😱 Goodbye to dirty, smelly sponges 🧽❌! What Finnish women do instead will truly surprise you… 🇫🇮
You too probably think doing the dishes = sponge + suds + dish soap, right?
That’s what we all believe… until we discover what the Finns are doing.Over there, no one — absolutely no one — uses a sponge. Not in homes, not in hotels, not even in restaurants. And it’s not a trend: it’s about health, sustainability, and… good common sense.
👉 Discover the genius trick that’s a hit in Nordic households and might just change your daily routine.

Why? Because after just 48 hours of use, a sponge becomes a full-blown bacteria nest.
Even if you rinse it thoroughly, it becomes a cozy dorm for microbes. Some studies even found that sponges can be dirtier… than a toilet brush!
And that’s not all: sponges are nearly impossible to recycle and can take up to 500 years to decompose in nature. That’s some serious food for thought.
So, what do Finnish women use instead?
They use a special brush called an Astiaharja. This clever little tool changes everything. It’s clean, hygienic, easy to wash — and best of all, no direct contact with food scraps. Just a drop of dish gel on the plate, a quick scrub with the brush, and voilà — it’s spotless.
In Finnish homes, in restaurants, even in hotels: not a sponge in sight. Just this sturdy-handled brush, sometimes even connected to a soap dispenser and the tap. Press one button, the soap comes out; press another, water flows directly into the brush. Futuristic? Not really. Just practical, clean, and eco-friendly.
Many people who tried this method abroad say they never want to go back to sponges once they return home.
Try it once — you’ll see.
And you’ll never look at your old sponge the same way again…
