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.

This is Some Sponge!
A sponge is a sponge but not these lovely orbs of squishiness. The sight of a soppy sponge on the kitchen sink ledge is unsightly. These French sponges look pretty and they feel so good in the palm of my hand. I use them primarily for washing glasses and vintage plates. I never thought I’d go nuts over a sponge!
The Perfect Kitchen Sponge
I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to have a beautifully soft sponge to wash glassware & dishes that is designed to fit well in your hand. I have small hands and these sponges, although larger than they look in the picture, fit very comfortably in my hand. Just love these sponges!
