Vileda Salvauñas Plus scouring sponge

Vileda is a globally recognized brand specializing in household cleaning tools. The brand originated in Germany in 1948, following the development of a window cleaning cloth that resembled leather. The name 'Vileda' is derived from the German phrase 'wie Leder', which translates to 'like leather'.

Today, Vileda is owned by Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions GmbH, a subsidiary of the Freudenberg Group, a diversified family-owned German technology group. While the brand is German in origin and ownership, its manufacturing operations are international. The products sold in the Spanish and Portuguese markets (as indicated by the 'Salvauñas/Salva-unhas' labeling) are produced in various locations across Europe to serve regional demand efficiently. The brand remains a leader in the mechanical cleaning industry, known for innovation in ergonomic design and material durability.
