'Zactly. I hestated to mention it bcasue of so many claims but even a
mild bleach solution will very rapidly disintergrate cellulose
sponges... I think all the bleach boosters are fulla it.

'Zactly.

Dobies are nylon, they don't harbor schmutz and can be sanitized in
the dishwasher or clothes washer. Dobies only seem pricy but they
last a very long time, I get about a year from one... and when they
become worn they go into the car cleaning bucket, great for removing
bugs, road tar, and brake pad schmutz from wheels without harming
finishes. I don't like most Scotch-Brite products because they are so
abrasive but Dobies don't dull finishes, in fact they can't no matter
how hard you scrub.
