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’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.
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.
