Am I picky about using a dish brush instead of cloth/sponge because of neurodivergence or because they’re fundamentally gross?
Hm. That’s food for thought.
Might not be ok for you but if I use soap and water and just bare hands it doesn’t trigger me. Because the soap makes it clean and I rinse it all off. But the sponge is dirty and I can’t wash it all off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh man, brush is the best.
First used them in a restaurant and it opened my eyes. We'd brush off what the sprayer couldn't get, then run dishes through the sanitizer (commercial dishwasher).
At the end of the night the brush was one of the last things to go through the dishwasher.
Now use one at home because it's so much better than sponges, and only use sponges for the abrasive portion for things the brush just won't get.
Does it matter, tho? I'm not saying this as a judgement about what is important to you or your way of thinking. I guess I'm just sharing that for me I've found it useful to let go of expectations of what is normal and just focus on what I could use to get to where I need to be.
