Congrats to winner Katie!
I love a clean home - I can't help it, it's an obsession (
which is why you see so many cleaning product reviews here!). Rubber gloves, sponges, scrubbers - I have used them all! But all the while I'm cleaning with products found in supermarket shelves, a part of me always goes :
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! there you go, not respecting Mother Earth". It's a pesky little voice that just won't quit! But now I can make it shut up by using
TWIST natural and eco-friendly household cleaning tools made with simple and smart designs.
In 2006,
TWIST founders Egil Wigert and Brian Ross took a closer look at the sponges in their kitchens and realized something profound. Almost every other product in the cleaning aisle has undergone some kind of evolution, while sponges and other cleaning tools have been the same for decades. They set out to turn the world of cleaning tools on its head – combining design and environmental responsibility to create functional, beautiful, and responsible alternatives.
All TWIST products are 100% biodegradable, free of dyes and are top-rack dishwasher safe.
- Bamboo Cloth: Made from 82% bamboo and 18% corn, the Bamboo Cloth is a 100% biodegradable cloth that is perfect for dusting, drying and polishing.
- Dish Dumpling: The Dish Dumpling is a chubby little nugget of sponge power, packed in an agave wrapper. It makes removing even baked-on food kind of funn. Best of all, the Dish Dumpling is dye free and biodegradable.
- Loofah Scrubby: The Loofah Scrubby is a gentle, biodegradable sponge completely covered with a super scrubby loofah – great for scouring and scrubbing pots and pans.
- Loofah Sponge: The Loofah Sponge is one side absorbent sponge and one side natural loofah. Our earth-friendly Loofah Sponge offers safer and more effective scouring and scrubbing power for scratch-prone pans.
- Naked Sponge (small, medium & large sizes): A fresh twist on a conventional sponge, the Naked Sponge offers a dye-free, durable, 100% biodegradable, and stylish option for day-to-day cleaning. Now available in 3 convenient sizes!
- Ravioli Scrubby: A hemp burlap pouch filled with an all-natural, biodegradable sponge, the Ravioli Scrubby cleans and gently scrubs – perfect for baked-on food, tough grease and stubborn dirt.
- Sponge Blossoms: These small and handy sponges can hang anywhere around the house in case of the sudden need for a quick,durable and effective cleaning tool. Just add water, and watch the sponge blossom grow to a full-size sponge – ready for cleaning and wiping.
- Sponge Cake: A new spin on a conventional product, our Sponge Cake offers a durable, biodegradable, and stylish option for day-to-day cleaning.
- Sponge Cloth: With the absorbency of a paper towel and the reusability of a sponge, the Sponge Cloth is a modern and eco-friendly solution for wiping even the messiest of spills. It’s long lasting (one Sponge Cloth equals approximately 17 rolls of paper towels) and biodegradable (the Sponge Cloth disappears after 8-15 weeks if buried in the soil).
But how is
TWIST different? Good question!
TWIST Points of Difference:
- Eco-friendly - The cellulose used to make TWIST products is sourced from renewable tree farms. In addition, TWIST takes special care to make sure most of its waste is reused in production, and is committed to continually improving production process to minimize the effect on the environment. Even the paperboard packaging on many can be turned into a bird feeder or a bird mobile. How’s that for a twist?!
- Innovative Designs - Durable, biodegradable and stylish, TWIST products offer a new approach to kitchen and bathroom cleaning through innovative and effective designs. For example, TWIST’s Loofah Sponge is the only sponge on the market with one side absorbent sponge and one side natural loofah. And, it offers safer and more effective scouring and scrubbing power for scratch-prone pans.
- Efficiency - In addition to having equal or better efficacy as comparable conventional products, TWIST products are more durable and longer lasting. For example – with the absorbency of a paper towel and the reusability of a sponge, one TWIST Sponge Cloth is equivalent to approximately 17 rolls of paper towels.
- Philanthropy - In partnership with Global Response, TWIST works to protect the diversity of our planet and the rights of all people. Find out more at www.twistclean.com/globalresponse.
They were kind enough to send me some of these great, eco-friendly cleaning products for review and I can't put it in better words than -
they WORK! And wonderfully, to boot! I'm so happy with them. The Dish Dumpling is better than even the metal scrubs at getting out those crusty remains while the Loofah sponge manages to get even the stubborn stains my toddler is so adept at creating, off of the floors. The same with the European Sponge cloth that's worked wonders on my crayon covered wallpaper. And the Naked sponge is so good for my counters and the spills thereof.
