With a long stick attached so you don't need to touch it
I bought a few "Jetz Scrubz Scrubber Sponges". They're synthetic but suds up and work as well as real sponges. I've been swapping back and forth between two of them for 6 months and they still look feel and smell great. Most of my dishes get the dishwasher but non dw safe stuff or things that need scrubbed clean first get these used on them and then I throw it in the dishwasher as well. I use two so I still have one if the other is in the dishwasher.
5/5 sponge experience. Would recommend.
Oh I see
Use a[ny] foaming soap dispenser, and get suds even if your sponge/cloth doesn’t sud - I think that was the rationale.
Your all-caps product rec intrigues me!

I just think about the fact that I'm throwing away something I paid for and that used up resources. Doesn't make me feel that good honestly ^^
Tbh we wash them and use them for really dirty stuff. Like when you need to remove mold with a chlorine spray or poop from your shoes. Then they get tossed because there's no way I am washing that again.
We're phasing out single use sponges though, but now I don't know what to use for the really dirty stuff.
Yeah like scrubbing the bathtub, cleaning spills, carpets, that kind of stuff.
Is there a sensible alternative to single use sponges? If so, would you point one out for me? Obviously I would be interested.
We use a combination of brushes with wooden heads (I don't like stuff with handles though), structured cotton towels from the drug store, and sponges from Ikea called "Pepprig" which I think work best for most things. They are also plastic but you can wash them easily.

Yeah, except I'm 20 :/
Fuck sponges. I get a dopamine rush replacing my brush.
My brush has lasted a decade and is still going strong. I hate how gross sponges get
I get a dopamine rush fucking sponges.
Great mood? Nah
Better mood? Yeah
Meme fits, cause I'm 25.
Well, better mood, yeah 👍.
I get really excited about getting new socks, I think that makes me middle aged.
No joke at a company outing someone pointed out my socks were Darn Tough brand and he lifted up his pants to show his. Then my boss too, and we all talked about socks and lifetime warranties for 5 minutes and holy fuck I'm old. Or at least no longer young.

It doesn't feel good until after a couple washes
That's what she said
Warm new sponges get me so wet but not in a weird way I just fuck em
I guess I was over 30 when I was 25
I was always told I was an old soul
Don't use sponges. They have tiny holes, where bacteria live.
Use brushes instead.
So, what you're saying is, bacteria can't get stuck in brushes... I say that's not true. Bacteria can live in almost anything.
Yeah, that's correct. Still, brushes dry much faster than sponges. So the bacteria have less time to grow.
Oh... OK, now that makes sense.

I HAVE SHOWN RESPONSIBILITY.
I feel so good that I high five myself and dance the floss dance for ten minutes. Am definitely over 30.
From the thumbnail it looked like moldy toast. I was a bit disturbed.
I've caught myself being excited about buying a ladder once. I'm officially old.
Bro my happy time place now is hardware stores. Similarly would you believe Lowe's and home Depot around me both don't carry garage door track sections? Baffling.
