I have not bought a dish rag in years. Another great alternative scrub sponge I came across recently was actually made by the scott companym (I know skocker) they are great scrubbers and are made from the Agave plant.

I can't wait to try them. Does anyone know how to recycle old dish gloves that have holes? The thought of throwing them in the trash is depressing...

I bought it several months ago and it is still going strong. I don't use it every time, just for the tougher stuff...I also gave some as Christmas gifts last year! I will definately check out the Etsy site for the crochet ones! What a great idea. I love to support Etsy when I can. I also have some Skoy Coths that I bought some time ago and those are still going strong too. Thanks for the info!! I have a loofah one too that is an apple shape.

My knitting group had a yarn swap a couple of months ago. I took my latest UFO and went just to watch the fun. Much to my surprise I came home with an enormous bag of wonderful yarns because someone traded me for a huge stack of my dishcloths. I prefer to crochet my kitchen dishcloths---they are slightly heavier and the stitch patterns make for better scrubbing. For our face cloths/wash cloths I knit---much softer and smoother. The best part is they are a quick small portable project that I can take anywhere. Enjoy your dishcloths!! I LOVE my crocheted and knit dishcloths and washcloths.

I have made dozens of them (I knit) and given them away. If I want to learn a new stitch, I use cotton yarn and make a dishcloth- it won't matter if it's uneven or a little holey- it's just for scrubbing dirty dishes! They also make good washcloths for the bath. So, if anyone wants to learn how to knit or crochet, these are a super first (few) project(s). Or, ask any crafty friend to whip a couple up for you!

I'm curious as to what the conventional scrubbing sponges are made of anyway. I have some and the green scrubby part seems to flake off all the time. These look like they're great quality and I love that they are more earth friendly. Thanks! These look really great! I’m curious as to what the conventional scrubbing sponges are made of anyway.
