Washing Up Pad Buyer’s Guide
The right washing up pad can transform your evening clean up from a dreaded chore into a speedy 5 minute job. But it’s very easy to go wrong when it comes to washing up pads, as there’s such a huge range on the market.
Not sure what to look for? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Material
Washing up pads are usually made using polyester and microfibre. Most have a soft sponge filling, with one side designed for general cleaning, and the other for scrubbing. Scourers made from metal are the most effective at removing very tough food remnants, but they can damage your pans if not used carefully.
If you’re trying to shop responsibly, look for a washing up pad made from natural products.
Ease of Use
The size and shape of your washing up pad will impact the ease of use. Look for a pad that fits neatly in your hand. Most have a curved, ergonomic shape that’s easy to hold. Flexible pads should be able to reach into the corners of any pan and dish.
Durability
While washing up pads aren’t designed for life long use, they should last long enough for you to get your money’s worth! Look for a pad that can be cleaned in the dishwasher or washing machine every once in a while. Eco-friendly washing up pads should be very long lasting.
