If you’ve ever picked up a Dishmatic refill and wondered why our sponge heads come in different colours – green, black, white, blue, or even pink – you’re not alone! While they might look like just a splash of colour, each one has a specific purpose to help you clean smarter, not harder.
Let’s break it down so you can pick the right sponge for every task – whether you’re tackling last night’s dinner dishes or giving your bathroom a shine.
We hope this helps make your cleaning routine a little easier (and a lot more hygienic).
Happy reading!
Why Do Sponge Colours Matter?
Great question! The colours aren’t just for show – they’re a simple but clever way to help you stay organised while cleaning. Here’s why they matter:
- Better Hygiene: Using different sponges heads for different tasks helps prevent the spread of bacteria. For example, you wouldn’t want to scrub your kitchen worktop with the same sponge you just used to clean greasy pans or raw meat residue. Colour-coding helps keep things safe and sanitary.
- Protects Your Surfaces: Each surface in your home has different needs – and using the wrong refill head can lead to scratches or damage. Delicate materials like glass or non-stick pans need a gentle touch, while tougher grime calls for a more heavy-duty approach. The colours help you match the sponge to the job.
How to Choose the right refill for the Job
Green – The All-Round Hero:
Green sponges are your go-to for general dishwashing. They have medium abrasiveness – just enough to scrub away grease and grime without being too harsh. Think of them as your everyday cleaning companion, great for plates, cutlery, and pots that aren’t too fussy.
Black – The Heavy-Duty Fighter
This is your powerhouse sponge, built for serious scrubbing. Black refill heads are highly abrasive, making them ideal for baked-on food, stubborn stains, and greasy pans. Use with caution though – they’re not suitable for delicate surfaces.
White/Blue – The Gentle Touch
These are non-abrasive refills designed for delicate tasks. Use them on glass, stainless steel, non-stick cookware, or bathroom surfaces. They clean effectively without scratching, so you can scrub with confidence. While in the UK the white version is the most common, in Australia the non scratch refill is usually blue!
Pink – The Clever One
Our pink “Flexi-Fibre” sponges are special – they change texture depending on water temperature! In warm water, they go soft for gentle cleaning. In cold water, they firm up for a tougher scrub. Their extra large spear heads allow you to clean all those tricky corners and hard to reach areas. Quite smart, isn’t it?
