Skoy Scrub, 1-Piece Reusable, Non-Scratching Dish Scrubber for Kitchen and Household Cleaning, Planet-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe Soft Scrub, Assorted Colors and Designs

I recently replaced my old non-stick cookware, with their often very unhealthy mystery coatings, with cast iron. I wanted to be sure to treat my new pans right, which meant finding the ideal thing to clean them with.I didn't want one of those chain-mail scrubby things, as those looked like something I just wouldn't enjoy using. Their reviews were mixed, as well. I tried one of those hard plastic scrapers recommended as sure-fire at dislodging the cooked-on layer in the bottom of cast iron skillets. But I didn't like using that at all. It scratched channels through the layer, or just took off the top of the layer, so the plastic scraper was tedious to use, and it took a long time to get the pans clean. And even then- the pans were't really clean. There just had to be a better way to get cast iron clean, and without taking off the layers of seasoning that had taken time to establish.I remember typing "cleaning cast iron" in the search bar here on Amazon, and these scrubbers showed up. I remember thinking "huh- those sure don't look like anything special." How could a flat little thing like that clean a cooked-on layer of stuff clinging to the bottom of a cast iron pan? I read the reviews from people who had used it on their cast iron, and the reports were good. These little guys are also super affordable. Why not?When the Skoy scrubbers arrived (I tried the two pack) they still didn't look like anything special. I did quite like their cheerful colors, and they appeared to be well constructed. I also liked that by purchasing them I was helping to support a small independent business. But they sure didn't look like they were going to be cleaning powerhouses.I made cheeseburgers that afternoon, which put a cooked on layer of cooked-on greasy residue in my 10 inch Lodge cast iron pan. I waited for the pan to cool, then put it into the sink. I put in a tiny squeeze of dishwashing liquid and added some very hot water. I picked up the Skoy pad, and started scrubbing.And- that cooked on stuff came right off of the bottom of the pan. Like, immediately. I was surprised at how quickly this little flat colorful furry plastic thing had banished the layer of crusty crud without me needing to scrub hard, or for very long. It was almost like magic, how fast the pan got clean.I rinsed out the skillet, and I couldn't clearly see the bottom because of the suds. "I bet this scrubber didn't get *everything* off of the pan," I mused cynically. After the next rinse, I could see that the bottom of the pan was indeed completely clean. No clinging, cooked-on meat residue; no lingering unseen, but could be felt, layers of grease. And while this little wonder pad had gotten the pan really clean, I discovered it had not removed the seasoning layer. I dried the pan, set it on the stove with the burner on high, put a few drops of canola oil into it, and wiped the oil vigorously around the pan's interior with a wadded up paper towel. As I went over the bottom of the skillet, I could feel that the little seasoning "boost" I was giving it was going over a still well-seasoned surface.Fantastic! When one little thing goes really well, it it just seems to make life better.I tried the other Skoy pad (I had designated one pad for dishes and pans, and one for cleaning other things) on some stubborn soap scum that had built up in the tub. I sprayed the scum with some Method all purpose cleaner, then wiped the Skoy pad across, then rinsed. Boom! Gone. Completely clean. And I didn't need to use any kind of abrasive cleanser, or attack the tub with the industrial scrub brush next to it. I also didn't practically throw my back out getting the tub nice and clean.I was so impressed by the performance of these amazing pads that I immediately sent a set of two to three friends. One friend used one of them on parts of her kitchen floor that she hadn't, no matter what she tried, been able to get clean. It was like her kitchen floor had "ring around the collar" as the areas she was trying to clean ran around the periphery of the room, right against the walls. She was so happy at the quick results she got from the Skoy pad, she called to thank me then and there. The other two friends own cast iron, and I knew as soon as they used the Skoys on their cookware they were going to use nothing else. They too were delighted by the results, and marveled at how the cleaning time had been reduced to almost nothing by these effective little pads.After discovering these scrubbers, I can't imagine ever using anything else. I'm going to make sure I always have back-ups- not that either pad is showing any sign of wearing out. No matter what I try them on, the Skoy pads always do a much better job than I think they are going to, and they clean better than any other sponge/pad/scrubber/brush that I've ever used. They save a lot of time too as you aren't needing to scrub and scrub, and you don't get worn out from exertions in an attempt to get something clean.I have a glass-topped stove and they clean that beautifully without scratching it at all. I'm never going to be without these little Skoy scrubbers. I only wish I had known about them years ago- think of all of the time that would have saved!Which reminds me- its time again to deep clean the refrigerator. I'm sure the Skoy pads will make short work of the sticky little puddles and layers of stuff that build up so fast in there, as well. I can't wait to try them out in there. And I never, ever thought I would be looking forward to cleaning out the refrigerator, lol.Do yourself a favor, and give them a try!

Where have these been all my long life? Never, never going back to anything that's bad for the planet.These are the BEST scrubber on the planet. I can't say how much I appreciate them in my *no paper towel*, *no plastic kitchen.Thank you Skoy!I had NO idea what these were. I thought they were just terry cloth. They are, but they are also SO MUCH MORE. They are better and stronger than any rough plastic "sponge" scrubber ever made. Strong enough for the toughest cast iron "mess" you can make (or any other mess!). No more shredded plastic sponge or worn out after a few uses scrubbing pad.

I’ve been using Skoy scrubber pads for over 5 years now, and I’m never going back to regular sponges. I originally got one as a Christmas gift, and as a tidy, minimalist mom who tries to live eco-consciously, I immediately ditched the soggy, smelly sponges I used to use.My first Skoy pad lasted about 8 months. They start off firm and break in over time, softening into something like a washcloth that still scrubs well but won’t scratch your dishes. I seriously love them.Whenever we have guests over, someone always asks where our sponge is—they’re a little weirded out by the Skoy pad at first, but honestly, it just takes a little getting used to. This is only the second pack I’ve bought in 5 years because they last that long. Highly recommend!

I never in my life thought that I would be excited about a dish scrubber, but I TOTALLY AM! These are the BEST! They never harbor any orders, clean like a breeze, and so gentle on my french pots and pans Thank you for adding the 8 pack of the grey!! Love them so much!

i love these so much. Been using them quite a few years now. they are so much better than sponges!!! i toss them in the washer. every year or so i purchase another set bc some get lost, and depending on the dishes, some dirtier quicker than i keep up with the laundry. its worth having a few! love these. recommend highly!!

I don’t know why I read, “scrub” and thought these could replace a regular dish sponge. I wash my dishes with the scrubbing side of a sponge but these are equivalent or better at scrubbing than a stainless steel scrub. They’re good at getting food off but are too harsh for plastic or silicone dinnerware. To reiterate, these can replace your stainless steel scrubs but not a regular dish sponge for gentle washing. I took off a star because these are impossible to wring out without shredding your hands so they remain moist and smell after two days which is inconvenient when you don’t have a dishwasher you can pop these in for a quick wash.

Now I understand why customers say it lasts so long. You can immediately see how strong the fabric is. The colors, design and patterns are just lovely. All 4 different. A little rough to the touch though. You might want to use gloves if you have sensitive skin.

I love these Skoy Dish Scrubbers! They have enough texture to scrub pans and conform to my hand when cleaning in small spaces like a mug or small jar. They dry quicker than a sponge, and I just let them hang on a wire sponge holder. Forever sold on using these instead of bulky sponges. They are made well too and will last a long time. (Plus they are really cute).
