Compressed wood pulp sponge — compressed wood pulp (wood pulp cotton) that expands with water into a soft, elastic kitchen sponge. Key benefits Spacesaving and travelfriendly: compressed and hard when dry, it stores flat and compact until needed. Quick activation: absorbs water and swells rapidly into a soft, elastic sponge ready for cleaning. Gentle on hands and surfaces: made from wood fiber, the material is soft, nonabrasive, and gentle on skin. Versatile cleaning performance: soft and elastic texture conforms to shapes for effective wiping, scrubbing light messes, and reaching crevices. How it works Dehydrated state: shrinks, dries out, and hardens for tidy storage. Activated by water: quickly rehydrates, expanding to a pliable, absorbent sponge suitable for kitchen tasks. Material and compatibility Material: wood pulp cotton (wood fiber). Function: designed as a kitchen cleaning tool for general household use. Compatible with routine kitchen cleaning tasks and most nondelicate cookware and surfaces where a soft sponge is appropriate. Practical use scenarios Dishwashing: expand the sponge with water to wash plates, cups, and lightfood residues without harsh abrasion. Countertops and appliances: use the soft, elastic surface to wipe counters, stovetops, and small spills. Travel or small kitchens: keep a compressed spare for camping, RVs, or tightly packed cabinets — expand only when needed. Simple use notes To use: wet the compressed piece with water; it will swell and soften. Rinse after use and allow to dry before storing in its dehydrated form.
