Goodbye Detergent! Original Spaghetti Scrubs are the Tool of the Month!

The Kitchen Gadget Gals are a trustworthy source of information on tools to make cooking easier. So the Goodbye Detergent team was thrilled to find out that the gals selected the Original Spaghetti Scrubs as Tool of the Month! And what better month than the one that includes Earth Day. As the Gadget Gals note, you only need a touch of soap when using the Spaghetti Scrubs to clean dishes. The natural, renewable and gentle abrasive action of corn cob and peach pit fiber does most of the work. Avoiding detergent is better for the home environment and the world outside your home.

Don't rinse your dishes. Scrape them instead!

In case you missed it, here's a great article from the New York Times that reminds us that pre-rinsing your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher is not going to give you cleaner dishes in the end: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/21/garden/21fix.html?adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1322071773-xWRa0gEbsjJphT8PMyyrpQ
The gist of it is summed up in this quote, "“Pre-rinsing dishes is a big mistake,” said John Dries, a mechanical engineer and the owner of Dries Engineering, an appliance design consulting company in Louisville, Ky. “People assume that the dishwasher will perform better if you put in cleaner dishes, and that’s not true. Just scrape. Pre-rinsing with hot water is double bad, because you’re pumping water and electricity down the drain.”
But don't scrape with a knife or other metal utensil because it can leave scratches or marks. Goodbye Detergent! makes a kitchen scraper made of polyester resin that gently scrapes leftover food off your plates. You'll save water and your dishes will come out cleaner.
