I have never liked foam sponges for washing dishes. I have oscomom from them, as soon as I take them in my hands, “goosebumps” appear on the skin.
These sponges absorb water, stay wet for a long time and do not dry out, because you wash the dishes several times a day. Almost immediately, after the start of use, they lose their appearance and become shabby and flattened.
I mostly wash dishes with terry cloths. Or I take disposable ones that are sold in rolls.
For more stubborn dirt, a metal sponge is suitable.
Recently I remembered how my mother washed dishes with tulle rags. She folded several layers into a small square and stitched them with threads. And instead of a scraper, there was a bent square of a mosquito net, in those days it was metal, there were no plastic ones.
How to do:
1) I took a small piece of old nylon tulle, which is in a small square, and cut out a strip of 15 x 80 cm.
2) I collected it with my hands into an accordion.
3) I prepared a small piece of elastic and tied it into a knot.
4) I made a loop and tightened the tulle. It turned out to be a small flower.
By the way, you can make a washcloth for the body just like that.
5) The new sponge perfectly washes dishes, easily washes off adhering dirt. Mugs with a tea coating launders with a bang.
Adhering points of fat on the tile also wipes off without difficulty and acts as an abrasive. It's the same on cabinets, especially where the handles are. A little rubbed - and washed off all the dirt.
A special advantage of such sponges is that the water drains quickly and they dry. You just need to hang it on the crane.
The more you use it, the whiter it becomes.
Despite the fact that foam rubber sponges are cheap, as they say, a penny saves a ruble. And there is no need to spend money, everything is free. One curtain will last a long time.
Together with the preparation, it took me 5 minutes to do this, believe me, this is a great savings for the family budget!
All the best!
