  1. Well. Its been three years now. Time to test out the newish cellulose sponges/ cloths. They will definitely save every home a LOT of money because they'll no longer need any paper towels, etc.
    (I purchased WETTEX, big brand from Sweden & on Amazon. I purchased the variety 10- pack.
    Yellow, blue, pink, & green.
    I'm very pleased. NEVER use bleach or harmful chemicals. Always rinse in COLD water.)
    Looking forward to it.
    😃 👍

  2. I think coming up with a singular sponge is a mistake…the scrub daddy is just better than all at doing dishes in general…the worst pans do require more grit….so you should have something like that in your arsenal. But the scrub daddy doesn't stink within 5 days like most kitchen sponges tend to do. So, if you can only buy one, their recommendation is probably correct…but everyone should have a scrub daddy available.

  3. I'm 32 and have used many different dish sponges. I usually get generic scotch brite scrubber multipurpose and heavy duty sponges until… I found and fell in love with scrub daddy. However, the price is a bit excessive for a freakin sponge (apx $4 EACH). WE'RE IN A RECESSION dear scrub parents. I'll have to give those ridged ones a shot again but from what I recall they're very difficult to break

  4. Scrubbing daddy😝 I found some of sylicone at Home goods. They are the best. They don't ever hold smell, they last pretty long. Now, I cant find them anymore😢 (Ps. They were nothing like the silicone she showed).

  5. I have the winner sponge at home and I couldnt buy any other sponge tbh. It works sooo well and the food residue slides right off just by rinsing it. Stays clean, doesn't smell bad and has anti-bacterial properties. I highly recommend buying it!!
