OK, I got a hot tip from the kitchen sink. It's called the Power Puff and
is a cylinder shaped sponge on a handle. You can buy them at Walmart for
about $2.50. It's got a white handle, a yellow cylinder shaped sponge with
a blue scrubby thing on the flat top of the cylinder. Perfect for glasses
and rounded items like bowls, storage containers, etc.
This thing is MONSTER! It's the most important tool in my dishwasher job.
It's basically a sponge on a stick (handle), but it's the material/makeup of
the sponge itself that is amazing. It's a very open celled stiff foam type
sponge. The foam is strong enough to take on all but burnt on foods. Some
burnt-on if it's not too bad, then I go to a SS scrubby. It's perfect for
dried egg yolk and stuck-on melted cheese. Here's the clincher.... it's
impervious to chlorine bleach, so you can soak it in a diluted bleach mix
and kill all bacteria.
I used the first one till the sponge started turning on the handle. I have
no idea how old it was and someone tossed it. When I came in to work and
noticed it gone, I raised hell and demanded a new one. My boss said to go
over to Walmart and buy some more. Cool! Bought 4, 3 for work and 1 for
myself.
I don't like sponges, preferring brushes instead. This thing is the
exception, as it IS exceptional. Should have its own infomercial. Here is
their website and I notice they also make dobie-style sponges. I may try to
get some of these. The website is not working for me (seamonkey on linux)
but it may for you. Check it out.
