No more SOS pads (Change 97)

This past summer, I was invited to a Norwex party.  For those of you who do not know the company, it provides environmentally-friendly products for cleaning, body care, and home care. (www.norwex.com) I tried a few things with mixed results.  One item I purchased though, I love.

It is my stainless steel pot scrubber.  It works like an SOS pad, except without the built-in detergent.  I just use a little bit of dish soap (if necessary), and voila!  Clean pots and pans without a lot of effort.

Last week, I was cleaning out my crock pot.  DH had made a casserole in it, and there were bits of burnt yuck everywhere.  I couldn't get it clean.  I tried soap, water, a dish brush, and finally resorted to my last SOS pad, which had been sitting underneath my kitchen sink for months.  I scrubbed with it, to no avail.   Finally, I tried my little Norwex pot scrubber.  Although it didn't get everything clean the first time round, it made far more progress cleaning the pot than anything else.

I'm not going to buy SOS pads anymore.  They don't seem to help with the really tough jobs, and all of my little jobs are easily handled by my scrubber.  The scrubber seems to work well on the bigger jobs, too, although I may have to try scrubbing two or three times.
