Thank you. I love these. Biggest ones I use in the bath to get that back scratched, smaller ones I use to clean everything, dishes, the car, you can cut them in slices and fuse them with soaps you've made and gift them. They last for years too! Just soak them in alittle bleach water and they're back to New. Happy gardening everyone!! Thanks for looking!!

I had no idea that these things came from a plant. Learn something new everyday.
