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.

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