Natural eco friendly reusable alternative to a disposable sponge scourer. It is made up of 3 layers: the hessian side is used to scrub tough; middle layer is cotton towelling for absorbency; and the cotton fabric layer looks good and acts like an easy wipe cloth. It will last 4-6 months which is far longer than a traditional single use sponge and as its 100% cotton, it is biodegradable after use. Machine washable.
