  1. I grew up using those to scrub in the shower... I'm so used to them that nothing else has the right texture, there are no replacements for it. They really last far longer than regular sponges, they dry faster, and if you store them the right way (a simple hook in a well ventilated area will do), they also don't get smelly, moldy or slimy. In fact, there is a curious thing about them that points out the time to replace... they start getting a bit darker, the fibers. Or when they become too flimsy, poking holes through. I also like how they are firmer than regular sponges... it kinda feels like you are cleaning yourself harder. xD It's a bit addictive. It's not even about environmentalism, it's all purely selfish reasons just because I like them over anything else. xD But I'm super happy to see it's a more environmentally friendly alternative, that it has a huge potential market to replace plastic crap, and that it's being promoted here. Never thought about using them for dishes though, will try it.
