Just wanted to tell you- i love this sponge!
(i have tried one before with a walnut shell recycled rough side- but the sponge side was just a normal sponge- which i feel bad about- never knowing when it will return to the earth or if it even should!)
anyhoo- i love this loofah sponge- it is superb!!!!!
thank you for making this biodegradable and extremely functional product.

Here is my story. I clean houses and I was noticing how cheap and horrible most sponges are -- always disintegrating. I prayed a prayer, Like O GOD isn't there a really awesome sponge out there in the world? I had already shopped all the hardware and grocery stores.
The next day I couldn't find a parking space and wound up at the health food store. I found your Euro Sponge #10 there. Maybe this was the answer to my prayer. It was. It is. I cleaned a big messy bathroom and I love it and it's wonderful. Do you have a catalog so I can order more things? The health store only carried one of your products.

I just wanted to tell you how impressed with your sponge. I recently spilled a large amount of ink on my living room rug and spent about an hour trying to scrub it out. Unfortunately, I think the rug may be beyond hope, but I was so impressed at your sponge's ability to absorb ink & water, rinse out eaily, and not disintegrate into bits! After all that scrubbing, it looks good as new, which I've never been able to say about any other sponge.
As I read in other comments, I'd love some sort of easy to use floor mop. (My swiffer is just about the only non-green floor cleaning product I use, because I don't know of a good alternative.)

This is an amazing product! As an environmentalist I am grateful for what your company stands for and applaud your commitment of backing the Global Response organization. As an avid cleaner I am grateful for having such an amazing product that I can use over and over again and feel good doing so! Keep up the good work!!

I found your Loofah sponge #50 at the Annville Health Food Store in Annville, PA. I had been searching for a sponge that was not made of petroleum products!
I wasn't sure what to expect. Your sponges are fantastic! They are long lasting, and don't fall apart like many of the other brands do.
I bought all that the store had. I have been giving them to my friends to try!
And, when my nephews come to visit, I have an activity for them to do in case my witty sense of humor is not satisfying!
I'll put an add on my website for you if you'd like!
Best of luck! We need more products like yours!

When at Whole Foods recently, your Twist Cloths were on sale & I bought them. I LOVE:
Your packaging!;
Your marketing and creative design & copy!;
Your recycling idea (re-using the packaging)!;
Your product!!!!!
For the first time in my old life, these sponges DO NOT smell after being used. Handi Wipes, washcloths, etc always have a terrible odor (mildew) when kept out & wet. Your sponges dry quickly, are extremely durable & after weeks of use, are still going strong. The only problem is that these are so wonderful, I may not need too many any time soon. CONGRATULATIONS! I hope to try more of your products.

First,I will say,I love the loofah sponge #50. I am always bring eco friendly things home and my twin daughters are getting used to our new life style. My question is regarding the sponge clothe #20. I use paper towels in with my lettuce to absorb the moisture and keep it fresh. Could I put the sponge cloth with the lettuce? Would it be safe to put with food? I would love to never buy paper towels again. Please let me know. Thank you for making such a wonderful product!!!!!!!

I saw your products mentioned in a magazine I was leafing through in a reception area (sorry I don't remember the name of the magazine, it had something to do with housing and the role the Navy played in the Katrina clean-up).
I loved the idea of a different kind of sponge and visited your website. It was a bit awkward to find a store carryining your products since you had to type in the name of a town (it would be great if you could type in your town's name or ZIP and do a search based on the area around your base).
Anyway, I made my way to the Whole Foods in Palo Alto, California (had never been there before) and when I couldn't find your products among the "high tech/green" cleaning products, I asked one of the workers. She guided me to the "traditional" sponges and was amazed to see TWIST products on the shelf. At check out, the associate also took a good look at the product and was psyched to try them out on his car! I don't think I've ever bought a product in a grocery store that got so many people excited (POM juice a while back was nothing compared to your buzz!).
I am very happy with my Euro Sponge #10 and European Sponge Cloth #20. Good luck!

Dear TWIST,
For years, I've been searching for a biodegradable, eco-friendly sponge. I personally feel responsible for every wasteful and disrespectful sponge that I've polluted the earth with. I was so delighted to find your loofah sponges at Whole Foods Berkeley, CA, and more thrilled by how durable and effective they are!
Thanks so much for your great products and for caring about the planet too.

I am a sponge girl!! I have always preferred using sponges in the kitchen but have never found a thin one that would stand up for long without falling apart or looking nasty after a period of time. I bought a Euro Sponge#10 at Whole Foods in Boulder a few weeks ago and think it is a great product. I love the fact that it is biodegradable (It always pained me to throw away an old standard sponge - wondering how long it would be with us). I love the fact that you can pop it in the dishwasher as well. I will often put it in the microwave to kill anything that may have happened upon it too.
Thank you , thank you!!
Thank you , thank you!!

I just found your sponges tonight at my local Whole Foods and had to buy one of each. I couldn't wait to come home and try them out. And I just had to write and say a big HUGE Thank YOU for making something great for the earth, stylish and functional ~ WOW! You did it all. I had tried other earth friendly cleaning sponges/loofahs/cloths before only to be disappointed. So now I am happy happy happy and I will never be without one!

The "European cloths" are awesome, and cut down on our paper towel usage substantially. (I am gluten free, but my sweetie is not, so it is a perpetual parade of washing & wiping counters around here.) I've even put it through the dishwasher once, and it is just now (after 2ish months) begining to show wear.

what's good for the kitchen sink is good for the planet, quite a noble crusade..i have used your loofah/soft sponge scrub for quite a bit. downside is, the loofah portion got detached after a few scrubbing of pots and pans :(

I just found your sponges today for the first time in a supermarket and I just got so happy. (Over a sponge..seems silly.. but still.) See, I've tried to avoid plastic products as much as possible, since they don't biodegrade, and this meant I thought I would be washing with old rags for the rest of my life. (Not fun.) When I saw your #50, biodegradable, wrapped just in a small paper sleeve.. I almost jumped for joy. Here is a company which is making useful, wonderful things that don't hurt anything! Amazing! I wish you made alternatives for all of the pervasive evil plastic in our lives.
The point is, thank you very much. You're doing a great thing, and I hope you gain momentum and start making more and more wonderful products
