    What Are Cellulose Sponges?

    Cellulose sponges are natural cleaning sponges made from compressed plant cellulose, a natural material derived from wood pulp. They start compressed and flat, then expand into a soft, effective cleaning sponge when wet. They have a very similar texture to conventional kitchen sponges made from plastic foam, but cellulose sponges are biodegradable and compostable at the end of their life. 

    How Do I Use and Care for My Cellulose Sponge?

    These natural kitchen sponges are perfect for washing dishes and surfaces. simply get it wet to magically pop up the sponge, and use to clean as normal! Check out the video here for more info!

    To keep your sponge fresh:

    • Rinse thoroughly after each use
    • Allow it to air dry between uses
    • Occasionally sanitize in boiling water or the dishwasher top rack

    Proper care helps extend the life of your sponge.

    Why Switch to Natural Cellulose Sponges?

    Traditional kitchen sponges are often made with plastic foam that sheds microplastics during use. Switching to a plant-based cellulose sponge is a simple way to reduce plastic in your kitchen while still getting effective cleaning performance.

    Nature Bee cellulose sponges are approximately 4 inches across  and ½ inch tall when expanded (may expand slightly larger when wet).

    Cellulose Sponge FAQ's

    Are cellulose sponges reusable?

    Yes! Cellulose sponges are designed to be reused again and again. With proper care, they can last for weeks-months, making them a durable and eco-friendly alternative to single-use sponges!

    What are cellulose sponges made of?

    Cellulose sponges are made from natural plant cellulose derived from wood pulp, making them a more eco-friendly alternative to many traditional synthetic kitchen sponges which are made of plastic foam. Because they are plant-based, cellulose sponges are biodegradable and compost naturally at the end of their life! They are an easy swap for a plastic-free kitchen!

    What can I clean with a cellulose sponge?

    Cellulose sponges are ideal for many everyday cleaning tasks around the home. They work well for washing dishes, wiping kitchen counters, cleaning surfaces, and general household cleaning. The soft texture makes them gentle and non-abrasive, so they are safe for most surfaces.

    Why do cellulose sponges arrive flat?

    Cellulose sponges are compressed during manufacturing and packaging so they can be shipped and stored in a compact form. When the sponge is placed in water for the first time, it quickly absorbs moisture and expands into a full-size sponge ready for cleaning. This compressed format saves space and reduces packaging.

    Absolutely love! Household staple ✔️

    I absolutely love these!

    As fate would have it, my dishwasher broke just a couple weeks after ordering these so in hand washing dishes for a family of 5 for over 3 weeks now I can certainly say that I have put these sponges to the test.

    They seem large at first, but I found the bigger size to be more ergonimical, and I have come to prefer it.

    Because of the heavy use, my sponge did on occasion become stinky which was a reminder to rinse with cool water and squeeze excess out for optimal drying overnight, just as any other sponge requires.

    I love that I'm supporting a woman-owned Canadian business in buying these, I love that they're biodegradable, and my kids and I are absolutely smitten with the colorful fruit designs and the wow effect of seeing them expand.

    These will now be a household staple for our family. Thank you so much, Nature Bee! 🐝

    Great Product

    Great product, nice and small for storage, nice size after rehydration. Flexible but still has enough firmness to get the job done. Has great absorption.

    Love these sponges

    I really love these sponges - they last exceptionally well! But when they are end of life, I love they are compostable! I do wish they were a bit stronger for scrubbing. But either way they do the trick.

    Awesome

    These are great little sponges! After I got my 1st order I ordered 10 more immediately as they sell out so quickly . I highly recommend them. Once they are wet they puff right up - and are great for any cleanup. The fruit designs are so cute also. Very reasonably priced a - Buy them - you won't regret it!

    Like magic!

    I was initially disappointed when I got the sponge. I thought it was so thin, it’s not different from the towels. Then it hit the water and became an actual sponge! And as a sponge, it had the perfect texture for scrubbing plates and cutlery. I highly recommend it, to everyone 😊
