I received two different kinds of Estracell Sponges from Armaly Brands. Both have their own uses in the kitchen.

About The Company

Headquartered in Walled Lake, Mich., Armaly Brands (www.armalybrands.com) is the nation’s leading manufacturer and marketer of Estracell® and polyester-based sponges. Armaly has a long history of innovation in sponge technology, including the introduction of Armaly ProPlus® polyester sponges and Estracell® More Sanitary sponges in the 60s and America’s #1 selling driveway wash sponge AutoShow brand SoftGrip® in the 90’s. Founded in 1908 in the Bahamas as a worldwide producer of natural sponges, Armaly has been an innovation leader and maintained its reputation as one of the world’s leading manufacturers and marketers of consumer and commercial-grade sponge and cleaning products.

My Thoughts on Estracell

The first package was the Estracell No Scratch Scrub Sponge with Wedge Edge. The wedge edge makes it easier to get into hard to clean areas. I’ve used several sponges in the past without a wedge edge and it’s difficult to clean corners and crevices in the kitchen. The wedge edge made it easier to clean those areas. . The other side of the wedge edge is a sponge, which I’ve used to clean my dishes. Estracell Wedge Edge Sponges last longer than dollar store sponges. They are easy to wring out and dry quickly.

The second package I received was the Estracell sponge wipes. These are convenient to clean up those unexpected messes in the kitchen. I’ve used them to wipe up my countertops and stove. The sponge wipes are about a half inch thick, which makes wiping up spills a lot easier than using several paper towels and you’re helping the environment too. I like this idea as we use a lot of paper towels. It’s an easy way for me to reduce my use of paper towels. I’m going to purchase several more packages to use in the bathroom and more for the kitchen. Even though the sponges do cost more than your dollar store sponges they last longer, which saves you money in the end.
