I'm actually using polyfill right now. The blue scrubbie I had must have had some soap in it and I can't get rid of the taste, lol! So, I'll be scouting the sponge/scrubbie/pet section next time I'm at the store!

Kristin,

If you find something that you think is better than the 3M 96 pad, let me know. But frankly... how much better could it really get?

kristin · 11-05-2009, 04:26 PM

Where did you get the 3M 96 pad? Oh, and Scotch Brite has a "green" pad as in made from 50% natural fibers, too.

I got the 3M (Scotch Brite) 96 pad from my local ACE hardware. They had them in both the woodworking/sandpaper aisle, and in the household cleaning aisle.

So, no one willing to try those multi use cloths? I would, but can't yet...

I'm talking about this, don't know their names in english, maybe multiuse cloth?

I would try them for you but I can't really tell what they are or where to get them. I wonder if they are microfiber cloths.

I don't know how it's called in english, but I went to the kitchen and took a photo, maybe you can see better.
It says it is composed by 85% viscose and 15% polypropylene. It appears slim, but when it absorves the water it gets "fatter".
There ara also other types of this stuff that are thicker, but I don't have any around...

It's a big square, maybe 40cmx40cm.
The thicker ones aren't as big, and feel more rubbery.

That kinda looks like the ShamWow product. As I mentioned, I couldn't find a happy medium (1 layer, too thin, two layers... too thick) that would wick properly.

It looks a bit like the Shamwow mentioned earlier. Scott said he tried it and I think he said one layer leaked or was difficult to work with and two layers was too absorbant and didn't wick enough to the atty?
