Rock Island Wools are the natural sponge jewel of the Florida Gulf Coast. To sponge divers and merchants they're worth their weight in gold. This species is the most durable of all wool sponges and one of the premium sponges of the hemisphere. These sponges are naturally formed shapes, and are not cut to size. Formed sponges have a rounder more decorative looking shape, and are a little more expensive as compared to cut sponges because they are not as plentiful. The wool sponge is the uncontested champion in terms of performance. They can absorb many times their weight in water, yet are soft enough to easily squeeze and create billows of luxurious lather. Advantages of Natural Sea Sponges: - More durable, softer and longer lasting than synthetic sponges
- Soak up and hold more water without dripping
- Self-cleaning due to an intricate system of canals
- Wash out quickly and are less likely to retain odors
- Hypoallergenic - Ideal for both adults and children
Natural sea sponges are a renewable natural resource that are harvested from the ocean. Studies have confirmed that the regular harvest of natural sea sponges actually enhances the health and population of sponges. These sponges are processed immediately after they are harvested, hand cleaned and then bleached to a golden yellow. With care, they can last for years.
