If transforming your home into a more eco-friendly place is important to you, then this zero-waste reusable sponge a good alternative to those traditional throw-away plastic dish sponges.

Made from small scraps of fabric and a mesh fruit bag that would’ve otherwise been thrown away, this project will also use up some remnants from past projects. Choose colors and patterns to brighten up your kitchen and make washing dishes fun again.

When you’re finished scrubbing, just toss it in your washing machine with some towels and dry it on low heat. It’s the sponge that keeps on giving.

I love that blue fabric! Can you tell me the manufacturer and the name of the print?
