I flip every grimy frown right side up and leave your pans beaming as bright as me.
Because doing the dishes should not feel like a punishment. Buttery yellow, permanently pleased with itself.

Yes, it costs more than a sponge
A three-pack of supermarket sponges is about $3 and lasts you a month. Here's what the difference actually buys.
| Feature | frubbies | Standard sponge |
|---|---|---|
| How long it lasts | 2–3 months | 2–4 weeks |
| Machine washable | Yes, wash warm with the towels | No, it falls apart |
| Gets smelly | No filling to trap water, so it dries from every side | Wet foam core by week two, reliably |
| Safe on nonstick | Non-scratch on coatings and glass | The green side isn't |
| Shapes to choose from | Six, and people collect them | Yellow. Or green. |
| Where you keep it | On the counter, on purpose | Hidden under the sink |
Roughly $4 a month, or about what you'd pay for one nice coffee.
Everything you're wondering
Will it scratch my nonstick pans?
No. Frubbies are made from a loop-texture scrubbing yarn that's non-scratch on nonstick coatings, glass and glazed ceramic. We don't recommend them for burnt-on cast iron, that's a job for steel.
How long does one last?
About two to three months of daily dishwashing. Rinse it out after use and let it dry, and it'll go the distance. Machine wash it warm every couple of weeks to keep it fresh.
What's it made of?
80% polyester, 20% nylon, crocheted all the way through, no filling, no foam core. The yarn has a fine metallic thread woven through it, which is where the shimmer comes from. Made in China.
No foam core also means nothing inside to hold water, so a frubbie dries from every side, which is why it doesn't develop that sponge smell.
How fast do you ship?
Orders leave our US warehouse within 1–2 business days. Standard shipping lands in 3–5 days, and it's free on orders over $25.
Do you ship to California?
Not yet, but we're working on it. Everywhere else in the US, yes. Email hello@frubbies.com and we'll tell you the moment we do.
What if I don't love it?
Send it back within 30 days for a full refund. Used, unused, doesn't matter.
I like things tidy, answers included. If yours is missing, just ask.
