ZelluloseSchwämme

ZelluloseSchwämme, also known as cellulose sponges, are absorbent cleaning tools made from processed wood pulp. The production process involves breaking down wood fibers into cellulose and then reforming them into a porous, sponge-like material. This material is highly hydrophilic, meaning it readily absorbs water and other liquids.

Cellulose sponges are popular for household cleaning tasks due to their absorbency and ability to hold soapy water. They are effective at wiping up spills, cleaning surfaces, and scrubbing dishes. Unlike natural sponges which can be porous and harbor bacteria, cellulose sponges are generally more uniform in their pore structure. They are typically manufactured in various colors and shapes to suit different cleaning applications.

While biodegradable, cellulose sponges are still a manufactured product and contribute to waste. Their durability varies, and they are often replaced once they begin to degrade or become heavily soiled. Some modern variations incorporate synthetic materials or antimicrobial agents to enhance their performance or longevity. Their widespread availability and low cost make them a common choice for many consumers.
