A must-have item for water! Eco-friendly and easy-to-use "Hechima sponge"
It is a 100% natural sponge made by peeling and drying the fruit of the hemlock.
*There are individual differences.
* Since the hemlock is dried as it is, dried seeds and skin may remain
Most common sponges are made from plastic, and every time you wash them with detergent and rinse them, microplastics are leaked out. In addition, dishwashing sponges, which are used every day, are often replaced, which increases the amount of waste.
Why don't you incorporate the eco-friendly "Hechima sponge" into your life and aim for plastic-free and zero waste?
1. Dirt can be removed without the need for detergent
When dry, it is stiff and hard, but when it is wetted with water or hot water, it becomes soft, and the fibers of the hem entangle dirt. If you are worried about oil stains, use a small amount of detergent to make it even shinier! If it comes out, you can cut it into your favorite size with scissors and use it to clean drains.
2. It drains well and is not easy to mold
There are many holes on the surface of the hem, making it easy for air to enter the inside. Therefore, it drains well and is resistant to mold. Great for washing dishes, cleaning, body care, and other plumbing areas! It is also recommended for soap storage where you are concerned about the slimy feeling (please cut the cross section to a length of about 1 cm and use it).
3. After use, return to the soil with compost
Since it is a 100% natural material, it is not thrown away as garbage after use, but returned to the soil by composting. And it is said that the usage period of a general sponge is about 1 month, but the Hechima sponge is about 3 months or more! Depending on how you use it, you can continue to use it for a long time, and it has the advantage of being environmentally friendly, so it can contribute to zero waste.
