Like others I used to live way out in the middle of nowhere. Since I had no yarn to use I crocheted fishing line into pan scrubbies, they work wonderful, used them on my teflon they did not scratch. It is a little stiff and difficult to work with but well worth the effort.

I have a client who makes these little scrubbers every year for Christmas. She uses netting, so it makes a little coarser scrubber than the plastic. I purchased one from her and use it on everything. It makes the best vegetable scrubber. I use it on my cucumbers from my garden, as well as my potatoes.
In February of 2012 a team from our church will be traveling to the Philippines on a mission trip. Our team is learning how to crochet the plastic bags from stores into mats, curtains, and anything else we can come up with. There is an abundance of these bags in the local dump, so to recycle we are teaching the filipinos that live near the dump to crochet these bags and use them for various purposes around their homes or to sell! (of course, they will be cleaned first)

This works great if you crochet another one out of dishcloth yarn and slipstitch them together to make a two sided dishcloth/scrubber!

This is AWESOME!!! I just found this site and have already made a scrubber this morning. My youngest child and I have made crocheted dish towels & dish clothes for Christmas this year. These scrubbers will make a great addition without any added cost. Thank you for a great site. Keep up the GREAT work!

My Grama made crochet rugs with bread bags-mine has LONG since worn out. Thanks for the renewed interest in this recycle program. I am motivated to make a replacement, along with scrubbies, bags, coasters…!

Love your site! Just made a pot scrubber with plarn plus (plarn and another yarn.) To prevent the dangerous build up of bacteria, I simply microwave the scrubber for 30 seconds.
