You might try bazaars and craft shows - we have a lady at work whose
mom and aunt make them (knit or crochet) out of a tough nylon cord,
and they're super - and in all different colors.

I just bought a twin of the Tuffy. They're made by BSI and are called
"Sparkling Scourers."

http://www.flowerfactory.com/p-43285...rers-asst.aspx

They're made in China but I really like the product. One thing made
me do an eyeball roll: it says on the front "Makes Cleaning Fun!" Hoo,
boy.

Replying to my own post =:-0

I forgot to mention, they're $2.49 for the pair.

No, they're plastic. They *look* like metal b/c they have sparklies in
the weave. I like 'em better than the old Tuffys, actually. They're
more dense, but still plenty flexible. My only complaint with either
of 'em is that they don't do corners well. They're a nice adjunct to
my ScotchBrite scrubber, though.

Have you tried the Chinese stores along Clement Street? I remember
they have steel and copper scrubbers -- they might have nylon ones as
well.

I have rolled the mesh socks that shallots, avocadoes, etc. come in,
into little balls useful for getting remnants of oatmeal or rice out
of pots.

I don't specifically remember the name "sparkles", but like I said
there were scrubbers that looked like copper and I ignored them
*because* they looked like metal. It's a bad marketing technique if
we're talking about the same product, but I'll certainly take a closer
look at them now. Thanks a million!

All the Chinese shops and dollar stores carry low quality generic type
scrubbers, but I'm looking for a specific, better quality, brand that
seems to only be available over the internet now. Thanks.

Andronico's has a good supply of Tuffy's (Tuffae?) but they are all
blue instead of orange. I haven't seen an orange one for sale
in awhile. Supposedly the only difference is the color.

They are literally the best and only thing I use on enameled cast
iron if a sponge is not good enough.

I think there's still one Andronico's in SF.

Thanks for the pointer, Steve! I'll give them a call and see if this
store carries it. I don't care what color it is as long as it's a
Tuffy.

Just wondering if you had tried them. If they were good enough, then
you wouldn't have to search for the elusive Tuffy.

Not all Chinese stores are created equal btw. Some are just Chinese-
accented dollar stores.

Yes, I've tried them and think they're horrible. That's why I'm
looking for the one I like. I've also tried those home made things
they sell at find raisers.

Thanks. I think I've been to enough variety of dollar stores and
sampled enough stores on Clement to know I don't like the generic
type.

I'm going to try Andronico's and see if they sell the Tuffy over here.
