Sponges or Dishrags?

[Mickey]

Which do you use? I use sponges and I use a different one for counters than dishes. And I put them through the dishwasher every other day and frequently throw them away and replace them.

I use a dish cloth, dh has a special spray bottle full of bleach and water, we usually change out the dish cloth every day.

I use a dish cloth for most everything but if a dish needs to be scrubbed I use a sponge. Or I will keep the sponge for using with a disinfectant after cleaning with a cloth.

dish cloths for counters and dishes...we have a scrubby type sponge for cleaning the sink.

Dish cloths here. Use a new one daily, sometimes even two a day.

Neither. Nylon scrub brush for the dishes that don't go in the dishwasher, and paper towels for counters.

My mom uses dishrags and I just can't clean pots and pans with them. I've used nylon brushes, too, and they work well. Do the dishrag users only have non-stick pots and pans?

I use the non scratch sponges for my dishes, paper towels for the counter tops. I use a wash rag to scrub my kitchen floor. :) I just picked up some CLEAN & SHINE Dry Microfiber Cloths (Windex) the other night from Target and am anxious to try those. It say's they're streak/lint free, are durable and reuseable... so I hope I like them. :) There are 12 in a pack...

I have the Mr. Clean clothes and I love those....for cleaning just about all counters etc.

non scratch sponges with a mess on one side cloth on other for my dishes.Usually throw it in the dishwasher every so often.

I use dishrags and tons of them. A different one for everything and a new one everyday.

My cookware is not nonstick and I have never had a problem.

Yep!

Same for me. I just found microfiber ones and I LOVE how soft they are.

I keep one of those green scratchy pads to scrub with and a dishrag for normal use. I also keep a box of brillo pads for the "bottom of the pan" scrubbing!

I'm convinced that's the only way to really get the tile clean. That being said, I can't tell you the last time I actually did that! I used to have hunter green tile in my kitchen and dining area, and that would show everything. Here we have off white/grey faux marbly lookin' stuff, and amazingly it shows less dirt.
