sponge care

Sponges can be delicate so great care should be taken when cleaning and using them. If cared for properly, sponges can last up to 3 months or more.

Directions:

1. Use a natural chemical-free soap or soak for 5-10 minutes in a cup of warm water with one of the following:

  • 2-3 drops tea tree oil
  • 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 tbsp baking soda (helps restore volume and density)
  • 1 tsp hydrogen peroxide (helps eliminate discoloration)

2. Rinse sponge and squeeze out excess water

Do not boil your sponge! Boiling shrinks and toughens sea sponges. Do not use harsh soaps or chemicals! Do not soak your sponges longer than the recommended time as it could cause the sponge to deteriorate faster.

 

how often should sponges be cleaned?

Sea Pearls can be rinsed and reused multiple times and do not need to be sanitized after each use.  We recommend that you clean your sponge:

  • Prior to use for the first time
  • Once daily or every other day
  • If the sponge develops an unpleasant odor
  • Prior to storing

Sponges should be completely dry before storage!

 

how to trim a sponge

Once wet, sponges can be compressed and are extremely soft and pliable. If you feel your sponge is too large, it can easily be trimmed to a custom size.

  • Sponges are easiest to trim when dry but can also be carefully trimmed when wet
  • Do not cut the sponge in half as Sea Pearls are trimmed to a specific shape
  • With scissors, trim around the perimeter of the sponge, a little at a time until you reach the desired size. 

If the surface of your sponge starts to become ragged, do not rip or tear the sponge.  Instead, trim the loose pieces off with scissors until the surface is smooth.  This will extend the lifetime of your sponge.

 

about sea sponges

what are they?

Sea sponges are plant-like organisms that grow in colonies in the ocean.  They are the simplest multi-cellular creatures in the animal kingdom.

 

what makes them sustainable?

Sea sponges are a naturally renewable resource as they have the ability to regenerate from fragments left from the original sponge. When sponges are harvested, divers cut them so the base of the sponge remains intact. This ensures that the sponge has the ability to regenerate and regrow so it can be harvested again and again. Sea sponges also reproduce during the harvesting process by releasing millions of egg and sperm cells into the surrounding waters. Due to the filtration function of a sea sponge, sponge colonies are not able to thrive in polluted waters.

  

how are sea sponges harvested?  

Sponges are harvested by hand-cutting the sponge or by hooking. Cutting the sponge and leaving the base intact is the best and most commonly used method as it encourages a speedier regrowth. To prevent excessive harvesting in one sponge bed, all sponges harvested must have a minimum diameter of 5 inches. Sponge harvesting is also strictly prohibited in protected marine sanctuaries and coral reefs.

    A NOTE FROM JADE & PEARL

    Posted by Jade & Pearl on 3rd Feb 2016

    Posted by Jade & Pearl We very much appreciate all the wonderful reviews and comments that have been received! Unfortunately for the time being we have had to remove all reviews that contain any implications of how these sea sponges can be used, especially and particularly as "medical devices". While we would love to have an open forum for women to share their experiences, we are limited as to what we can publish. We hope you understand. Please feel free to continue to submit your comments as we love to read them and hope to one day be able to share them publicly once again. Thank you! Love, Jade & Pearl

    by far the most comfortable and efficient

    Posted by Unknown on 8th Oct 2015

    sea sponges are great, reusable and biodegradable, i like to buy the larger size and be able to customize the fit myself. Definitely worth investing in, with proper care you won't need another set for 6 months or so.
