About this sponge

An everyday body sponge from shallow water. Firmer and more open than the deep water sponges, which is what most people want for daily washing.

Every sponge is a natural object, so no two are the same shape.

Looking after it

After every use, rinse it through with plenty of water until nothing is left inside it. Shampoo and shower gel are what shorten a sponge's life. Squeeze the water out and leave it somewhere with air around it to dry.

Once or twice a month, soak it for a quarter of an hour in warm water (warm, not hot) with a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda.

Treated this way it lasts years. Left wet in the corner of the shower, it will not.
