Far better than an "average" sponge
Update, September 8, 2019: It has been a few months and I'm still using my first three sponges (rotating them in and out of the weekly clothes wash. They are really great for the fact that they'll clean really well, and then rinse out almost everything they just cleaned (not like original sponges that always seem to look dirty. The pictures here are after I cleaned the inside of my oven after a burned on spill and how it looks after I washed it with my regular dishwashing soap (Palmolive). There's a tiny bit of a stain left but it comes out in the washing machine. It also cleans up the same after cleaning up blueberry or cherry pie filling. Original review: I REALLY (really) like these If You Care "sponges". They're more like they say, a cloth.... or like a washcloth, but much much better... enter the sponge part of it. They are very absorbant and hold more water than an average sponge (this sponge cloth=1/3 cup, average sponge=1/4 cup). I have never liked the feel of a wash "rag" either, so I wasn't sure how this would go. Well, the cleaning ability I was given was better than before. Because they have a much larger total surface area than an average household sponge, these cloths make doing dishes a lot quicker and easier (these measure 8x6.75 inches or 20x17cm and are about 54sq inch/340sq cm. The area of an average sponge is around 14.25sq inch/90sq cm-with a measurement of 4.75x3in/12x7.5cm. Basically, they're almost 4x's the size). I noticed this especially when washing glasses, because it pretty much encased the entire glass, both the interior and exterior. Then moving on to the plates, etc got easier even so. By far, the BEST PART (next to them being 100% natural and compostable) of these sponges is that they RINSE CLEAN SUPER EASILY!! I cannot stand picking up a dank, sour smelling sponge because a small bit of soap was left in it....icky! If this one is full of a large squirt of soap, I only need to wring it three, maybe four times and ABSOLUTELY ALL of the soap comes out. That alone will save water too.... total win/win/win so far! The package states that each cloth replaces 15 rolls of paper towels and can be machine washed up to 300 times. I haven't gotten that far yet, but definitely will update here as my first one wears down. Lastly, I always read reviews to learn from others how they like or dislike a product, and I love to help people myself (I was a nurse). I am also not compensated for my honesty. If my review has proven to be valuable to you please click so below. It helps me to know if I should keep on doing what I'm doing. Thanks everybody... and definitely get yourself some of these! This is one product that is a great buy on Amazon. *I almost forgot--- the plastic bag these come in can be recycled too. Add it to the other plastic bags whenever you take them in. If you google/search it, you'll find there are many items that can be added to the recycled grocery bags, even if you use your own (ie: the plastic used to mold different products to cardboard,so they can be displayed). Everything needs to be clean and dry though! You can also search/google for places, if needed
