The old one was looking kinda sad. I’ll keep it around for extra dirty cleaning jobs though.
I use a dish brush then I put it in the dishwasher every once in a while to clean it.
I cut the metal scourer in the kitchen in half today. It was looking very worn, but the side that had been held most often looked quite new. I cut off the old part and ‘fluffed’ it out a bit and it looked just like a brand new scourer. Fancifully, I pretended I’d discovered a hack in the matrix where I can now have an infinite scourer. Telling you this is bursting my bubble a little. But I might just go into the kitchen later and secretly pretend that that scourer makes me a little bit like Neo.
I’ve never actually used a scourer. Bar keepers friend for most small things and baking soda+boiling water for anything burnt on. The baking soda one felt like a secret glitch. Like…how the fuck had I never known this. Made life so easy after that…not that I burn many things…but still. We thought we absolutely ruined our enameled cast iron pot.
Baking soda works great for stubborn coffee cups too.
I’ve been really happy with the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Great for cleaning outdoor furniture, bathroom stuff, or tile. Anything where you want something SLIGHTLY abrasive.
