    HERE'S GOBUKA.

    Why for the sceptical people? Well, because people are fed up with brands that promise the earth without any evidence, for free. At GOBUKA, all our claims are either backed up by figures or verifiable through in-house tests.

    « THE IDEA WAS BORN THERE... »

    We didn’t set out to start a cleaning brand. We were just two siblings sharing a flat, sharing bills, and getting tired of replacing the same cheap sponge every two weeks.

    When I moved abroad to study and moved in with my brother, we realized we were spending way too much on sponges that had no intention of lasting. They’d smell by day five, fall apart by day ten, and end up back on the shopping list by day fourteen.

    We tried the "eco-friendly" alternatives. We bought four different natural brands, and we were disappointed four times. They still smelled, the layers separated, and our kitchen was not ready for unexpected parent visits. That’s when my brother said: "There’s a gap in the market here."

    So we built GOBUKA (from the Russian word Губка, meaning sponge). It all started in a flat with a kitchen that smelled like it had given up—and two siblings who hadn't. Why a russian word? Because the idea was born there.

    No misleading labels. No synthetic glue. Just durable, natural materials guaranteed to last—or we make it right.

    My brother prefers to stay behind the scenes, so I do the talking while he takes the credit. Fair enough.

    GOBUKA. Because your sponge shouldn't be the problem.

      I used to soak my sponges in bleach every week just to keep them usable. Haven't needed to once since switching. It dries in minutes and stays fresh. Worth every penny.

      I was sceptical but did the burn test as suggested on the website — it smells exactly like a plant, nothing synthetic at all. That alone won me over. The sponge itself cleans really well, even on greasy pans.

      I've tried so many 'eco' sponges that promised the world and fell apart within a week. This one is genuinely different. No smell after three weeks of daily use, and it hasn't shed a single piece. I've already recommended it to two friends.

      As a mum I'm very picky about what touches my children's dishes. I checked the composition, ran the burn test, and there's genuinely nothing in here I wouldn't want near their food. First sponge I've felt truly comfortable using on their bowls.

      Six weeks in and this sponge looks almost the same as the day it arrived. The structure is solid, no bits coming off, no smell. I've put it through the washing machine twice and it came out perfectly.

      Started with one pack, now the whole family uses them. Even my husband who was convinced nothing would work as well as a Scrub Daddy has stopped complaining. The sponge holder is a nice bonus too.
