what do you wash dishes with?

what a good idea, do you make them yourself?

Waffle weave dishcloths. I like them better than crochet or towel-like dishcloths. (I prefer the crocheted ones because they are much prettier - but the waffle weave does a better job for me.)

I found some at a thrift store and now if they get too gross, I turn them into rags and make new ones out of a cut-up waffle weave dishtowel. They are about the same size as an infant washcloth. In fact, I bet those would work, too.

I really prefer a dishcloth (not too big), but DH insists on using sponges and he does most of the dishes. I throw the sponge in the washing machine every few days. Wash and dry on hot and it's not so icky anymore.

I started out using dish clothes when I first set up home. Then I switched to sponges. Now I will probably go back to dishclothes as I am trying to cut as much disposable (and as much money spent) out of our lives as possible.

I use dishcloths. To scrub, I use the netting that the oranges come in. I just ball it up and it works great.

You can also use a large crochet hook to make a big scrubby pad out of them.

just jumping in here with a vote for the crochet cotton knit ones, my mom made me a bunch and I love them. We also have sponges because dh prefers them. And a plastic scrubby pad thing.

Dish Clothes.

In Canada, there are these dishclothes called J-Clothes. They are reuseable, for quite awhile. You get a roll of them, 50 or so, for 3 dollars. I always thought this was standard, until I moved down to the states and couldnt find them!!!

I tried sponges but didnt like it. I found some dish clothes to use, but not the same as J-clothes!

Dishcloths--the kind available in a pack of 10 or 12 for a few dollars. I have a whole lot of them and use a clean one each time I wash dishes, then hang it up to have handy for wiping the counter.

DH uses sponges and I use cloths. For scrubbing we have a scrub brush. The sponge and brush are put in the machine when it is run. I've also tossed the sponge into the laundry and it works well.

Has anyone tried those miracle cloths? I've heard from a few people that they were just awesome but I still don't know much about them.
