Scrub anything better with a pair of Skoys — now just $7. (Photo: Amazon)

A workhorse tool that's sustainable too? Yep! This adorable, reusable 6-by-5-inch Skoy Scrub, made from remnants from the toweling industry, outlasts other scrubbers and it's safe for all sorts of kitchen items — from nonstick pans and cast iron to cooktops and tiles! Also cool, you can just toss it in the dishwasher as needed.

"Appreciating this little scrubber much more than I thought I would," wrote a fan. "It's got the textile advantages of a scrub-brush/sponge with the ability to use it like a scraper...It can reach corners better than a brush, and can be used inside of bottles, glasses, etc. It has not scratched any of the surfaces I have used it on so far (enamel, glass, porcelain, nonstick, stainless).... It has not retained smells or odors, unlike a sponge."

Don't stop at the kitchen. You can use this to clean floors, tubs, cars and more. Right now a two-pack is on sale for just $7 (was $17). That's nearly 60% off.
