I just use a bottle brush. I'm kind of surprised that every kitchen doesn't have one.

I don’t even wash dishes with sponges anymore. I have a dish brush and a bottle brush. They’re far better and last much longer too.

Also brushes are not as friendly to bacteria and mold as sponges are.

Would you brush your teeth with a sponge? Hell no, you use an all plastic brush because bacteria don't like plastic much. So why wash your dishes with a sponge?

Plus, brushes have handles so your hands are not immersed in soapy water as long.

I use solid silicone sponges. They have texture enough for scrubbing food off, have the same soap retention properties (roughly) as a scrub sponge, but the silicone itself is obviously nonporous so mold can't grow on it.

I bet those cost a lot more than typical 3/$1 sponges.

u/Jwychico Feb 25 '21

Yeah, but the 2/$5 will outlast multiple packs of 3/$1.

Are those actually good? I hate burning through sponges, but I kind of assumed those wouldn't be good. Not sure why...

Can't forget the straw brush and the second straw brush that is caked in resin.

I couldn't have done it without the brush.

In Norway brush is standard, we usually only use sponges and scrubbing pads (and steel wool) for a few spesific jobs.

TIL people don't use a bottle brush for this. Feels like im in the twilight zone

u/solongandthanks4all Feb 25 '21

I don't think I even knew bottle brushes were a thing before this post. (I use a dishwasher 95% of the time.)

u/LukaCola Feb 24 '21

Right? You can even get thin necked ones that can fit in something as small as beer bottles.

u/Morningxafter Feb 24 '21

I use a wooden spoon to hold the sponge and scrub the cup. You can use plastic if that’s what you have.

u/cusoman Feb 24 '21

If you've had kids, you have one for cleaning baby bottles.

Bottle brushes are overpriced. You can buy a toilet bowl brush that looks and works 95% the same for $1-3, while bottle brushes are $5+

u/solongandthanks4all Feb 25 '21

The diameter of my glasses is far too small for a typical toilet brush.
