The resilient washing-up sponge is the first washing-up glove at hemp produced in short circuit in Belgium. It is knitted in Wallonia's last knitting mill and developed in close collaboration with its users. Together, we have developed an effective, hygienic and quick-drying sponge.

Caring for your hemp sponge

• Rinse your sponge with cold water and wring it out before leaving it to dry : if you wipe liquids that are rich in tannins, such as wine. wine, the coffee or the tea, chis will prevent tannins bite into the fibres of your sponge and darken the colour.
• Hang your sponge by its composition label for faster drying.
• Squeeze your sponge glove dry. Do not twist it. Manual wringing with excessive twisting could break the cotton assembly thread of your glove. A cotton thread assembly allows you to compost your product at the end of its life. However, these threads are not as resistant to stress as polyester threads.
• If you need to throw away a pot of boiling water (cooking water, leftover boiling water in the kettle, etc.), Take the opportunity to pour it over your sponge. Leave to cool so as not to burn yourself, rinse if the water contains organic residues (starches or other), and off you go for several weeks of odour-free use.
