sponge

A sponge is a cleaning tool that absorbs water well. It is often used for cleaning kitchens and bathrooms.

Thanks to the popular cartoon character SpongeBob SquarePants, sponges are familiar to children around the world. The yellow sponge character lives underwater and has fun adventures.

Sponges were originally marine animals found in nature, but nowadays most are artificially made. Thanks to their porous structure, they have excellent water absorption, and their cleaning effectiveness is enhanced when used with detergent.

With growing interest in environmental protection, the demand for eco-friendly sponges is increasing. Sponges made from natural cellulose or plant-based materials are gaining popularity, and it is recommended to replace them regularly to prevent microbial growth.
