5-Piece Plastic-Free Cleaning Set

The 5-Piece Plastic-Free Cleaning Set covers the whole range of kitchen cleaning, from a gentle wipe to a baked-on pan. Five plant-based tools, arranged softest to toughest: a reusable Swedish dishcloth, a two-sided sponge, a natural loofah, a sisal brush, and a bamboo pot scrubber. Cheerful enough to leave out on the counter.

It's an easy way to clear the plastic sponges out of your kitchen in one go, and a practical starting point if you're new to plant-based cleaning. A good pick for a housewarming, a first apartment, or anyone who keeps meaning to make the switch.

Bought separately, the five pieces come to $32.50.

What each piece does

• Swedish dishcloth (Happy Lilies): Super absorbent and quick-drying, it handles counters, spills, and everyday wiping, then goes in the wash and comes back for more. Printed with natural ink.
• Two-sided loofah and cellulose sponge: Soft cellulose on one side for dishes and glassware, natural loofah on the other when you need a little scrubbing power.
• Natural loofah scrubber: A double-layer oval loofah for tougher jobs where you want more bite than a sponge gives you. Still non-scratch, so it's fine on nonstick with a light touch.
• Sisal cleaning brush: Firm bristles for dishes, jars, and sinks, with a replaceable head so you keep the bamboo handle and swap only the bristles.
• Bamboo pot scrubber: The heavy hitter for stuck-on food, baked-on pans, and cast iron. It's the one piece to keep away from nonstick; reach for the loofah or the sisal brush there instead.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Reach for the dishcloth or the cellulose side of the sponge for everyday wiping and light dishes.
2. Flip to the loofah side, or grab the loofah scrubber, when you need more scrubbing power.
3. Use the sisal brush for jars, sinks, and anything with a stuck-on edge.
4. Save the pot scrubber for baked-on pans and cast iron.
5. Rinse everything after use and stand it up to dry.
