It makes me depressed thinking about more plastic waste fungi are not likely to digest anytime soon due to all the antimicrobal additives that prevent kitchen soap from molding and, well, the sponge material chosen to slow down decomposition while it is in use. It also shreds into microplastics really easily.
I use loofahs for doing dishes. Anything it struggles with just needs another bathing in hot water with bicarb
Nice life pro tip! Thanks.
I've got some growing out back after my third year trying! I wanted the sponges but my wife is bugging me to chop them down to eat. "You people EAT those?!"
You can also get small dish brushes like these:
They're better at scrubbing stuff, and for the rest, you can use a normal washing cloth.
Oh I need one of those
Auf Deutsch heißen sie oft "Topfbürste". Nur dann nicht beim Handwerksbedarf bedienen... 🫠
Don't understand how the same people that condemn sponges as unsanitary use a brush. Use a launderable cloth that can be regularly sterilized for crying out loud!
Pretty sure, I'm not the same people that condemned sponges as unsanitary...
I do think brushes are more sanitary (on average probably even more so than a launderable cloth), but hygiene isn't my problem with sponges.
gunk absolutely collects, even after thorough washing, at the base of the bristles. you cant keep using the same brush forever. The only thing id say is close to good for hygeine are any full metal scrubber
but not wire brushes which are a huge source of serious injuries when the fragments of bristles get swallowed.
You also have these with a soap reservoirs built in, you release soap by pressing a button on top of the handle. They're amazing!
but the bristles on those are almost always plastic too, even more inert and probably heavier than sponge of equivalent efficiency.
You do have to look for ones made out of wood/bamboo and plant fibers, yeah. Wasn't too hard for me, but mileage probably varies, depending on where one lives.
