The 6 Best Organic Kitchen Sponges Under $20 on Amazon

Whether we like it or not, sponges are some of the most used kitchen implements that need frequent replacing. Depending on how often or how heavily you use your organic kitchen sponge, you can replace them between once a month and every two weeks. In the interest of health and cleanliness, some experts even recommend changing your sponge every week. Not only can this be expensive, but disposing of sponges adds to waste that damages the environment.

Fortunately, there are organic and completely safe alternatives to commercial sponges for the earth-friendly homeowner. If you’re looking for a sponge that won’t contribute to waste and will reduce your carbon footprint, consider these organic sponges you can find on Amazon for less than $20.
