Call us crazy but nothing gets us more excited these days than hearing about a good sponge. Yes, you know you’ve reached peak adulthood when the sight of an innovative new cleaning product gets your pants wagging the same way.
And a sponge that can tackle hard dried-on stains whilst also being gentle to our surfaces? Consider us giddy.
This clever new sponge from Homethings is pretty special. In fact, customers have called it a ‘miracle’ for its schmazeballs cleaning powers.
It arrives looking a little dry little biscuit.
Seriously, this thing looks less hydrated than us the time we did a hike during a heatwave with only a small carton of juice in our possession.
But get it wet and that’s when things get wild (mind out of the gutter). This sponge will grow in size and become your new cleaning buddy. It’s super absorbent and great at tackling all stains and your washing up.
Best of all, the sponge is a little sustainable showstopper. It’s compostable, long-lasting and doesn’t contain any micro-plastics. Oh yeah, she know she fine.
Plus, the large size means you can cut it up and have lots of little sponges for those various household tasks. Be it your washing up or your bathroom sink, the choice is yours.
The reviews for this sponge have been GLOWING.
One happy customer said: ‘Absolutely amazed at how these transform into a normal looking sponge! Was sceptical at first but now I won’t look back. The best thing is they’re actually really good at cleaning too.’
Another added: ‘What kind of magic are these made of?? I don’t really use sponges but bought them out of sheer amazement. Now I use sponges!’

I mean that’s a ringing endorsement if ever we heard one. A former non-sponge user now can’t get enough of their expanding sponge. Anyone wanna hazard a guess at what their new dinner party trick is?
Another reviewer seemed to think cleaning was only allowed at dinner, admitting: ‘A sponge is not just for tea-time!’ Thankfully it seems she’s now been freed from those shackles.
One customer described the sponge exactly how we imagine our exes would describe us, simply saying: ‘How can something so thin be useful?’ as another added: ‘Definitely something that everyone needs in their cleaning kit.’
While at £7 they’re hardly cheap in the sponge department, but does it help that once they’re done you can just chop them up and add to your compost or food bin?
