What the hell is in the green part of these things that make

Why would you ever even let a sponge near your kitchen? Do you not know how to maintain and wash rags? For anything you need abrasives for, there's steel wool.

Why are you letting your knives sit around long enough for food to dry on them, to the point where you need to use anything more abrasive than your hand to wash them?

It's your own fault.

Yeah but these things really get the crud off.

you need to treat them for what they are. Durable fabric sandpaper. I'm sure you could google exactly what they are.

For future reference, keep a kitchen rag handy for any time you cut something, immediately wipe after. If you're going to spend money on a knife, take the time to take care of it.

Get some garlic bags. Not those flimsy plastic ones, get the tough thicker plastic ones. They last for ever and are super easy to rinse out because food doesn't stick in them like all the other scouring/scrubbing pads. These here are 3-4 years old and are used 1 to 10 times a day. The only damage they have on them are from removing the sewed on paper thing from the store. If you need some extra scouring power, just make a paste of water and baking soda and use it with these. Even fucking days old baked on shitty canola oil will come off with this plus baking soda and not harm the finish on anything.

I went through $50 in pot scrubbers and a pile of plastic orange bags before finding these. I'm going to put them in the will for my kids.

This or a chain-mail sheet if you have that lying around.

Those things suck.
Get some Speedex and Brillo's and your sorted. With those you can clean up pretty much anything. Not everything but just about everything.

It's steel wool but plastic ya dingus.

You use it for scrubbing off baked-on bullshit on your 20 year old grimy baking sheets.

This is the right idea. Nylon mesh is what you want. Not too abrasive, durable, able to handle bigger jobs.

I use one of pic related. Just the right size, dishwasher safe so I can keep it clean and probably will outlive me.
