What sponge does not hold bacteria?

A sponge that can dry completely between uses does not hold bacteria. Most kitchen sponges are made of foam, such as polyurethane. The sponge's inner surface is extremely large due to the porous structure. This offers microorganisms plenty of room to grow.✅ Our upcycling Fischnetz dish sponges are not porous and do not soak water. Air can flow through their diamond mesh structure which makes them dry quickly. They do not act as a reservoir of microorganisms and do not hold bacteria.

How often should I change my dish sponge?

Researchers suggest a regular replacement of dish sponges on a weekly basis. Used dish sponges are bacterial hot spots. Their inner surface is extremely large due to the numerous pores offering microorganisms plenty of room to grow.People believe that boiling or microwave treatment reduces the bacterial load in sponges. Quite the contrary, these sanitation methods can actually increase the concentration of the Moraxella osloensis bacterium, that is assumed to be responsible for the bad kitchen sponge smell, as shown by Professor Markus Egert and his researchers.✅ Our Fischnetz with Benefits, on the contrary, do not hold bacteria as they do not act as a reservoir for microorganisms. Therefore they can be used for many years.

How long can I use my Fischnetz?

Fischnetz with Benefits are extremely durable and strong.✅ You can use your Fischnetz for multiple years.

Is the Fischnetz washable?

✅ Yes, it is washable. You can easily machine-wash the Fischnetz or put it into the dishwasher. From our experience, it does not need to be machine-washed or put into the dish-washer. The Fischnetz with Benefits does not act as a reservoir for microorganisms, because it does not soak water and dries quickly. Every time you use it, you actually wash it.

Is this a new product?

No, such nets have been used in Moroccan households for decades. There they already replace millions of kitchen sponges.We were not able to find such nets anywhere in Europe. Our goal is to replace millions of dish sponges with Fischnetz with Benefits in European households too.

Recent studies showed that ghost nets account for 30 to 50% of all plastic waste in the oceans.

Upcycling fishing nets and converting them into new products, like our Fischnetz with Benefits, can reduce the impact on the ocean.

Super Wirkungskraft mit gutem Gewissen

Bei meiner Jugend Freundin lernte ich das Fischernetz kennen, weil ich so intressiert war schenkte sie mir eines. Klar, es brauchte schon schnell eine Angewöhnung mit dem Netz zu reinigen, aber ich war sowas von überrascht wie gut ich das angehockte in der Pfanne weg brachte. Da ich Tauchlehrer war überzeugte mich natürlich auch der Gedanke, dass ihr den Fischern die Netze abkauft und somit die Netze nicht irgendwo im Meer entsorgt werden. Ich bin so begeistert, dass ich jetzt 7 Netze bestellt habe, das gibt tolle
Weihnachtsgeschenke.
Vielen lieben Dank für die tolle Idee.
Alles Liebe Ruth

Tolles Produkt 🙏🏻

Das Netz funktioniert genau wie beschrieben und noch besser als erwartet. Sorgen bereitete mir insbesondere die fehlende Scheuerseite eines Schwamms. Das Fishnet entfernte aber alle Rückstände mühelos und so ist es Schwämmen meiner Meinung nach generell überlegen. Merci ☺️

Einfach Genial

An anfang war ich etwas skeptisch als ich das Netz das erste mal gesehen habe. Aaaber ich würde es nicht mehr hergeben. Sogar mein Partner findet es Super und das heisst was. Fertig mit Stinkenden Schwämmen.
Danke.

Coole Idee

Spült sich so viel angenehmer als mit Schwamm - auch kann nichts verkratzt werden, anders als mit der grünen Seite vom Schwamm

Geniale Idee

Die Netze sind nun länger im Einsatz, finde es toll mit ihnen zu putzen...der einzige Einwand oder Frage ist.....eine zusätzliche Farbe möglich? Habe mir selber eine farbige Schnur drangehängt um Küche Bad zu unterscheiden.....sonst nichts einzuwenden

Super

Bin absolut begeistert von den Fischnetzen. Habe mehrere, selber mit andersfarbigem Faden gekennzeichnet, um nicht plötzlich den vom WC in der Küche zu haben ;-) Egal ob Geschirr abwaschen oder Toilette reinigen, bekomme alles ohne grossen Kraftaufwand sauber und das Netz selber trocknet schnell. Kein müffelnder Schwamm mehr!

Perfekt zum Saubermachen

Dank dem Fischernetz keine stinkigen Schwämme oder Lappen mehr in der Küche. Es wird alles im Nu sauber. Ich find die Dinger grossartig und ein kleiner Beitrag für die Umwelt ist es auch noch.
