Compostable Sisal Scrub to Clean Your Dishes and it's 100% Biodegradable!

This 100% biodegradable sisal scrub, the perfect eco-friendly solution for all your cleaning needs! Sisal, a natural fiber derived from the agave sisalana plant, is the star ingredient of this incredible product.

Why use a wire scrub that disintegrates after a while or a sponge containing micro plastics that end up in our ground water and starts smelling bad, when you can use a 100% environmentally-friendly alternative that is even compostable when its lifespan has ended.

This sisal scrub made of 100% biodegradable sisal cleans your pots and pans in the kitchen without scratching them. To dry, just place it on your windowsill in the sun or in the still warm oven.

When dirty, you can throw it in the wash together with your other washing.

What is Sisal?

Sisal is a versatile and sustainable fiber used for centuries due to its durability and strength. It is derived from the leaves of the agave sisalana plant, which grows abundantly in various regions worldwide. The highly resilient plant requires minimal water and pesticides to thrive, making sisal a sustainable choice.

Our sisal scrub is designed to provide a powerful yet gentle cleaning experience. The natural sisal fibers create a coarse texture that effectively removes dirt, grime, and stains from various surfaces. Whether you're scrubbing dishes, cleaning countertops, or tackling tough bathroom stains, our sisal scrub will rise to the challenge.

One of the standout features of our sisal scrub is its complete biodegradability. Unlike traditional synthetic scrubbers, which contribute to plastic waste and pollution, our sisal scrub is entirely natural and decomposes organically. This means you can confidently use it without worrying about harming the environment or adding to landfills.

Furthermore, the sisal scrub is designed to be long-lasting. The durable sisal fibers ensure the scrub maintains its effectiveness over time, allowing you to get the most out of each scrubber. And when it eventually wears out, you can rest assured that it will return to the earth harmlessly.

By choosing our 100% biodegradable sisal scrub, you are investing in a superior cleaning tool and making a positive impact on the planet. Embrace sustainability without compromising on quality. Try our sisal scrub today and experience the perfect balance of eco-consciousness and exceptional cleaning power.

FOUNDER: Nadja Ernst

Hi, I’m Nadja Ernst. Founder of Pure Touch, wife and mom of two children. Although my roots are German, I grew up in this beautiful country and am always still in awe of the nature around us and the beauty of the creation.

I have always been passionate about creating beautiful things, but have an even stronger passion for helping and supporting people in need. These two passions motivated me to start a second career as a social worker.

In September 2019, after reading an article about kitchen scrubs containing microplastics that eventually disintegrate and end up in our ocean, I decided to use my knitting and crocheting skills to make my own, eco-friendly and biodegradable kitchen scrubs and dish cloths. What started off in my home kitchen as a passion for environmentally friendly products and sustainable resources soon developed into a small business. The name pure touch was born and I started selling products in a small local shop.

The name pure touch was inspired by the purity of nature and of the one who created it plus the almost silky, soft feel of our products. The cedar tree in the logo symbolizes the natural, strong and long-lasting yarns we use and the vision we have for the women and their families of our community – a beacon of hope and resilience.

My two hands quickly needed more hands to knit and crochet. Being a social worker, I felt the need to provide women in our vulnerable community of Ocean View with the opportunity to earn an income and thereby support themselves and their families.

In February 2020, this dream became a reality when Marie Mueller, who was already working in Ocean View, joined me. What started off as a small business now became much more than just that: a social enterprise selling beautifully handmade, eco-friendly products but with the focus on building relationships and a community of women that support each other, learn new skills and generate income for themselves within a business structure.

To know that pure touch products not only support the production and use of more sustainable resources like hemp and organic cotton, but that their production and sale also support and make a differene to the lives of other moms and women facing difficult circumstances really excites me. An added bonus: our products are reusable, washable and naturally decompose – adding value and beauty to any home!

An so started the journey with the women in the community of Ocean View …

More about our community

Pure Touch enables women to support their families in a sustainable and life-giving way. We journey and partner with women of the Ocean View community, Cape Town.

Ocean View is located approximately 45 minutes outside Cape Town, close to the little village of Kommetjie on the hillside with a beautiful view of the ocean. It was formed in the late 1960’s during the Apartheid regime, when all colored people were forcefully removed from their homes in the ‘white communities’ of Simon’s Town, Fish Hoek, and Noordhoek to live in this settlement.

Today some 40’000 people live in Ocean View, many of whom face the challenges of unemployment, widespread drug and alcohol abuse, gang-related crime and violence as well as prostitution.
