A long-lasting kitchen sponge that can’t be cut and won’t collect bacteria.

Story

Never buy another sponge again!

Forever Sponge is the world’s first cut-resistant and antimicrobial kitchen sponge built to last forever!

Traditional kitchen sponges are disgusting. Even worse, they easily get cut while cleaning knives. Think about the way you clean your knives with a sponge. Sharp side out, slowly, and afterward left wondering if that knife is even clean.

Look at your sponge right now. Seriously, get up and go to your kitchen. I dare you to smell it!

It’s covered in salmonella, E. coli, and tonight’s host for the bacterial party.

It’s time to stop replacing your sponge 52 times per year. Get the sponge that lasts forever.

Forever Sponge is the upgrade your sponge has desperately needed for the last 100 years. Long gone are the days of shredding your sponge with the smallest knife in your drawer.

Forever sponge is:

1. Cut Resistant: Made from level 5 HPPE, Forever Sponge is crazy strong. It’s tough enough to withstand slices from even your sharpest knives.

2. Antimicrobial: With its unique blend of materials, Forever Sponge resists bacteria and germs, so it stays fresher for longer.

3. Eco-Friendly: Unlike traditional sponges that need to be constantly replaced, Forever Sponge is designed to be a more eco-friendly option. It’s built to last, reducing the amount of waste generated by disposable sponges.

4. Sud Retention Technology: Soap retention at its finest. The sponge’s unique composition and texture help it to effectively absorb and hold onto soapy water, allowing you to clean more dishes with less soap.

5. Heavy-Duty: Abrasive enough to remove baked on caramel, soft enough to avoid scratching your brand-new Gordon Ramsey cookware.

6. Heat Resistant: With a substantial melting point, Forever Sponge can handle boiling water and high heat from stovetop cookware without losing its shape or integrity.

7. Dishwasher Safe: Like everything else we do, Forever Sponge is also dishwasher safe. Just toss it in for that new sponge smell.

CUT-RESISTANT

Forever sponge uses a method called “rolling action.” It’s woven in such a way that allows the fabric to flex when it encounters a sharp object like a knife, making it extremely difficult to cut.

It features level 5 HPPE, which is used for many industrial-grade applications such as cut-resistant gloves, butcher gear, and firefighter equipment.

Forever Sponge is so tough not even world champion Alex Morales can cut through it with a samurai sword.

ANTIMICROBIAL

Forever sponge is made with three highly antimicrobial materials, making it a germ-fighting machine! It’s constructed using a blend of polyethylene, polyurethane, and spandex; all of which individually have antimicrobial properties.

Stop microwaving your germ-laden sponge to kill bacteria. Forever sponge does it on its own.

ECO-FRIENDLY

Forever Sponge lasts so long, your grandkids will be fighting over who inherits your sponge.

Its not only tough and long-lasting, but it’s also an eco-friendly option for your cleaning needs. Traditional sponges can easily accumulate bacteria and germs, leading to a shorter lifespan and more frequent replacements. This can lead to an unnecessary amount of waste and contribute to the growing environmental issues we face today.

By eliminating the need for constant replacements, you’ll be reducing your carbon footprint and helping to create a cleaner planet for future generations. With Forever Sponge, you can clean everything in your kitchen with peace of mind, knowing that you’re doing your part to help the environment.

SUD RETENTION TECHNOLOGY

Forever Sponge is designed with innovative “Sud Retention Technology” that allows it to retain more soap than your average kitchen sponge. With sud retention technology, you won’t need to constantly add more soap to your sponge, as the sponge will retain enough soap to keep cleaning for an extended period of time.

The sponge’s superior soap retention means it can effectively clean even the toughest grease and grime, making it a versatile tool in your kitchen. Enjoy a more efficient and effective cleaning experience, without the hassle of constantly replacing your sponge.

HEAVY-DUTY

Forever Sponge is abrasive when you need it to be. It can tackle even the crustiest built-up grime. Yet, it’s also soft enough not to scratch your fine china.

That means you can use it to clean everything from your stovetop to your delicate stemware without any worry of damage. Plus, its powerful cleaning ability means that you won’t have to spend hours scrubbing away at tough stains.

HEAT RESISTANT

With its high heat tolerance, Forever Sponge is the perfect tool for cleaning up after cooking. You can use it to scrub away grease and grime from pots and pans without worrying about it melting or losing its shape.

You can easily scrub away built-up grease and food debris without worrying about damaging the sponge. And because it’s made to last, you won’t have to constantly replace it like traditional sponges that can quickly fall apart with exposure to heat.

DISHWASHER SAFE

Forever Sponge is dishwasher-safe, so you can toss it in with your other dishes and let the machine do the work for you. And because it’s built to last, you won’t have to worry about it falling apart in the dishwasher or losing its effectiveness over time.

Even with repeated trips through the dishwasher, it will maintain its shape, texture, and cleaning power.

So, why Indiegogo?

We learned that this is by far the best platform to bring new product to life and give people the opportunity to help back this project at a discount. Grill Rescue sold on Indiegogo for less than half of it’s current retail price. The discounts on Indiegogo are no joke.

THE PROCESS:

Designing the world’s first cut-resistant sponge was very difficult. Wanting something better than what’s currently on the market is easy, creating it is hard. It took over a year to design and create the perfect version of Forever Sponge. Take a look below and get a 30-second view of the last year creating the perfect version of Forever Sponge.

We created Forever Sponge out of frustration of nasty kitchen sponges that just don’t last. We know most people are looking at their sponge in disappointment, hoping it’ll last just one more day. We wondered, “Why is this the only option? Why has nobody reinvented the kitchen sponge?” That’s when Forever Sponge was born.
