What dish sponges do you use? (lemmy.world)

It is more efficient to buy cheap supermarket sponges and replace them more often, or do you find that more expensive options are worth the additional cost?

I use cotton dish cloths, and a brush

idk but I have also heard of some variant of these "unsponges": https://www.arosetintedworld.co.uk/how-to-make-unsponges-zero-waste-dish-scrubbers/

I used to use the green and yellow scotch-Brite but I've been sucked into the scrub daddy paradigm. They really are good scrub/sponges and last forever.

So many people seem to like scrub daddy but they're only available online where I live. They claim that these don't scratch but could I also clean for example the clear plastic water container from our coffee maker without scratching it?

+1 for scrub daddy. Best thing is you can put it in dishwasher when it gets dirty.

+2 for scrub daddy and putting them in the dishwasher. I’ve been using the same one for 6 months and still going strong.

Crochet + yarn does it for me. I make little 3x6" shapes with a small needle.

For scrubbies I use on of the dollar store plastic abrasive pads.
