    Trying to avoid microplastics. I have yet to find a scrub brush that isn’t plastic bristles. So i use dishcloths.

      Get you a stainless steel chainmail scrubber. Don’t use it on non-stick cause you’ll ruin the teflon coating, but on everything else it’s wonderful, like steel wool that doesn’t fall apart.

      Something like this, although personally I prefer a more fine chain.

        I have one but I do find it a bit difficult. Maybe the fine chain ones would work better for me.

        I have some bamboo pot scrapers that I prefer over scouring. Sometimes I use baking soda with a damp rag as an abrasive when the scraper isn’t working.

          I also like to heat the pot back up, deglaze it with water, and scrape with my spatula. If there’s still gunk stuck on, I’ll add more water and bring it to a boil, then it comes right off. Even if the gunk is on the edge of the pot, the steam will loosen it. I could probably boil my plates too, now that I think about it, lol.
