Scrub daddy owns scrub mommy. Clearly they need scrub feminism, so she can be her own scrub woman

[–] Blum0108@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Scrub Mommy is twice as useful around the house as Scrub Daddy, so it tracks with real life.

So they aren't just colored sponges? Never used one of their products.

Protip: Don't get the scrub daddy, the O-Cedar Scrunge is the highest rated sponge by virtually every chef and test kitchen for a reason, it's non-scratching but has one of the best scourers ever and will clean stuff up like magic compared to some inferior brands.

If you're an Australian like me, you can get the Vileda Pur Active which is seemingly identical (I wouldn't be surprised if it's the same company).

Pro-er tip: Get cellulose/bio-degradable sponges so your used sponge trash won't hang around the landfill for the next thousand years.

Get a dish brush so that they don't need to be replaced at all! The ikea ones are really nice and have a built-in plastic scraper. Haven't used a sponge in the last decade.

I have a wood and horse hair bottle brush which works really well. I get a lot of torque because it doesn't flop about but the wood that makes up the scrubby bit is starting to rot. Who would've thought wet wood would rot? Crazy.

Hell yeah, I can get behind this. I can't comment on the O-Cedar as I can't get them here and information online is sparse, but the equivalent I get in Australia is made from cellulose and is biodegradable, ~~apparently~~ sadly not including the scourer (after some digging it's coated in polyurethane).

There's a store in my city called The Green Store that sells bio degradable kitchen stuff, and I accidentally found out they have an Australian website too:

https://thegreenstore.com.au/

I can't see them online, but I usually get sponges that have loofah fibres attached to the sponge which I assume is cellulose. They also have coconut fibre in place of the loofah.

Legend!

I disagree with her testing methods and also, I'm not (nor are most people?) Using one sponge to clean my counters and then using that same one to wash my dishes.

heavy duty, yet another gender

[–] agegamon@beehaw.org 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

And a heavy duty three pack nonetheless! I didn't realize packing factored into so many genders. Learn something new every day!

[–] verdare@beehaw.org 21 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, yes. The three genders: Scrub Daddy, Scrub Mommy, and Scotch-Brite™.

I prefer the knock off version, scour MILF
