I use the sponge at the kitchen sink. It's great! One side absorbs the water and the other side works well with remaining food stuffs left on the plate. However, I love all the products (cloths, towels etc). They are the best. Anndd, all the people I share the cloths with, love 'em too. I even gave some as christmas presents this year, especially to those who I've given to previously. It's lovely to see their eyes light up and a big smile across their face when they see what the gift it.
