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.

Is this a new product?

Unkomplizierte ökologische Abwaschhilfe

Die Idee vom Fischernetz als Ersatz für den Abwaschschwamm ist einfach genial! Die Handhabung ist sogar praktischer, es schäumt sehr viel und man braucht viel weniger Abwaschmittel! Ich bin begeistert! Der Versand war superschnell. Weiter so, ich hoffe, ihr habt noch viel Erfolg mit eurer Firma!

So macht Abwaschen wieder richtig Spass

Simpel und effizient. Das Fischnetz schäumt genau so gut, wenn nicht besser, als der Schwamm und ist in Nullkommanichts wieder trocken, was es viel hygienischer macht. Ist ab jetzt mein Go-to-Geschenk an Freunde und Bekannte.

Schnell daran gewöhnt!

Das Fischernetz war ein Spontankauf, wie ich es selten mache, und mein Bauchgefühl war richtig! Anfänglich fühlt es sich nur kurz etwas angewöhnt an, aber nach zwei Tassen abwaschen war ich voll happy: Es geht!
Ich habe das Netz halbiert und eine Hälfte verschenkt, zum Ausprobieren.
So wurde es für mich etwas handlicher und funktioniert tiptop.

Wiehnachtsgschenkli

Wir haben uns aus Neugier ein Fischnetz with benefits gekauft und sind voll zufrieden. Es ist etwas rauh und kratzt deshalb auch harte Verschmutzungen super weg. Zum Waschen legen wir unser Netz in die Spülmaschine. Jetzt haben wir ein neues bestellt als Weihnachtsgeschenk für einen Meer-Liebhaber :-)
