IMU cellulose sponges are a versatile and eco-friendly product designed for consumers who value quality, naturalness, and sustainability.

User Experience: A Housewife Recommends Cellulose Sponges
“Without cellulose sponges, I feel like I’m without hands.”
When my family and I moved to Finland in the summer of 2019, I was really surprised that I couldn’t find such a household essential I was used to – regular cellulose sponges. What’s available are mostly foam sponges and thin cleaning cloths, but they just aren’t the same.
Cellulose sponges absorb moisture much better, making it easy to wipe tables, collect spills, and handle quick clean-ups. Ordinary dish sponges are often small and soft, and they don’t clean larger surfaces effectively. The cloths sold here tear easily and don’t withstand many washes.
For me, it’s also important that cellulose sponges are ecological. They are made from natural materials, are biodegradable, and fit perfectly with the values of sustainable development, which are highly appreciated in Finland. I was glad to realize that these favorite helpers of mine support both my own values and those of Finnish people.
Now I ask my friends to send me cellulose sponges from other countries, because honestly – once you’ve tried them, you don’t want to go back to old alternatives. I know many people from Germany, Norway, Poland, and the U.S. who use cellulose sponges in daily life and in professional settings as well. That’s why it’s surprising that they are still hardly seen here in Finland, where ecological innovations are usually adopted quickly.
I truly hope that Finns will soon discover these practical, durable, and eco-friendly household helpers.
