I admit, I’m a neat and clean freak. I like everything in our home to be clean, organized and in its place. Unlike most people, I actually enjoy most household cleaning tasks. As someone in her late 50’s, it’s a daily routine that keeps me busy. To keep myself on track, I do stick to a regular cleaning routine.

Let me introduce you to my new favorite household cleaning scrubbing sponges! They’re made by a company called Pinguino. The Scrub Empress is a dual sided scrubber and sponge. These scrubbing sponges are fantastic! They’re safe to use on all non-stick pans and surfaces. Plus, they’re glass-friendly.

Here’s how they work:
If you use them in warm water the sponge will be softer and if if you use them in cold water the sponge will instantly become firmer.
There are times when I’m doing the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen when I just need a soft-sided sponge…then there are other times when I need a sponge with a more firm texture to get grime and stubborn food out of my pots and pans. By using the Scrub Empress, all I need is ONE SINGLE SPONGE…not multiples of different ones to complete the task!

Here are a few of the Scrub Empress features that I absolutely LOVE!
* I can clean them by placing them in my dishwasher.
* They’re a really nice size (a little over-sized) but fit very comfortable in your hand.
* Resist stains and foul odors.
* Glass Friendly. I can use them when washing glass bakeware, dinnerware, drinkware, etc.
* Hold a nice lather when you add your liquid dishwashing soap to them.
The Scrub Empress is perfect for your every day dishwashing and cleaning needs and an absolute necessity when doing deep cleaning chores in your home. Why the smiley face you might ask? Well, I’m going to tell you!

You can use the “eyes” to clean the handles on utensils, stainless steel reusable straws, kabob sticks, chopsticks, end of a meat thermometer, etc. You can use the “smile” to get food particles off your utensils….like a spoon or butter knife! Just slide the item in and out of the hole to get them clean!
Besides using them to wash dishes, pots and pans…I like using the Sponge Empress to clean my glass mason jars. I’m a home canner and it’s hard to find sponges that fit down inside a jar to get it nice and clean. These work perfectly for that task too!
