an eco-friendly alternative. Conventional plastic sponges are mass-produced without a second thought about the impact they have on the environment. By choosing handmade products, you know it was made intentionally and your money isn’t going to a billionaire CEO of a faceless company. They sell loofah sponges with a little handle on them and cleaning pads that have been sewn around the edges to make them tougher. The washing-up pad is flexible and can be squashed down into smaller spaces whereas the washing pads are stiff. Need something smooth and straightforward? You’ll find simple everyday cleaning sponges. Got a baked-on dish that a traditional sponge just won’t solve? Discover our scourer sponges with a little extra toughness for those persistent dishes. You can also shop for cleaning cloths for everything from microfibre to biodegradable options. Washing up sponges

A popular UK brand is Loofco; their products are handmade in Sri Lanka where employees receive fair wages. Or if you’d prefer natural bristles, Zero Waste Outlet have chosen sisal bristles (from the agave plant) with the option of a three-piece set. Did you know dishcloths are another item that is made from unsustainable materials, like synthetic polyester or microfibre which are made from petrochemicals and shed microfibres into the ocean?They are trying to work out what that means for our health, but studies of this nature take a very long time. Discover our wide range of innovative and efficient scouring products. We have everything from heavy duty metal scourers for tough cleaning, to non scratch sponge scourers for more delicate tasks. Crude oil (and other fossil fuel) corporations are the biggest contributors to climate change. Oil is used to make plastic and other synthetic materials.

In the UK, Scrubbies washing up pads not only look great thanks to their cheerful designs but are also made to be compostable at the end of their life. Cleaning is not just a chore for the faint-hearted. Make cleaning bearable with the right tools like a sponge or scouring pad. Alliance UK online has all the tools to keep your kitchen looking spic and span. Handheld dish brushes are ideal for tough dried-on food residue and for cleaning pots. They are easy to hold, clean effectively, and last a long time. I keep mine clean by washing it in hot soapy water and sterilising it by placing it in a mug of boiling water. You could also use Milton tablets. The scariest part is that hazardous chemicals, such as pesticides, that are also in the water are absorbed into the microfibers, making them highly toxic… which brings me to the next point. I love the handle - it’s lightweight and easy to hold. You can wash up without getting your hands wet and the bristles get in all the nooks and crannies.

Those yellow and green sponges you’ve probably been using your entire life are made out of plastic. Every time you use that cheap, little sponge you are accidentally washing tiny particles of plastic into the sea. These sponges are incredibly cheap and are often considered disposable. I’ve heard horror stories about people using a single sponge each day to avoid germs. When choosing a scouring pad, you must consider the surface that it will be used on. You may unintentionally damage your cookware and utensils. We also supply non-scratch scouring pads. Our Sponges, Scouring Pads & Scourers range include colour coded scouring pads which are not only great for removing stubborn marks such as burnt on food and grease, but as they are also available in 5 colour choices to prevent the risk of cross contamination.
