    Pretty sure, I’m not the same people that condemned sponges as unsanitary…

    I do think brushes are more sanitary (on average probably even more so than a launderable cloth), but hygiene isn’t my problem with sponges.

      gunk absolutely collects, even after thorough washing, at the base of the bristles. you cant keep using the same brush forever. The only thing id say is close to good for hygeine are any full metal scrubber

        but not wire brushes which are a huge source of serious injuries when the fragments of bristles get swallowed.
