I read online some where that burlap is a great material to use for scrubbing cloths. The rough material can cut grease and other kitchen messes with ease. Plus, you can wash burlap just like you can unpaper towels and the like. Once they've started to wear and tear, they are supposed to be biodegradeable. I'm going to look this up and verify that though.
Oh! And air can flow through the material easily. So they won't collect bacteria like kitchen sponges will. You just throw them in the wash and hang them to dry after you're done using them!
My sister and I picked up some burlap and some cotton printed fabric today at the store. She's making me 8 burlap scrubbing cloths and made me a wet bag to hang on a kitchen cupboard to collect wet unpaper towels in between washings. I'm so excited!! She did a great job!
