If you want to speed up the breaking down of the scrubber, simply bury it underground or put it in your home compost. These kitchen scourers can also be a replacement for steel wire scourers, which while not made out of plastic, often come packaged in plastic, and also have the unfortunate side effect of scratching your pots and pans if used too vigorously.

The first wash will also allow for the true fabulous nature of the waffle to come to life maximising absorbency. I have been using these quite a few years and have only bought 2 x packets of two over all that time. To keep your scourer fresh between uses, squeeze out any excess water, shake out any food particles and rinse thoroughly.Zero Waste Club state that the crafters are paid per scourer made, which allows them to work to suit their need, so they can fit it in easily around their other responsibilities such as caring for their family. I purchased the green wipes to distinguish the difference between nappy wipes and hand/face wipes as well as having both scents to provide variety, and both scents are amazing.

Our coconut scourer is made from sustainably farmed coconut husk’s (outside of dried coconuts), wrapped around a metal wire core with a sustainable beechwood handle. These scourers provide long-lasting dishwashing excellence, as they are durable and won’t lose their shape over time. I decided to set up a system to use the waste from coconut harvesting and turn the waste coir into useful environmentally friendly products. When the time comes to replace the brush for a new one in terms of cleaning the dishes, it could be used to give the toilet a good old scrub or general cleaning around the home instead! This collection embraces natural materials within the kitchen, bringing a unique, organic feel to the home.Since this waste is purchased rather than local coconut farmers in India discarding it, it provides them with an additional source of income. Alternatively, you could extend this product’s useful life by using it as a soap dish to rest your dish soap on.
