I Stopped Using a Sponge - Here's the $13 Dishwashing Gem I Use Instead

"Because we (devastatingly) don't have a dishwasher in our apartment, I spend a lot of time washing dishes by hand. A podcast or TV show helps to pass the time, but it's the tool I use to scrub pots, pans, and plates that can make the chore 10 times more bearable. I'm normally a dish-sponge person, but I may never go back now that I've tried the Brite by Scotch-Brite Fillable Dishwand. It makes washing dishes way easier!"

"The Brite Dishwand is your new dishwashing essential. It has a leakproof well in the handle that's designed to be filled with your preferred dish soap, and it dispenses the perfect amount at the press of a button. The scrubbing sponge at the end tackles stubborn, stuck-on food and oil without scratching, and the wand comes with its own drying rack for easy upright storage. Any residual water from the sponge drains down into the stand, sparing your countertop from the mess (and keeping your sponge from getting icky)."

"If you do have a dishwasher, you'll be pleased to learn that the entire product (stand, scrubber, and all!) is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. But don't worry if you're like me and don't have a dishwasher - the stand has a removable lid to make hand-washing painless, and the sponge rinses clean in no time (more on that later)."

The Brite by Scotch-Brite Fillable Dishwand features a leakproof soap reservoir inside its handle that dispenses controlled amounts of soap via a button. A non-scratching scrubbing sponge on the wand removes stubborn, stuck-on food and oil while the included drain-and-dry stand collects residual water to protect countertops and reduce sponge odor. The entire set is dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning, and the stand has a removable lid for convenient hand-washing. The wand’s long handle enables cleaning with minimal hand immersion in hot water, improving comfort and safety in kitchens without a dishwasher.
