Understanding the world of original sponges

Definition and specificities of an original sponge

An original sponge is not just a simple cleaning utensil. It stands out for its composition, design and effectiveness. Where a classic sponge remains functional, the original sponge adds value thanks to materials such as plant fiber , cotton or microfiber, offering better protection of surfaces.

The different types of original sponges

There are several models that appeal to customers with their diversity and availability.

The Scrub Daddy sponge or magic sponge changes side according to the temperature: soft and absorbent under hot water, more scrubby and effective under cold water.

Some multi-purpose versions are reusable and designed with two sides, one soft and the other more scouring, ideal for quick cleaning. Others, like Scotch Brite sponges, are sold in sets or packs, sometimes in green, red, or even with a scouring pad.

A bit of history: where do sponges come from?

The first plant-based sponges used by humans came from the sea, known for their absorbency and softness.

Today, models made from plant fibers or reusable microfibers are returning to a sustainable approach.

Some come directly with a small user guide or are sent in a multi-use pack. The story clearly shows the evolution of the basic utensil towards the original product, more respectful of the natural composition and the expectations of modern customers.
