Being green is all the rage these days, but the kitchen isn’t exactly the easiest place to be eco-friendly. That’s why we, at In Order To Succeed, love these scrubs from Goodbye Detergent. They are a cool and inexpensive way to bring a little greenness to any kitchen.
The original spaghetti scrub from Goodbye Detergent is made of corn cobs and peach pits and is a natural way to clean cookware. Available in both gentle and coarse the scrubs are naturally abrasive meaning it isn’t necessary to use detergent although the scrub may need a bit of soap when cutting through heavy grease. The unique design of the spaghetti shaped scrub allows it to be pliable enough to tackle cleaning anything from pots to counter tops to hard to reach sink corners. After each use the scrub dries quickly meaning there is no mold or bacteria sitting in the sink. Each scrub can last for several months.
Goodbye Detergent was established in 2008. Their line of environmentally friendly scrubs for the home made from recycled materials such as corn cobs, peach pits, and walnut shells were created by industrial designer Hiroki Hayashi. Since the launch of Goodbye Detergent the products have won several international design awards including the Good Design Award of 2008 and the Design Plus of 2009 among others. Bring some environmental friendliness to your kitchen and home with Goodbye Detergent’s original spaghetti scrub, kitchen cleaning pads, and outdoor scouring pads. Available at amazon.com and Crate and Barrel.
