Ready, set, scrub.

Who knew our sponges could make such a statement by the sink? This lil’ holder—which, by the way, you’ll only find here—has no shortage of countertop appeal: It was handcrafted just for us by the Farmhouse Pottery artisans in Vermont, then dipped in a milky white glaze. And since it’s all sturdy stoneware, you bet it’s ready to take on suds and splashes (it’s dishwasher-friendly, too). Line it up next to your trustiest soap to keep your cleaning squad organized, and those dishes won’t know what hit ‘em.

We're pairing ours with this clever copper sponge that's extra scrubby without scratching, some heavenly-scented French dish soap from Marseille, and a few cleaning tips that'll help you make the most of your spruce ups while staying kind to the Earth. For even more bonus points: Here’s a few kitchen cleaning tips to help the space you live in and work in the most feel good as new. You're ready to report for dish duty.
