At Inlet Soap Company, we are proud to offer natural sea sponges sourced locally from the historic sponge docks in Tarpon Springs, Florida—an area renowned for its rich tradition of sea sponge harvesting. By choosing a natural sea sponge from us, you’re not only investing in a premium bathing experience but also supporting sustainable, locally sourced products that honor the heritage of this iconic region. Pairing one of our locally sourced natural sea sponges with our natural sea salt soap creates the perfect coastal self-care experience and a refreshing clean that leaves your skin feeling smooth and invigorated.

Sea sponges are natural products, so their sizes can vary slightly due to their organic growth patterns. When labeled as 4.5" to 5", it means that individual sponges will generally fall within this range, though each one may differ slightly in shape and exact dimensions. This variation is typical of natural sea sponges and adds to their unique, one-of-a-kind quality.

Care Instructions:

1. Rinse Thoroughly: After each use, rinse the sponge thoroughly with clean, warm water to remove soap and debris.

2. Squeeze Gently: Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing or twisting to prevent damage.

3. Air Dry: Place the sponge in a well-ventilated area to air dry completely. Avoid leaving it in the shower to prevent mold growth.

4. Avoid Harsh Products: Do not use bleach, boiling water, or harsh chemicals, as these can degrade the sponge.
