Sustainable Wool Scrub - What to expect

Coarse wool is an ideal sponge alternative for many reasons. It repels odors and has antimicrobial & anti-fungal qualities, preventing it from getting smelly. Its moisture-wicking ability allows for quick drying. Wool is a durable, biodegradable natural fiber that outlasts synthetic fibers and does not contribute to the microplastic crisis. Most users report 6 months to a year per sponge.

Shedding

The scrub is made from pure, felted wool. During the initial break-in period, it’s completely normal for a small amount of wool fiber to shed. As the scrub is used, the fibers continue to felt together, and the scrub will naturally become smaller, denser, and firmer. Once this process finishes, the shedding stops.

Absorption of soap

Initially, you may notice that the scrub absorbs more of the soap than expected. As it finishes felting and starts holding soap more efficiently, the scrub will also become sudsier.

Shrinking

Since coarse wool is felted, it becomes even more scrubby with use. This means the sponge will condense in size over time to become denser and stronger working.
