Luxurious anti-microbial sponge alternative for face, body, dishes, surfaces & fruit. Produced on a carbon-capturing regenerative farm in the USA. 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. Each wool scrub is individually boxed.
