How it does good
Wiping out BPA and plastic waste
Research shows that, when it comes to bacteria, kitchen sponges are the germiest things in our houses, even dirtier than toilets. It’s no wonder that trillions of sponges are tossed every year, but, when they’re made of plastic and end up in landfills, this can be a big problem for the environment. Inspired to change her life by a medical diagnosis and the revelation that women with PCOS have greater amounts of BPA in their bodies, Sqwishful’s founder aspires toward helping others live their lives plastic-free. Sqwishful sponges are made from plant ingredients, not plastic, and they’re compressed and compostable for a small carbon footprint. They also use renewable resources and partner with suppliers using alternative energy sources.
You can trace Sqwishful’s sponges to sustainably-grown wood pulp from the Pacific Northwest. They source from partners committed to recycling waste and utilizing hydroelectric power.
Learn MoreSqwishful partners with producers and manufacturers who offset their carbon production by planting trees. Their dedication to recyclable, compostable products and packaging keeps waste out of landfills, and the sustainable practices used by their partners are better for long-term plant growth.

After use, rinse out any food stains, then squeeze and let air dry. When a little freshening up is in order, wash the sponge on the top rack of your dishwasher, or boil in water for 5 minutes.

United StatesWorks great!
We really enjoy these sponges and love that they can go right in the compost bin when they are ready to be tossed.
United StatesThe best sponge ever
I’ve tried many sponges but none compares to this one. It fits perfectly in my hand, is easy to wring out, never smells, and lasts a very long time. It also cleans very well and stays white. I purchase several packages at a time to give to friends and they all love them.
United StatesSponge Love
These are the best sponges ever. I am madly in love with these sponges, which is something I truly never dreamed I would say! Fully absorbent, actually feel good in my hand (who knew?!) and they rinse and clean beautifully. I'm buying some to bring to every house I visit, which I realize is beyond bizarre, but I honestly want to share this find!!
United StatesWill never buy any other sponge as long as this one exists
I have bought the squishful plant-based sponges several times now. I love having a compostable alternative that functions and provides the same experience as the common sponges I have been using all my life. From the packaging, to the product itself, this is perfect for the conscious consumer trying to support companies that care about the impact their items have and the end of their product's life.
United StatesLove it,
A perfect replacement for TWIST
