3M is a big company...but it would seem their brand Scotch-Brite, makers of all sorts of sponges and what not, is joining the clean green fight with their Greener Clean line. The line includes scrubbers made from agave plant material, reusable/biodegradable sponges made from cellulose (including recycled paper), soap scrubbers filled with biodegradable soap, and even bamboo cleaning cloths.
Has anyone seen these around or used them?
I have used both the bamboo cleaning cloths and the scrubber sponge. I like them both. The bamboo cleaning cloths, made from 60% bamboo-derived rayon and 40% cotton, are really soft--soft enough for body care if you so wished! They have slightly raised pattern, which is good for wiping up "yuk".
The scrubber sponge works great too--the fibers in the sponge are made from 100% recycled paper and the scrubbing fibers are made from 50% natural agave plant, the other 50% is synthetic--but it is a step in the right direction for the largest maker of cleaning sponges in the world!
Another big plus is that these sponges/cleaning cloths will be available in most retail stores within a few months of this post--so a larger population of consumers will be exposed to natural cleaning accessories than ever before--and that will help green cleaning to become even more mainstream.
I wrote detailed reviews on both these products on my blog, Natural Cleaning Product Reviews at www.greenkeen.blogspot.com Check it out!
