Most dish sponges are made out of plastic, which by now you realize is a bad idea, given the facts that they release microfibers as they do their job and that they need to be replaced fairly frequently. Fortunately, there are many plastic-free alternatives, such as natural-fiber dishcloths that you can buy or make from old towels, commercial sponges made from cotton or cellulose, brushes, and even loofahs cut to a suitable size.
Check out these two sites that can help you find the right alternative for you: Earth911 and Sustainablylazy.com.
