What are dish scrubs?

Dish scrubs are cleaning tools used in the kitchen to remove food particles, grease, and other types of dirt from dishes, pots, pans, and other cooking utensils. These scrubs usually come in the form of pads, brushes, or sponges, with a surface that is abrasive enough to scrub off the grime without damaging the dishes. Some dish scrubs are made of natural materials such as cellulose or loofah, while others are made from synthetic fibers or metal mesh. They can also vary in levels of abrasiveness to tackle different kinds of cleaning tasks, with gentler scrubs being suitable for delicate glassware and stronger, more abrasive scrubs being better for baked-on grime or cast-iron pans.

Dish scrubs are an important part of maintaining kitchen hygiene. After use, dish scrubs should be properly cleaned and dried to prevent the buildup of bacteria and to extend their usability.
