Excellent sponge, really glad to not be using plastic sponge’s anymore. Will definitely be using again!

Seep is fantastic! A cleaner (mind the pun!) choice for both you and the planet. They’re transforming an overcrowded category of single-use plastic sponges and cleaning products that are wasteful, unattractive, and quick to fall apart. Traditional plastic sponges can also shed microplastics, which may end up on your dishes and in your food. Seep’s sponges and cloths are sustainable, durable, and genuinely stylish (my personal fave is the leopard print!!). They prove that eco-friendly cleaning products don’t have to compromise on looks or performance. If you love products that make cleaning feel good and leave your kitchen sink looking straight out of Good Housekeeping, Seep is the brand for you.

I bought a box of 4 and they’ve all disintegrated within days. I’ve emailed them and they didn’t respond.

Great product!
I love using these for cleaning. Much better than the ones I had been using before which were full of microplastics.

I really wanted them to work but after just one week it started deteriorating and they are not cheap! I had to buy normal sponges again. Shame!

Reply from Seep
I bought a full 12 months worth of these scourers as I wanted to stop using the plastic ones. First impressions were they did the job. Yet after using them for just a week the sponge has started splitting from the scourer. So not great quality.

Have just placed second order and was amazed to see that the last order I placed was March 2024 not 2025 like I thought. Long lasting and effective. Wash really well

I bought the Eco sponge scourers and within a few days they split apart. The "glue" holding the 2 different pieces together is not strong enough. Sponge and scourer work well, but annoying that they are now 2 pieces and not 1 sponge.

Tried sponges and was impressed. Lasted a decent amount of time and no qualms replacing with another. However second one in part separated after only a few days. It's like it has a mouth! It's still usable but leaves me questioning if I will get a third. Food debris gets caught between the layers.

Pleasantly surprised at how well the scourer is lasting. I purchased a pack which had Several items. The plastic bags got damp and melted together so my fault but all the other items are excellent quality and I have found the sponge really flexible if the scourer doesn’t fit and I am happy with the longevity of the scourer which I didn’t expect to wear so well.

My experience with Seep washing up sponges has been disappointing. The sponges are vey stiff, and uncomfortable to hold and manipulate. Like other review-writers, I found that the sponge pad came loose from the scourer almost immediately. The sponge part is now, after just a few weeks’ use, flaking, with chunks coming off the sponge. I won’t be using the remaining sponges in the box, and will now experiment with a different brand.

I believe in the idea of this but this company are not ready to be charging £4 per sponge.
I saw an ad about sponges and microplastics recently and it really never clicked that sponges are probably made from plastic, and incredibly bad. So I immediately investigated and the next day headed to my local supermarket and found a Seep sponge, £4. A bit more than I'd be willing to pay for a sponge, but I thought I'd try it.
Very very disappointed from the get go. The scourer side is actually not great. Softens very very quickly. The cellulose side is pretty decent though and I found it actually cleaned better overall than the rougher side.
But, alas, I'd seek an alternative to this product...mine has completely fallen apart after less than 2 weeks. The two sides separated from each other after about 7 days and the sides have since both started tearing.
If you want to charge £4, you better make a good product.
Don't pretend to be part of the solution when all you are doing is capitalising on the problem with a rubbish product...that's not a solution.
Will not buy again.

Unfortunately although they clean the dishes well, 3 out of 4 sponges received separated from the scourer part after 1 or 2 uses. Very disappointed.

Reply from Seep
I like others wanted to like these sponges, I bought a pack of 4, the first one came apart at the stitching, the loofah on the second one i tried, got a large hole in it. I'm on the third and it seems to be holding together but, the loofah part once wet on any of them, isnt that good at scrubbing. I bought mine through Amazon and they refunded me. I wont buy them again.

I was very excited to purchase a box of 12 seep sponges for the first time. Sadly after 1 week the sponge began to separate from the back. Hence the one star. I haven't even washed it yet. I am hoping it was a one off!

I was keen to support this project after watching on tv. Sadly I’m very underwhelmed by them.I bought the sponge scourers and all purpose cloths. I wanted to buy the copper looking scourers too but they have buyout of stock since I first visited!!!
I agree with many others that the sponge scourers are very inflexible and washing cups et al is not an option. Also the 12 for 1 year is pure fantasy land, which makes the a bit overpriced. The all purpose cloths were really good, could almost use them as a flannel (now there’s an idea). I do think it’s crass the companies that purportedly want to grow and grow are repeatedly out of stock, it’s not good. I shall definitely get some more all purpose cloths and some copper scourers if the ever are in stock, but overall I was slightly underwhelmed.

I feel like Ive been made an absolute fool of. Seep is good name because your cash seeps through a hole in your bank account. Did you know your tiny particles on top of your sponges doesn't taste great with sauerkraut and I'm sure isn't eco friendly. And to add insult to injury they don't even wash my dishes properly, oh and for all you people who are struggling to wring things out with a strong grip. DON'T buy these. Because I can't wring them out well because of the hard stitching, they start to pong. Is there anything good about this product? 👎 NO.
As my friend told me, I apparently have been " GREEN WASHED" 🟩

We are totally delighted with our pads and sponges. Much better than we thought. Last well and thrilled that we are no longer having small amounts of plastic left on our crockery and cutlery. We were entitled to 10% cash back reward through True Potential and this was NOT honoured or received. Extremely disappointed that we bought from this company in good faith and once monies had been received, our incentive was not processed. We will be using an alternative company for our next purchase.

Apart from poor quality sponge scourers, I am dismayed that the company feel that trading with China aligns with their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) policy.
Trading with China is morally reprehensible and most certainly does not fit with Seep's stated aims. Many, many Chinese firms (BCorp certified or otherwise) have corrupt procurement streams, dreadful human and animal welfare rights and are more generally and regularly cited as spying on the UK or "digitally attacking" the UK infrastructure.
Lugging any products made in China the 4-5000 miles to reach the UK is far from environmentally friendly.
The facts about Cellulose: Cellulose products still have environmental impacts, but they are generally considered more sustainable than fossil fuel plastics due to being renewable, biodegradable, and capable of sequestering carbon, though concerns exist regarding deforestation, chemical processing (like in some regenerated fibers), and energy use in manufacturing, with impacts varying greatly by product and production method.
So Seep's partnering with On A Mission doesn't really detract from the huge energy required to make cellulose products or the fact that China's energy production is far from clean.
Read: China's energy eco-credentials present a paradox: it leads the world in renewable energy deployment (solar, wind) and green tech manufacturing, driving global solutions, yet remains the largest emitter due to massive coal use and growing demand, with its 2030 climate targets rated as "Insufficient" by the Climate Action Tracker, despite commitments to carbon neutrality by 2060. The country uses robust systems like Green Electricity Certificates (GECs) to track renewable use but faces scrutiny over its overall fossil fuel reliance and emissions trajectory.
