dish sponge

Sudsy plate cleaner

A dish sponge is a small porous pad used for washing dishes, typically made of synthetic foam or cellulose.

One side is often abrasive for scrubbing, the other soft for gentler cleaning.

The dish sponge by the sink needs replacing.

Dish sponges are notorious for harboring bacteria if not dried or replaced regularly.
