I am using mine to clean my tub and spa jet thingys.
I used it to rub my heels while in the bath.
I used it to clean bird poop off the car windows.
I used it to clean the racks in my oven.
I even used it on my THERMOTHINGY.

Thanks Gert and didn't you wipe your racks in the oven? Or was that someone else?

Forgot that one. Thanks Yvette.

I love the Thermothingys....... ;)
which ever thermo thing it is... ;D
-
Um... my scrubbie isn't even out of the packet yet :o
-
Come on Amy get cleaning ;)
-
Gert i hoped you washed it between soughing dead skin off your feet and washing the TMX :o
-
I have discovered I will need more than one. But MJ is helping out with that small problem.
Do you think we can wash them?
-
I was wondering that too Cookie. When mine gets dirty I will put in a lingerie bag and try it.
-

When washing in the washing machine I put mine inside a sock so it did not get stuck to anything.
Gert
-
That's why we need more than one girls. One for each specific use I say.
-
I have 5 thanks Mich
-
I can't wait for mine to arrive :)

Try putting your scrubbies in the dishwasher(making sure they are secure ;)) to wash.I always put my kitchen brushes and scouring pads in when my dishes are on a wash cycle.
-
I would never have thought that CC, good idea.
-
Cleaned the shower, all glass, really sparkling now - see kelliejen I do work
-
Sue forget the Jen part.
How can you in all honesty say you did this, I did it and you haven't even noticed.
-
Maybe we need a topic for the biggest fibber of the day ???
-
Well I had a shower first and then cleaned it.
-
Why oh why did I ever take Jen to Grace Town :) :) :) :) :)
-
Have just lent across desk and flicked Suejen around with a scrubbie, very useful
-
ouch that hurt :o :o :o :o :o
-
This has nothing to do with scrubbies, but suejen I did tell you I could happily stay home - but boy I am glad I didn't, found it all very interesting.
-
Yes, I will think I need the bulk pack. I am hanging out more for the bigger scrubbies. I hate cleaning but if I can avoid it any way I will go the easy option and go the blooming big pack :D With all the money that I have saved over the years on doing the cleaning myself and I have an idea up my sleeve...just trying to push it away cos I have lots of ideas up my sleeves like this and need to restrain myself somehow aaagh...
-
CC good idea. I keep a stainless steel scrubbie in the dishwasher at all times to ward of the stink so I should have thought of it.
Sue Kellie Jen Jen we are glad you all came to the Fest . All of you behave.
Gert
-
Just cleaned looks good will wait till it dries for the verdict. They are also good for the shower head.
-
CC, excellent idea to wash scrubbies in the dishwasher.
-
I mean I cleaned the shower
-
I've done the glass splashback and glass stove top stove using the scrubby and miracle cleaner. Dried off with a microfibre cloth and it comes up a treat. I then did the sink as well and was very happy with the results there too. I'd love a mitt made out of this stuff.
-
Two large ones sewn together JD.
Gert
-
Up there for thinking Gert!
Mine still haven't arrived. Usually stuff arrives really quickly from Helene, but not this time. It'll be AusPost holding it up, not Canada Post, for sure.
-
Today I have cleaned my oven racks - came up well but what I was really impressed with was how it bought the glass stove top up. I used the scrubbie and a bit of gumption and dried it off with paper towel. It sparkles.
-

Gert
Yes but I'm a lazy devil when it comes to sewing. A big one may be all I need rather than a mitt - I'll wait until I order and receive my pack Gretchen then see what I think of the big one.
-
I am just washing two of mine in the washing machine will let you know how it goes.
-
I got all the stains out of my tea cups/mugs with mine.
-
I did what CC suggested, put my kitchen scrubby in the dishwasher (made a hole in it and hung it on a hook) and will do this on a daily basis.
-
I used mine to clean the bugs of the windscreen after driving home from Perth. I jut sprayed the windscreen with some window cleaner and gave it a quick scrub. All the dried on bugs came off easy peasy.
-
Sounds good JD - I forgot to put mine in when I started the dishwasher.
Tomorrow the cleaner starts, (Yah and doubleYah). So will try the shower screens later in the week.
-
I don't have a dish washer and I don't think putting it inside DH will get it clean :)
-
Don't think you had better do that Cookie LOL. Such a handy little thing to have, one is certainly not enough.
-

Were you cleaning because the cleaner is coming?. Hand the scrubby to her and tell HER to do the shower screens.
You are funny mcmich.

I've just been washing mine, in hot soapy water, used it to clean the glass on the inside the oven came up a treat.
I pined the scrubbies on pin it and linked to my FB and my friend in Canada commented that they had them there. lol
Had to tell her that's where it came from :D
-
These are fantastic. We get a bit of scum on the shower floor from the tank water and soap. I put it under my foot while having a shower and rubbed it around. All gone, great.
-
I can't believe I can't wait to get a cleaning cloth!

No, I wasn't cleaning for the cleaner. She starts today, so later in the week the shower will need doing again.
No way I'm cleaning for the cleaner. I have SIL that hand washes all dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. CRAZY.
-
I washed two of mine in the washing machine in a lingerie bag and they came up well.
Cleaned my oven glass with just the scrubbie didn't come up as well as I thought will use some gumption or something on it next time.
The shower came up good with just the scrubbie no cleaning product
-
You never clean up for a cleaner, although I have heard some people do...
-
Mich you probably know this, but if you don't use soap in the shower just shower gel or something like Dove you don't get the soap built up and showers stay clean a lot longer
-

I would and that's why I won't be getting one, plus I find cleaning very therapeutic ,can't wait to get my scrubbies ;D
-
Suzanne - please come to my house - I'll save all my dust for you!

And when you have finished at Marina's jump on a plane and come to do my house.I do excellent B&B :D :D :D :D

Yvette, someone at work told me that. I just like to wipe my shower out every day and then there is no build up and full scrub twice a week.
I'm a bit OCD with bathrooms, laundrys and kitchens. Probably from nursing, I use over kill with cleaning products. It annoys me so much that I can't use bleach because we are on enviro system. Doing the planet a favour though.
-
Mich I still clean my shower every week but it doesn't look that bad. We used to have an enviro cycle too when I lived at Nelson (near Rouse Hill) and although they said not to use bleach I still did with no problems
-
Interesting Yvette. Our house is 13yrs old and we had the system pumped out last year.
I use bleach on paper towel that I throw in the bin and doesn't go down the drain.
-
We had our enviro cycle for 12 years and we were on tank water, used to domestos the toilets and bleach the showers
-
I cleaned some gunk off wardrobe doors with some jiff that previously did not want to come off.
Also with jiff and scrubbie cleaned my son's wall that had blue marks on it from his stable table.
-
Yvette, did you use Jiff cream cleanser or the spray? I some marks on my doors too.
-
Mich the cream I didn't know they had a spray
-
My scrubbies arrived today, thanks Wonder! Might tackle the bathroom tomorrow if I get time.
-
you can come and clean my house too... :)
-
I used my scubbie that was generously part of my goodie bag from MargAret River for the first time yesterday. It is faaantastic!
It cleaned the burnt on mess at the bottom of my bowl better than anything else I've tried before.
Today, I went to wash my son's jeans and discovered a weird green substance spilled on the inside of the jeans. I asked him what it was and he said "slime". Yuk! I soaked them in napisan and washed them in the machine, but when I went to hang them on the line, the slime was still there. Inspiration struck and I used white vinegar and my scrubbie on the slime, and hey presto, it was gone. Yay! Yay! Yay!
As soon as I get a moment, I am going to buy some more.
Thankyou Helene :)
-
I finally used my scrubbie for my TM had a bit of discolouration on the bottom came off straight away :D
-
I've just done a basketful of ironing and this vest of DH's had been inadvertently put in the washing machine when it should have been hand washed. It's black although it looks grey in the picture. Normally I would bin something this bad but today I wet a brand new scrubby and just look how it came up. It also removes bits and pieces of tissues from clothes when you have forgotten to go through the pockets :-))
-
That's brilliant JD and I would never have thought of it.
It's very frustrating when tissues end up going through a wash cycle of dark colors :)
Love the scrubbies in the bathrooms an kitchen.
Gave one to my cleaner and she loves it too :)
-
That's good to know Judy thanks ;)
-
Good one JD.
Gert
-
great ideas for Scrubbies
-
Thanks JD :-* ! I will all that to the list :)
-
The bugs have been bad lately and very difficult to get off the windscreen. I spray them with glass cleaner and use my scrubbie, they come off quickly and easily.
