How does the Kitchen Sponge work?
The Kitchen Sponge is made up of fibres and a weave designed to cut through grease and food residue left behind on dirty dishes and cookware. The double-sided sponge has both tough, scourer-like bristles to loosen built-up or burnt-on grime. The fibre side contains our unique wedge-shaped fibres, 100x finer than a single human hair that lift away and trap dirt and grease. Maximise your dish-cleaning power with a few drops of natural washing up liquid.

The effectiveness of ENJOtex Fibres decreases slowly over time. If you’ve been using your Kitchen Sponge for about 3 years, check for general wear, the fibres might be thinning in some areas or may have started to clump and become less effective.
Can I use my Kitchen Sponge with other cleaning products?
ENJOtex Fibres are designed to effectively clean with water only. However, for a little extra help cutting through food residue, we recommend using your Kitchen Sponge with a natural washing up liquid when using to wash dishes.
