  1. I've been on a mission to reduce the amount of non-recyclable, non-composable trash I produce. These sponges caught my eye because not only are they compostable, they have a rough side that can give dishes a real scrub. This is a terrific vendor: they contacted me to let me know there would be a delay and offered to cancel the order. I said no, I'd wait for the sponges. And then they arrived, with hardly any delay at all!

  2. I've been lifting weights for over 30 years, during that time I've used gear from many different companies. These sleeves arrived in just a few days, well packaged, and in new condition just like the seller described, The quality is right up there with the over priced big names.
