Girlawhirl flat out feels guilty over the amount of paper towels she uses. But she can't bring herself to rely solely on sponges. Just the thought of using a dirty sponge to sanitize her kitchen feels counterintuitive. Considering the kitchen sponge is the number one center of germs in the entire house according to WebMD, Girlawhirl can barely bring herself to use one twice. So discovering the TWIST family of products solved Girlawhirl's washing woes on so many levels.

The European Sponge Cloth basically kills the need for Girlawhirl to ever have to reach for a disposable towel again. Just one of these eco-friendly towels equals 17 rolls of its paper counterpart! And it's durable enough to tackle even the biggest spills. But Girlawhirl thinks the coolest thing about these biodegradable mess-eliminators is the fact they are dishwasher safe! She can just toss the dirty sponge cloth in each time she runs the dishwasher and it comes out like a new, and germ free, towel ready to take on more of whatever her kitchen throws its way.

When she needs something with a little more scrubbing power than the average sponge cloth, Girlawhirl grabs the Loofah Sponge. This absorbent, biodegradable, sponge packs some extra punch with its natural loofah side. They are great for getting down and dirty to remove hard to clean stains and dried on spills, and safer for scratch-prone pans than traditional harsh scrubbing sponges.

There are more great products to take care of her home too, like the bamboo fabric dusting cloth and the “naked” all natural daily sponge.

TWIST is so committed to living green, the company even recycles its own waste for future production and gives instructions on how to turn the packaging into bird feeders. Great products and green practices have definitely put a new TWIST on Girlawhirl's kitchen.
