The cellulose sponge is like a magic sponge
Cellulose sponges have been widely used throughout the creative crafts market and cleaning sponges for the cleaning industry. Cellulose sponges, whether for art purposes or as cleaning sponges, can be cut to any size.
We are able to offer cellulose sponges in a range of colours, cut to any size you require.
In recent years, we have also come up with a process to compress cellulose sponges, which then expands to the original size and state after wetting. This is extremely popular with cleaning sponges for the cleaning industry.
Keeping it green with cleaning sponges
Keeping it green, another increasingly important feature especially for cleaning sponges and with cellulose sponges is that they are biodegradable, which not many consumers are aware of.
We are proud to be the largest UK importer and distributor on natural sponges from the sea. Our natural sponges are bought directly from divers in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. These natural sponges are cut from the deepest waters where we believe only the very best quality grows.
Once you've used natural sponges you won't use anything else to bathe with.
We supply natural sponges to UK's main retailers such as Tesco's, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Mothercare.
