Two jobs, one sponge, and none of the visual noise. The Black and White Scourer Sponge pairs a soft black scourer face with a white cellulose base, so you can scrub and then wipe without reaching for anything else, and the monochrome finish means it can stay out on the bench.

Barkly Basics describes the scourer face as non-scratch and safe on dinnerware, cutlery and utensils, and the white cellulose base as dye free, fully compostable and biodegradable. The scourer itself is a recyclable PET. Each sponge measures 11cm long by 7cm wide by 2.3cm deep, and they come two to a pack.

Why You'll Love It

  • Scourer and sponge in one, so there is one fewer thing by the sink
  • Non-scratch face, described by the brand as safe on dinnerware, cutlery and utensils
  • Dye free white cellulose base from natural wood pulp and cotton fibres
  • Monochrome finish that looks deliberate rather than utilitarian
  • Two per pack

Product Details

  • Size: 11cm L x 7cm W x 2.3cm D each
  • Base: dye free cellulose from wood pulp and cotton fibres
  • Scourer: recyclable PET
  • Brand: Barkly Basics

Keeping the sink tidy

  • Sit it in a small ceramic dish or a silicone tray so the bench underneath stays dry.
  • Pair it with a dish wash and a tea towel from the Barkly Basics range for a sink area that matches.
  • Keep the spare in an under sink drawer rather than leaving both out.
  • Rinse and stand it on edge after use so the cellulose dries out between washes.

Gifting

Good filler in a new home hamper, alongside a hand wash and a cloth from our kitchen range. Nobody buys themselves a nice sponge, which is exactly why it works as a gift.

FAQs

Is it safe on my good glasses and pans?
The brand describes the scourer as non-scratch and intended for dinnerware, cutlery and utensils, so it is made for lifting light food residue rather than scouring a burnt pan.

What is the difference between this and the plain cellulose sponge?
The all white sponge is soft on both sides and made for wiping and absorbing. This one adds a scourer face, so it handles the plates that need a bit of pressure first.

How long should one last?
That depends on how hard you work it, but rinse it out properly, stand it on edge to dry and replace it when the cellulose starts to break down rather than when it looks tired.

In Short

Two black and white scourer sponges from Barkly Basics, each 11 x 7 x 2.3cm, combining a non-scratch scourer face with a dye free white cellulose base. The brand states the cellulose is fully compostable and biodegradable and the scourer is recyclable PET.
