‼️Comment below “SPONGE” for toxinfree dish sponges and toxinfree dish soaps we love and use!⤵️⤵️⤵️ You know those bright yellow & green kitchen sponges we all have by the sink? Well… every time we scrub a cup or rinse a pan, they’re actually shedding microplastics — teeny, invisible plastic particles — right onto our dishes. ❌ 💡 Studies have found that a single sponge can release ‼️tens of thousands of microplastic particles every time it’s used. And one study estimated that the average household sponge can release up to 1.5 million microplastic fragments per day if you wash dishes often. ‼️Every time we scrub a pan or rinse a cup, those sponges actually shed tiny microplastic fibers — so small we can’t see them — and they end up sticking to our dishes or washing down the drain. 🙈 Researchers found that the friction and hot water break down the synthetic material (usually polyurethane or polyester), so bits of it flake off. That means we’re not just cleaning our dishes… we might be adding invisible plastic dust to them. 🎉Thankfully there are easy cleaner swaps to natural cellulose sponges and loofah scrubbers! ⤵️⤵️⤵️For the full list of toxinfree sponges & kitchen cleaning just comment below “SPONGE”! . . . toxinfree toxinfreeliving nontoxic nontoxicliving toxinfreehome lowtox toxinfreelifestyle nontoxichome sponge sponges kitchen kitchensofinstagram dishes
