20 Years of Kitchen Scrubs

01Silkmelon Flesh

Twenty years ago, when the living conditions of our southern homes were not as good as now, the most common kitchen washing tool was "loofah pith", which almost every family had in those days.

In fact, there has been a history of washing dishes with loofah pith since ancient China, because loofah pith itself is oleophilic, and as a natural plant fibre, it has countless tight breathable holes between sponges & scouring pads its threads and threads, which is highly absorbent of oil, so it is very effective in cleaning dishes and pots and pans.

Although it won't be bad after a long time, it will hide dirt and is not hygienic enough, so there are still limitations to use it, and it can only be used for brushing dishes. If you want to use it, it is recommended to replace it more frequently.

02 sorghum pot brush

Also as a natural plant fibre, sorghum pot brush is harder than the flesh of the melon, more used in the north in the past, especially in rural areas will be used to the earth stove and large pots and pans, not good enough to take out and clean, will be used to sorghum pot brush to do the cleaning.

However, the cleaning ability is still limited, not good cleaning is the biggest problem, and very easy to fall slag, see the picture is really full of sense of age ah ~!

03 wire ball

Later, the steel wire ball came out of nowhere, a time to quickly occupy the kitchen of every household in China, immediately become a necessity. Compared with the kitchen cleaning tools made of plant fibres, steel wool is more durable and easier to clean, mainly stain removal ability is very powerful, for the adhesion of stubborn stains treatment effect is excellent, the disadvantage is that it is very easy to hurt the hand, the use of gloves is recommended.

04Traditional rags

20 years ago, the rag is actually thesimplest cloth, or ordinary towel cloth, the material and the previous washcloth is almost the same.

Because the rag this thing, in fact, the main thing is to absorb water well, wipe water wipe clean on it, but the traditional rags face the biggest problem is that, eco washing up sponge with the dirty difficult to clean, and finally the more you use the more black, white cloth can be used as a "black cloth", coupled with the previous people are frugal, infrequent changes in the rags, the hygiene situation is a concern, with the old still "Slagging".

05 Cotton and yarn rags

Later, gauze cotton rags came out of nowhere, the outside is two layers of gauze, the middle is a layer of cotton, (there are also pure gauze, several layers). This yarn and cotton natural luffa rags have a stronger cleaning ability than traditional rags, relatively not easy to fall off the slag, and stained with oil and dirt cleaning is relatively more convenient, absorbent is also a little better, but it's just a little bit better, but still dominate the major supermarkets for many years.
