And yet another idea to help me get rid of the ICK factor in my kitchen. Although, I am not sure if I would have had the willpower and sheer strength to keep the netting and reuse it. My ICK-Radar would have forced me to throw it out. Sigh…

Thank goodness I came up with this idea way back when I actually bought produce in those bags. I haven’t had the opportunity to “replace” my scrubby in a long time because I rarely shop in a grocery store anymore!

So this weekend, my husband bought oranges in a plastic netting bag. Naturally he got yelled at So I tried to make lemonade from the lemon (cut the bag into scrubbers), and he did not believe me! I had to demonstrate its power before he begrudgingly agreed. Funny many of us (including me) have been brain washed to believe that only store-bought tools, preferably with nice package and step by step instruction, work effectively.

Or….use butter or oil and keep the egg moving while it’s cooking and you won’t have to spend any time cleaning the pot at all. But that’s just a hubby who spent 10 years washing dishes manually speaking….

Yup! I’ve been doing this for months having gotten the idea first from Chile. It works great!

It was Chile at Chile Chews who suggested the mesh bag. I haven’t tried it yet but thank God you have. I too have the pop up cellulose sponges (got mine at TJs) and I invested in a loofa to use for the scrubbing. It sucked and, stinky and icky, found a new home in the trash last week. I had debated what to do, having forgotted about the mesh bags. Now I’ll get mine out. Thanks!
