Just bought the Euro Sponge #10, NOT having looked at the tiny print with thickness measurement under the label, but just thinking "Euro". I have to say that the European sponge cloths are easier to use, so please consider making your Euro Sponge much thinner. I honestly thought there were two in the package! The thinner sponge (such as Vileda)are wonderful to use in the kitchen!

Just wanted to say how much I love the sponge cloths. I received them as a gift and now cannot live without them. They oulast every sponge or sponge cloth I've ever used. Great product and environmentally friendly. Love it!

I have started using the loofah sponges and was very excited to try them out. I am pleased with their cleaning performance and they handle very well--- the only serious problem I have found with them is that they do not dry out overnight like most sponges, even if left propped up with air allowed on all side. Thanks.

I discovered the Twist European Sponge Cloths during a trip to Williams-Sonoma, and found myself interested in them. With packaging that boasts a single cloth will outlast 17 rolls of paper towels, spending six dollars on a four pack of sponge seemed worth my while.
Three months later, I am only now considering retiring the first cloth for a second. I’ve used the cloth mainly in the kitchen for cleaning up after meals, scrubbing counters and appliances when needed. The Twist European Sponge Cloth has come through for me much better than any brand of paper towel I’ve used in the past. With the Twist towel, surface cleaning is very quick, and spills typically require a single wipe-through to get the entire mess.
As far as cleaning the towel itself, a simple rinsing is all it takes to restore the towel. To keep it clean on a long-term basis, I just throw it into the dish washer or zap it in the microwave while it’s still wet.
Considering that my culinary skills usually leave my kitchen in disarray by the end of the night, one of these cloths probably goes beyond 17 paper towel rolls in our home. It’s hard to imagine that Twist European Sponge Cloths could get any better, although they do. Twist’s products are earth-friendly. The towels are 100 percent biodegradable, and the packaging gives directions on how to turn it into a bird house.
How about that? An economically and ecologically efficient product that is also fun. I will definitely be purchasing these towels again.

At the beginning of the year, I started a project to try and write the manufacturer or provider of every good or service I buy in 2009 (only 1 letter per entity). I recently bought a "Eurosponge" from Twist Clean, so here is your letter.
Honestly, I only noticed Twist Clean's products at my neighborhood's co-op grocery because of the simple yet flashy packaging/fonts/etc....that, and the name "eurosponge." When in the market for some cleaning supplies, how could one resist a biogradeable, slightly-larger-than-normal sponge with a name like that? I couldn't.
The best part is that the sponge has performed as your website advertises. That's not always the case with either eco-friendly DIY or mass-produced cleaning surrogates. Kudos to your developers and design team (the database here on this website to search for where Twist Clean is sold is pretty snazzy too, by the way).

I uploaded a shot of my bird feeder. They chewed up the bottom of the feeder, so I had to patch it up a bit. Having a feeder on my balcony has made a world of difference. I have two large sliding glass doors, so I get a great view of the birds. Your paper feeder sparked my interest in bird feeding and (casual) watching. Thank you so much for your wonderful package design, and the wonderful products they contain, and thank you for helping me acquire this new hobby.
Cheers!
Cheers!

Just wanted to let you know that the new stitching on your Loofah Sponge #50 is a great idea!
I love your product but the biggest complaint that I had was that occasionally the spongy side would come apart from the loofah side. This has solved the problem!
The little tag that you have included is a nice touch but probably not necessary.

You should make a go green gift pack with cute eco packaging. I made one this week but I had to secure everything to a reusable tote I got from my local co op. My newly married friend loved it and is surprised the sponges have stayed white through pasta night. Anyways thanks for all the cleaning memories and bacteria bye byes. lol

I love your products!!! I purchased my first naked sponge about a month ago. I a mother of three messy kids. I have used them all over my house everyday and they are still as clean and odorless as the day I got them. I love that you can throw them in the dishwasher and they stay intact.I just went out today and got the ravioli scrubby, it made my stainless steel sink shine without scratching it!! Thanks for making such innovative and eco-friendly cleaning tools.

After talking with one of your Reps (Daniel Morrison) I went out to Whole Foods in Brentwood, MO and picked up one of you amazing sponges. They felt the same as those bright yellow and green sponge and I was always worried about accidentally consuming the green side when it would scrape off when I cleaned my cheese grater. Thanks for the great product and great design.
A few months later I was told by Daniel to try out the Dish Dumpling and boy does that thing scrub. Keep up the good work!

I just found your cleaning sponges. I bought the naked sponge and the euro sponge. I LOVE them. Im new to the whole eco-friendly lifestyle. And i have to say, with your cleaning sponges, it was a tiny bit easier!
But, after looking at your website, hopeful to find more great products, i am left wanting more from your great company. I think you should make a scrub brush of sorts for say: the bathroom tile, or the toilet bowl. And/or, also a floor cleaning alternative to the swifer sweeper.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work! I will never again buy the bright yellow and green sponges!

I found your sponges today in Vitamin Cottage in Longmont, CO while I was shopping for an alternative to the "kitchen sponge". I purchased Loofah Sponge #50 and put it to work immediately when I returned home. I am in love. It is by far the best kitchen sponge I have had. Thank you for a great product!

Your products are phenomenol! Efficient, attractive, long lasting and clean green conscious all at the same time. I found your products in a mom and pop grocery up the street from my home...am going to ask how they found you. I am telling everyone about these great cleaning sponges and cloths and how the textures have made cleaning new again and more fun. We all need more fun and companies like you to support the environment.

I don't think I have ever posted a note about a cleaning product; this is a first. Today I purchased a Twist Naked Sponge, and I really love it. Thank you for making a wonderful product that is also respectful of the planet.
Bravo!

About a month ago I ran across your products at Skagit Valley Food Co-op in Mt Vernon, WA. I was immediately intrigued. I'm a bargain shopper and a clean freak, so a $4 hippie sponge from Boulder had me skeptical. But I had recently read about the massive amount of plastics in our oceans so the idea of natural fiber cleaning tools pushed a newly exposed button. I bought the Dish dumpling, the Euro sponge and two bamboo cloths. It's been about a month and the Euro sponge is kicking counter-top butt. I like how it has a different texture on each side. One acts like a squeegie and the other kinda buffs and polishes. The bamboo cloths work as advertised as well. The dish dumpling is a whole different story. It might be the best thing I've ever done the dishes with. It cleans everything and the natural fiber feels really cool. I haven't come across any gunk it can't bust up. I just wanted to thank you for offering some cool products and let you know we will buy Twist again, but not until the dish dumpling is totally unrecognizable.
Thanks
Thanks

Just got your Bamboo Cloths. Very versatile! Have used them in an old swiffer mop as a hardwood duster and they work great. The best thing is that they are washable!
On a side note, would be great if you can look into creating a baby bottle sponge. Not only do most smell like vinyl, but they come apart after no time.
Thanks for caring about the environment and our pocketbooks!

Dear Twist People,
I just unwrapped and used the naked sponge--finally something for the kitchen that is not some horrendous color that matches nothing. I think you have some brilliant ideas, how about some environmentally-friendly gloves for washing the dishes in a white-ish kind of color?
I have been supporting your company since I first saw it at Whole-Foods, will continue. Bravo for great idea, design and taste. Love it!

Thank you so very much for the sample Twist products! I just received this generous box of your beautiful, wonderful products and I plan to use these as teaching tools in my Green Technology and architecture design courses at CU. My own work focuses on building materials from cellulose (diverted waste) so the Twist products will provide powerful examples when explaining to my students the value of cellulose as a replacement to petroleum in consumer products.
I’ve been using Twist products since I first read about them in the Boulder “Daily Camera” and will continue to support your company by passing along the good words to my friends and to my students at CU. The products work great and I’m able to compost them (when they finally wear out, which isn’t often!)
Please extend a huge thanks to Brian Ross for the samples that I received and send him my congratulations on his brilliant products and company. I’m cheering you on and wish everyone at Twist great success (and fun) in your work.
My students and I will be building a solar-powered prototype building in Boulder from our newly invented “BioSIP” structural insulated panel system so I’ll let you know when we’re ready for the unveiling of this patent-pending diverted cellulose panel product.
Cheers to Twist!
