These eco friendly cleaning cloths and sponges are an easy swap.
Multi-use cloth
EcoForce Recycled Multipurpose Cloths are a great multipurpose cloth which can be used wet or dry for a wide range of cleaning tasks. They’re extra soft, machine washable and made up of recycled materials.
EcoCoconut Dish Brush
This dish brush is ethically made in Sri Lanka from coconut fibre (or coir), neatly wrapped around a stainless steel wire. It’s non-scratch, so perfect for non-stick pots and pans and safe on plates, dishes, glasses and stubborn tea stains on mugs.
Stylish and super
Jangneus Design Cloths are highly absorbent beautifully designed cloths made from cellulose (a by product from paper making) and recycled cotton. They are washable and also 100% biodegradable. When they come to the end of their life, just throw them on your compost!
Loofah-ing around
LoofCo’s Heavy Duty Scouring Pad is great for cleaning tiles, sinks and bath taps and other places around the house. It’s stitched together for added strength and will last up to 12 months. When its ready to be replaced just pop it on the compost.
LoofCo Washing-Up Pad
The loofCo Washing Up Pad fits neatly into the hand and when immersed in water it swells up to become soft, spongy and flexible. It’s soft enough for non-stick pans and supple enough to fit into mugs. Each durable pad will last for months and when worn out it can be composted.
Kitchen workhorse
EcoForce Recycled Non Scratch Scourers are made from recycled foam and are super absorbent. They can be used for lots of tasks in the kitchen such as wiping clean surfaces, mopping and washing up.
Ditch the kitchen roll
The If You Care Natural Sponge Cloths can absorb more than 20 times its own weight in liquid, which makes it a fantastic replacement to paper towels. This 100% natural cloth is washable, tear resistant and made from a blend of cellulose and non GMO unbleached cotton from renewable sources. The cloths are certified compostable and packaging is made from corn starch which is also certified compostable, leading to a further reduction in waste, greenhouse gasses and diversion from landfill.
Just 1 cloth can replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels.
These eco friendly cloths and sponges can help you to make a big difference to the environment whilst still being an easy swap.
