Twist Sponges & Scrubbers
I love the twist line of sponges & scrubbers. I love that they're biodegradable so I can throw them in my compost pile when I'm finished with them. I also love that you can throw them in the dishwasher or boil them to sanitize them (I also soak in vinegar once a week). I love the euro sponge and the scrubber sponge with loofah. Until I have time to grow my own loofah's I'll be buying Twist products.
Twist products are also very well priced, they are only slightly more expensive than a conventional product. This is a huge plus as it makes more people likely to use them.
I wish however that they would not package their products in plastic. They would be much better if simply packaged in the cardboard wrapper that can be composted as well.

Great for Camping, Great for Travel!
They definitely have their place - Sponge Cloths work great for camping. I used them traveling throughout Europe as a wash cloth (cut in squares) and as a towel to wick away moisture. They dry quickly, which is great when you're on the road. However, at home, I prefer using cloth wash rags and cloth hand towels in the kitchen (1) to avoid the over-use of paper towels, which were originally designed and intended for occasional use, and (2) to avoid accumulated bacteria that sponges harbor.

Eco sponges?
Twist is a company, started in Boulder Colorado, that makes natural, biodegradable sponges and "new twists" on sponge design. The European Sponge Cloth is a cross between a paper towel and a sponge. It is large and thin like a paper towel, but it's made of sponge-like material so it's absorbent and reusable.
I bought a pack of the European sponge cloths, and I like them. I've definitely saved more than a few paper towels by using a sponge cloth instead of paper. I'm a little concerned about using them for a long time, though, because sponges are notorious for harboring bacteria over time.
Twist's products are biodegradable, and the packaging is earth friendly and recyclable. The cardboard packaging can also be made into a bird feeder! I'm not sure how relevant biodegradability is if your sponges end up in a landfill as most trash does, but the company appears to be committed to environmental responsibility on many fronts.

The sponges can be washed in the dishwasher, boiled, or microwaved to be sanitized. Boiling makes them almost like new. more »

Thanks for the sanitation tips, Daniel! I did not think about using a dishwasher or microwave. And, yes, they are as good as new, once laundered. more »
