My mother has been getting crocheted scrubbies from friends in Korea whenever she visits and that’s primarily what she uses for washing dishes. And we hand wash all our dishes which means these little scrubbies get a lot of use, but they hold up super well too.

They crochet up quickly and make great little gifts. What’s great about them (versus a sponge) is when they start to get gross, you can throw them in the dishwasher or the laundry and they’ll come out clean and ready to go. My mom simply soaks them in hot water for a little bit to clean them.
