"Kameko Tsukiko" has long been popular as a standard cleaning tool. Did you know that there is a kitchen sponge bearing the name "Kameko"?

"Kamenoko Sponge " will be on sale from 2015 by Kamenoko Fukko Nishio Shoten. It was commercialized after simply identifying the functions required of the sponge. "A product that was born to become the new" standard of sponge "", the company is proud of Kamenoko Sponge. I will introduce its features with the impression that I actually used it.

Features 1. Good drainage and foam

A turtle sponge made from "high quality polyurethane made in Japan" with a slightly coarse texture. The detergent foams well, and the foam breaks smoothly when rinsed. The impression is that it is rinsed properly and no detergent remains on the sponge, so you can finish washing comfortably. As the eyes are coarse, it has good breathability and is easy to dry.

Feature 2. Can be washed well

With a moderate thickness (2.7 cm) and hardness, it is perfect for washing the corners and edges of the container. Even if you press it strongly, you can scrape off the dirt firmly without sagging. Also suitable for washing large frying pans, pots, deep-bottomed water bottles and pitchers. Since no non-woven fabric is attached, it feels good and is easy to grip.

Feature 3. High antibacterial effect

It is also a nice point that silver ions with excellent antibacterial effect are used. Since it is kneaded into the entire sponge, it has an antibacterial effect up to the center. As mentioned above, it drains water and bubbles well, and it dries easily, which is a reassuring point to maintain cleanliness. You can continue to use it comfortably without worrying about "I wonder if this sponge is breeding germs ...".

The selling price at the official online shop is 330 yen (tax included) per piece. In addition to white, gray and yellow, there are also seasonal colors.

Also pay attention to the sister product "Kameko Sponge Do". It is explained that it was more particular about "easy-to-hold shape" and "durability" than the turtle child sponge.
