Cleaning.

We all do it.

Well, some of us do it.

Privileged as I am with this title, I highly value the finer tools of the trade.

And given the hours I spend wiping and suds-ing, I demand a top-of-the-line sponge.

Because any other sponge is just total wannabe garbage.

And a soggy old dishcloth?

Ugh, dont get me started.

Pop-up sponges have made me a proud sponge snob.

Supple and dense, they retain their integrity for up to a month or longer.

Not only does this destroy the odors, but the sponge looks quite new.

Each one emerges from the package in a tidy, bone-dry flat strip.

You run it under water to get it to pop up like magic.

For a more dramatic popping, submerge it in a tub or water.

Theyre compostable.These sponges are made with cellulose, a biodegradable plant fiber.

Because it has for me.

Baby, Im worth it, and you are, too.
