This is seriously the best dish scrubber I have ever used, I love cooking with cast iron cookware, and these things are the bees knees. It works like a steel wool scrub pad, but doesn't fall apart, I've used mine now for almost 6 months and it doesn't even get dingy and smelly. A little Dish soap and hot water, you scrub it on itself when you're done, and the next time you go to use it, its basically brand new. Solid product, LOVE IT.
