Or, scrub the last pot with some baking soda then rinse in hot water. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) should not degrade the plastic yet will help control the bacteria & smell. It is a nice non-abrasive cleaner as well. Since this pattern is so easy and materials so available, tossing it shouldn't cause too much guilt.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving some advice about cotton washcloths. I too wash with a dab of bleach and it helps with staying fresh. As for the plastic, I am careful and use hot water rinse and then cold rinse. The cold rinse is key as it doesn’t leave your pot scrubber or dishcloth warm for germs and odors to grow.

When it's no longer "fresh", I wash it in the washing machine then hang it outside to dry. The UV in sunlight is great for killing the germs which are responsible for the smell. I'm not sure how well this cleaning routine will work for plastic scrubbers, since the same UV that sterilizes washcloths also photodegrades plastic, plus bleach will also cause many plastics to begin degrading.

I will share this with my crafty friends. So far, they are just busy making fabric shopping bags. It’s so nice to be crafty and incorporate green ideas into our craft projects.
