The softest of sponges.
When you think “sponge,” this is pretty much the Platonic ideal—those classic bread-like dimples, and an ergonomic, round pebble shape. Use wherever your cleaning needs a soft touch: Delicate china and glasswares, for instance.

Andrée Jardin
France
For 60 years, Jardin has been making beautiful wood brushes in Brittany, France. Andrée Jardin and her husband, George-René Julio, drew on their old-school know-how when they opened up their factory in 1947, and they’ve since maintained their sense of traditional beauty while incorporating modern, whimsical design touches. Their brooms, brushes, and dusters are some of the only high-quality options made in a traditional way.

LOVE IT.
SOFT AND I JUST LOVE IT. IT CREATES ALOT OF SUDS AND I LOVE THE SOFTNESS. GREAT PRODUCT. I will buy them again.
Wonderful product
I love these sponges. You really save soap because only a little soap goes a long way. They are soft and get bubbly which allows them to clean quickly and well.
Beautiful But...
I could not figure out how to use these. I am moving away from using sponges in the kitchen because it is difficult to sanitize them.
