Works Great & Helps to Save the Planet

I use these sponges, along with the Peppermint & Tea Tree Gentle Home Cleaning Scrub, to clean my kitchen. Love both of these products!

Outstanding

After many years of using another cinnamon flavored brand it changed somehow and was very disappointing. I tried HUPPY and love it. Easy to use, flavorful, cleans teeth very nicely without an aftertaste. I started using it the day of my semi-annual cleaning so in six months we shall find the results. I am confident it will be a winner. As an avid recycler I appreciate not putting anymore plastic in the landfill too!

Compostable Tall Kitchen Bags, 13 Gallon

Yes!

No more wasteful detergent.

Love this product! No waste for landfills and my laundry always comes out clean and fresh smelling!
