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.

#4 Upcycling

Abandoned, lost, or discarded fishing nets, known as ghost nets, can continue to trap and kill marine life for years after they have been discarded.

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.

By upcycling used fishing nets, we are proud to create an eco-friendly alternative to traditional kitchen sponges.

Mega Idee!

Einfach genial! Ganz ehrlich wer spühlt gern mit diesen Schwämmen?! Neben dem dass sie ein riesen Abfall produzieren sind sie auch schon nach 1-2 mal spülen müffelig und nicht mehr wirklich hygienisch! Die dann gleich weg zu werfen, würde aber noch mehr Abfall produzieren… Schon seit Jahren such ich nach einem Ersatz und hab dann irgendwann, aus Mangel an einer geeigneten Lösung, einfach auf den Schwamm verzichtet. Was aber auch nicht toll ist… mit dem Fischnetz bin ich bis jetzt total zufrieden! Danke für diese tolle Idee!

Funktioniert top

Fischernet ist wirklich eine gute Sache, funktioniert top. Zerkratzt dir die beschichtete Pfanne nicht, aber ist doch etwas besser darin Verschmutzungen weg zu bekommen als nur ein blosser Schwamm. Empfehlung 10/10

Tolle Idee und super gut im Gebrauch

Das Fischnetz ist doppelt genial, einerseits wegen dem Recycling der Fischnetze, die in den Ozeanen zum Problem werden. Und dann vor allem auch, weil ich nun endliche eine Lösung habe, um nicht mehr diese gelben Schwämmchen zu benutzen, die schon nach ein paar Wochen so unansehnlich sind, dass frau sie auswechseln müsste. Aber wer will denn schon im Jahr so viele Schwämmchen verbrauchen?
Was zusätzlich noch praktisch ist, dass das Netz zum Austrocknen luftig aufgehängt werden kann und danach wieder zusammengefaltet zum Gebrauchen.
Super Idee, ich werde grad nochmals bestellen, so dass ich es in meinem Bekanntenkreis verschenken kann!!

Cooler Ersatzschwamm

Bis jetz bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Fischnetz und hoffe jetzt, dass es wirklich so lange hält wie versprochen, aber es scheint auf jedenfall sehr robust und trocknet sehr schnell.
