The giveaway is now closed and the winner has been notified! Stephanie P won!!
It’s a sponsored post! With a giveaway!!!
It’s summer. I love summer.
We’re keeping up with the basics, but the very nature of summer means there are days when dishwashing emergencies happen.
Y’know, like when you stay at the pool just a few (or twenty) minutes too long, so you decide the only option for getting dinner on the table AND showering before the evening’s baseball game is sticking something frozen in the oven.
On a cookie sheet.
But the cookie sheet is sitting in the sink (dirty) because it didn’t fit in the dishwasher last night.
Oops.
Yay for our favorite kitchen tool.
Scotch-Brite sent my kids some cleaning tools so they could clean for me for Mother’s Day. Their favorite and mine is the Scotch-Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand with Heavy Duty Cleaning Head.
It’s perfect for kids to use because it eliminates the need for excessive-dish-soap-squirting. (Not that my kids would know anything about that.)
It’s also perfect for quickly and easily washing the single cookie sheet I need NOW.
Oh, and then there are the moments when you’re heading out to the 50 cent summer movies and realize you never washed the popcorn bucket after the last movie you saw.
(You do realize all the “yous” in this post are talking about me, right? Okay, good.)
Yep, the dishwand is good for popcorn-bucket-cleaning too. No need to squirt a glob of detergent into the bucket, spend five minutes rinsing obsessively, and then still end up wishing your popcorn didn’t taste a little like dish soap.
Yayyyy!!!
Scotch-Brite asked me to review two of our favorite tools, but it was hard to decide on the next one. I liked all of them.
I decided the coolest, totally-new-to-me one has to be the Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths. My middlest son used it in the video. As he said, it’s kind of like a sponge, a scrubber and a dishcloth all in one.
It has the soakey-uppy-ness of a sponge, but I can use it like a dishcloth. And . . . the other side is scrubby. You can fold it over to scrub the counter when you find a particularly scrub-worthy spot. This helps when someone (totally hypothetically, of course) missed a spaghetti-sauce-splatter the night before.
Or two nights before.
The only thing I don’t love is that when it dries, it no longer drapes over the divider in my kitchen sink the way a regular dishcloth would.
This is what it looks like when it dries:
And now . . . it’s your chance to win your own Gift of Clean! Win some Scotch-Brite tools of your own!!

The Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths look cool! I’d like to try those. 🙂
I’m intrigued by the scrubbing dishcloth. I’m slowly transitioning to more environmentally friendly cleaning and food storage. It sounds like the dishcloth could replace paper towels!
Dishwands for sure! Those are so handy!
i’d love to try the soap dispensing wand!
I love the dishwands already, but I would love to try the scrubbing dish cloths. They look like a great idea.
The Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths is something I need. We don’t have a dishwasher so I do dishes by hand.
Totally the dishwand thingie
I’d love to try the dishcloths. They sound interesting.
I’d like to try the Stay Clean Scrubbing dish cloths.
I would love to enter! I want to try the dish cloth.
the dishwand..theres somethings my fat hands wont fit down in…
I think both those tools, the Scotch-Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand with Heavy Duty Cleaning Head AND the Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths would help make my after dinner routine that much easier, and quicker, allowing for more family, and me time. That dish cloth looks like it could work wonders on my stove top too 🙂
I like the Scotch-Brite Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloth that you can launder. It looks like it will not shrink after going through the wash & dry either!! No more smelly dish cloths!
The scrubbing cloths look like something I could use!
I think the dishcloth sounds like something I could use!

The stay clean dish cloth is what I’d like to try. I haven’t had a dishwand in awhile, but I did like it..might have to pick another one up. 🙂
I’d like to try the stay clean dish cloths.

I would love to try the heavy duty dish wand! As a mom of 5 i could use all the extra heavy duty cleaning help i could get.
I already know that I like dish wands, but I would like to try the scubbing dish cloth!
I actually have both of those & like them both. I could use a second Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloth.
I would love to try the Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloth….I’ve always preferred cloths over sponges, but sometimes I need a little scrubbing power.
I’m intrigued by the dish cloth thingies. I kind of hate dish cloths because they get so heavy. Maybe this would work for me.
I constantly over soap my coffee carafe. I rarely think to stick in the dishwasher so when hubby wants coffee after work….. yeah too much soap. That wand would totally make hubby get coffee sooner and waste less of my Method soap.
I like the dishcloth because I love something reusable that I can still throw away when it needs to be thrown away!
I absolutely must have the dis washing wand! The only dishwasher in my 1940’s kitchen is me. 🙁
I’m always on the lookout for the best dishcloth. I’m intrigued!
I love the wand! I have used it for years! I would love to try the scrubbing dish cloth. It sounds like the perfect tool needed to help get the gunk out of a 9×13 baker after I let it “soak” for the night. When really I just don’t want to dig for a Brillo pad that I hate the feel of 😉
I need the dishwashing wand scrubby thingy! I am a master of squishing everything in the dishwasher, but on occasion it doesn’t all fit. And it is way too much work to do just one or two dishes!
I would love to try the scrubbing dish rag. I already use the dish wand and LOVE it. Could always use another one.
The dishwand is something we use ALL the time! I like it with the scrubbing sponge! 🙂
The scrubbing dishcloth looks the most innovative. Thanks!
The stay clean scrubbing dish cloth!

both are awesome and intriguing..but the wand is on my grocery list for next time.!!
I would like the dishcloth as it seems that would be easier to keep clean than a sponge attached to a wand.
Oh, the diswand looks sooooooo handy!
I love the scrubber with dishwashing soap.
We wash our dishes by hand, and we go through a ton of soap when it’s the kids turn to wash. The wand would be great for them. I really like the looks of the scrubbing cloths-especially for the countertops.
The scrubbing dish cloth sounds awesome!
I’m torn! I do love the dish wand and have had one before bit I am intrigued by the stay clean dishcloth. I hate using a scrubby sponge to clean up a cheesy mess and ending up wit a sponge full of cheese that won’t rinse out!
I would like to try the new dishcloth scrubber. It looks like it has an interesting texture, a bit like microfiber, which is one of my favorite cleaning tools. I’ve only just started following your blog, and here you are giving free stuff — cool!!
I’d love to try the scrubbing dishcloth! And everything else, of course 😉
I would like to try the dishcloth. What a great idea! 🙂
I think the soap wand would be great! Sign me up!!
We love our scrubbing wands here! I would like to try the dishcloth out.
Oh I love these posts 🙂 I’ve totally done the popcorn bucket thing only there is a slight possibility that my fiance used it for about a gallon of cereal a day or two before the movie… haha personally I’ve wanted to try those cloth things since your son reviewed them in your mother’s day video!
I especially need the Scotch Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand with Heavy Duty Cleaning Head! Then my daughter could wash the pots and pans for me sometimes! Pick me! Pick me! 🙂
The Stay Clean Scrubbing Cloth. I want something heavy-duty that lets go of the debris, and this looks like it will fill the bill.
The stay clean scrubbing dish cloths! I’m buying some today!!
The Stay Clean Scrubbing Cloth! It seems it would reduce the need for paper towels.
The Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths is what I’m interested in. They look so good and sturdy.
I love the idea of a scrubber, cloth, sponge combo! I would love to try the Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths!
I need the dishwands for sure! My daughter uses way too much soap. And I saw something on Pinterest about putting one in the shower filled with half Dawn, half vinegar to scrub it clean. My hubby is an automotive tech and his shower stays grimy.
I have tried the Dollar Store version of the dishwand with disappointing results. I would love to give theScotch-Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand with Heavy Duty Cleaning Head a try.
The Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish cloth is something I would love to try.
Scrubbing cloths. (Well, all of them, really!!)
Dish cloth please! Great idea.
The stay clean scrubbing dishcloth looks really cool and I’d love to try it out.
The dishcloths look amazing, my 4 year old loves to help and that would be perfect!
I would love to try the dish cloths, those look great!
I would love to try out those dish cloths!
I want the stay clean scrubby dishcloth. I like using a dishcloth, but dislike when I need a little more scrub and have to find a sponge to use. Or leave it soaking forever (I do NOT need another reason to procrastinate).
My husband has actually been asking me to buy one of the dishwands.
I love the dish wand! I have one in the kitchen, that we use daily and one in the bathroom with shower cleaner that makes cleaning the shower a cinch! Would love to keep them handy other places too!
I’d like to try the dishcloth.
Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloth
The dishcloth would be perfect for keeping my stove clean.
Are you kidding? I have 14 kids, I need them ALL. But really, I love the dish clothes.
I already LOVE the dishwands, so I’d like to try the dishcloths.
After years of telling me to throw those nasty sponges away, I have finally listened to my husband, and converted to dishcloths. And now I love them! And I would love a pretty purple one that scrubs as well! Sign me up, please!
The Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloth sounds perfect! I’d like to try it.
Definitely the dish wand!
The Soap Dispensing Dishwand sounds like the perfect solution for my perky 4 and 3 yr old helpers who absolutely need to wash dishes if Mommy is doing anything at all in the sink. They constantly run out of soap aka bubbles while washing random plastic things and need just a “tiny bit more”.
Scotch-Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand is something I would love to try. I am always looking for new tools to help with my cleaning.
I would try the stay clean scrubbing dish cloth.
I need one of the scrubbing wands…I have had one before and I loved it!
I would love to try the dish cloth. I would love to see how well it cleans the top of the ceramic stove tops. They are a bear to clean when something like potato water boils over and bakes on.
The scrub brush looks awesome, I have one like it that has a brush instead. I’d love to see how the scotch brite one compares to the brush one.
I’ve used the wand before (someone else’s), but I’d like my own. But I love purple, so I’d like the dish cloth. I’ve never tried it.
Would love to have the wand and save time with the soap refilling. Thank you.
I’d be interested in trying out the dish cloth. I don’t usually use sponges because of the ick factor, but they would be handy to have once in a while. I think this dishcloth could be the answer! Thank you!
tough choice but I’d have to go with the dishwand.
followed ScothBrite from @kfab22
I have never seen the scrubbing dishcloths! I would love to try one out! Thanks for the chance!
I would love the dishwand, especially for when my kids wash the dishes!
I would like to try Scotch-Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand with Heavy Duty Cleaning Head. Cut and paste is a wonderful thing for a name that long.
I like the soap dispensing dish wand.
I have never seen the dish cloth but forgot about the dish soap scrubber and may even run out today to get on as I loved it in the past!
Very interested in the dishcloth. I think it would be useful around our kitchen!
Those scrubbing dish cloths look like they’d be just what we need in my house. My husband is a mechanic and is constantly coming in from the garage to get something to drink – leaving his greasy fingerprints on the white refrigerator (and everywhere else). I have 3 dogs that slobber, spill and track things everywhere. And there is a possibility that I might also be guilty of some of the mess in the house. These would be great for wiping up all of our messes. Being able to wash and reuse them would be a definite bonus.
I definitely need the dish towel. I buy the clorox wipes with the scrubbing side for just such an occasion, but this would totally keep me from buying them. So it would help my pocket AND the environment.
The dishwand of course….I thought my kids were the only ones who overly uses the dish detergent. Geesh – they use half a cup just to wash the cookie sheet.
I would love the dish wand! I see them in the stores, but have never tried them.
I’d love to try those Scrubbing Dish Cloths!
I love their dishwands! They are even great in our shower! Makes scrubbing the walls so easy!
I’m a big fan of Scotch-Brite products and have been using their sponges for many years. I’ve never heard of the dishcloth, though, and I’d love to try it! The wand is pretty tempting too, actually!
My sister told me I should get a Dish wand. It sounds like a good idea. Thanks.
I could definitely use the wand; I have so may times I just need to wash a dish to use again and this would be great since it has the dish detergent right in it!
The Scrubbing dish cloths sound awesome!
I would love to try the dish wand soap dispenser!
The scrubbing dishclothes! They would be a huge improvement to my current by-hand dish washing system!
The dish wand !!! Looks amazing, and with 6 kids (none of which will do dishes without the scare of their favorite electronic device possibly falling into water) it might just get someone (likely me) motivated to get those dishes scrubbed.
My kids love helping with the dishes (weird, I know). I buy cheap dishsoap because they overuse so much soap! I’m sure the dishwand would be great for them, and I could go back to a better quality dishsoap. 🙂
Those dishcloths look awesome! And the sponge on a stick things are also great for cleaning the shower!
I would love to try the scrubbing dishcloths.
Love the tip above from Alicia on using the dish wands in the shower!
Those dishcloths seem like they would make my kids fight over who gets to use them, that seems like a win in my house!
I think the “Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths” would be the ones I need this week. In a rush all weekend and then on Tuesday ran my hand across the counter and it felt like sandpaper!! Sugar? Lemonade mix? or just residue from my kids. Who knows, but something with a scrubby side would be great.
I totally need the scrubbing wand. I am sometimes guilty of excessive soap use. It’s not clean unless it lathers right?
I would love to try the scrubbing dishcloth. It eliminates the need for both a cloth and scrubby sponge! I love the idea.
The scrubbing dish cloth looks like a product of theirs I’d like to try as well! Very nice it seems easy to hold, would be good to scrub dishes and even stains on clothes! Thanks for the opportunity.

I need the Scotch-Brite Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloth!
I love the Stay Clean Sponges. Getting food stuck on the scrubby side of a sponge is SO gross.
I so seriously need the stay clean dishscrubbing cloth this week… my kitchen is a disaster! (and will the dishes stay clean too??? that would be a really cool trick if it did that)
I’m intrigued with the dish cloth. We don’t have a “middle of the sink hump” and I haven’t settled on a good dish cloth system since we moved into this house (5 years ago!) Clearly, I need help!
I’d love to try the Scotch-Brite Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths. I’m trying to stay on top of my house now that summer vacation is here and I’m not working. Every day is a struggle to stay on task…. This might make cleaning the kitchen more fun (hahahah!).
I definitely need both the wand and the cloths. I have 5 kiddos that can use the wand and I would love to try the cloths.
I have recently started using your methods on de-cluttering my life. I would love some tools to help me in the kitchen or bathroom. The Stay Clean Dish Cloths sound awesome. I cook a lot but I am not a very clean one. It would be great to have something that not only wipes but scrubs as well – I don’t always clean right after I cook 😉
I really like the soap-dispensing dish-wand It would be very handy for quick jobs. .
Interested in the stay clean dishscrubbing cloth! Trying to transition over to reusable items but Norwex is sooo expensive :/

I would love both if these, but I know I would use the wand ALL THE TIME!!! Love you Nony! Thanks!!!
They both sound like something I need and I am also in desperate need of a cleaning bucket! But, even though the scrubbing cloth sounds wonderful, I think I need the dish wand the most. I am an obsessive dish washer. I wash dishes immediately and do not let them pile up, which means I go through A LOT of dish soap… A LOT…because I probably wash dishes 10 times a day. Now, before anyone starts thinking I don’t have cleaning challenges, let me assure you that I have MANY cleaning challenges, it is just that I learned years ago that it was much easier to wash a couple dishes at a time than it is to wash a sink full, so, if I leave them, that dreaded sink full turns into a counter full, etc. I only wish I was as obsessive about other cleaning as I am the dishes, LOL, then maybe I’d actually let my friends come inside my house…one day, right? Anyway, I think the dish wand would help me use a lot less dish soap instead of squirting out a bunch 10-12 times a day. Thanks!
I could see myself using both of them, but I’m intrigued by the dish wand. I have a problem using too much dish soap myself and would like to see how much soap I could save.
Entered to win and have my sons do a “trial”.
It will be awesome
I definitely need to do some cleaning around here. I have never used a dishwand before so would like to try one. The Stay Clean Dishcloths would definitely be used as I really need to replace what I’m using now. Thanks for the opportunity to win.
The soap dispensing wand is my favorite!!
I’d like to try them all. Anything to making cleaning quicker and easier!
I could really use the Scotch-Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand with Heavy Duty Cleaning Head. My husband has the habit of leaving dishes on his desk, so they tend to get missed when
washing dishes. A couple of days later, the dishes magically appear in the sink with heavily crusted food on them. It usually gets blamed on the kids, who are too young to defend themselves 🙂
Dishwand!! I use one to clean my bathtubs. =))
I’d love to try the dishwand!
I tweeted
I also follow them on twitter
The dishwand would be perfect for us! I use the dishwasher for almost all of my dirty dishes but sometimes I need to handwash one thing. My kids could use it too!
The dish wand sounds good. Keep the kids from using 1/2 a bottle of soap at a time. Lol
Scrubbing dishcloth fo sho. Thanks for the chance!
I like the soap dispensing dishwand, but I do have a question. Can you use it on non-stick pots and pans?
The gift pack will also include one that is non-scratch.
I need a new dishwand (as long as it’s a magic wand…lol!). Seriously, maybe my boys would wash some dishes if I let them use the wand!! Great giveaway!
I also follow scoth brite on twitter (@ dgpangburn).
I have used most of these before, but the stay clean scrubbing dishcloth sounds cool!
Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths look great and I love that they are purple! 🙂
Hubby does the dishes while I do the wiping (table, counters, frig, stove, etc). So I want to try the Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths. Of course, I could share one with him for dishes!
The scrubbing dish cloth and the microfiber cloths in the tote!
The dish rag/sponge is the one I want to try
I’d like to try the stay clean scrubbing dish cloth!!! Although they all seem cool 🙂
Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths sound great. I also could use the dish wand because it looks like the Dawn wand that I am currently using has been discontinued. Maybe it’s not, but I can’t find them around here anymore.
I’d love to try the purple thingy. 🙂

I’d love to try the stay clean dish cloth. I use white wash clothes now and they get gross fast!
I would use the Scotch-Brite Soap Dispensing Dishwand with Heavy Duty Cleaning Head for sure !! Sounds terrific. I don’t have a dish washer so that would be perfect for my household
The stay-clean scrubbing dish cloth looks like something I’d like to try!
I need a soap dispensing dishwand. My kids definitely participate in the excessive-dish-soap-squirting so this would be great for them. Thank you for the giveaway!
They all sound good– if you saw my stove top you’d understand why!
I like the dish wand the best, for washing dishes by hand. Thx for the giveaway!
Great giveaway, I would love to try out these Scotch-Brite products. 🙂
Definitely the wand. For when the dishes pile up and I just need a clean plate/bowl/fork/whatever.
I like the dish cloth because it’s washable and reusable! My roommates are disgusting so I would use those and wash them frequently!
I think both would be great, but I think I would like the soap dispensing wand. I never thought I would care of one of those, but after you mentioned how you used it to wash just one item it was a light bulb moment! I am a widow who does not like to cook, or wash dishes, nor do I have a dishwasher. (My late husband was my ‘dishwasher’) And I use paper plates a lot, or make frozen meals in the microwave, so often the only dishes accumulating in my sink are coffee mugs, silverware and cereal bowls. If I had the dish wand I could more easily wash the one mug and one cereal bowl as soon as I finish with it instead of piling them in the sink every day until I have a sink full at the end of the week. That is much better than having somebody come to my door when I have that sink full.
The dish wand!
I tweeted! I’m nwaihu.
I followed @scotchbrite_3M. I’m nwaihu.
I think the Stay Clean dishcloth sounds great! I hate when mine get icky and smelly!
I NEED to try those scrubbing dish cloths! I have the Scotch Brite srubbing sponge for non-stick pans and it is fantastic! It doesn’t scratch my pans and yet still cleans off the baked on eggs from the morning! I hope I’m chosen!
Dish wand
I can’t wait to get my hands on A Scotch-Brite Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloth!

Stay Clean Scrubbing Dish Cloths
I would like to try the soap dispensing dishwand. I think it would help us to not use too much soap.
the dish rag for sure
Scrubbing dish cloth for … Ahem… Two day old Spaghetti splotches… 🙂
the scrubbing dishcloth!!!
Umm… all of them? LOL!
I could really use the wand thingy. I have three kids. I think you know where I’m coming from…
I love the wand…I have one in my bathroom to use on the sink and tubs! I need another one back in my kitchen!!
I think I like the scrubbing dishcloth better, and it’s PURPLE, too! I’d need more than one or two, though.
LOVE the soap dispensing wand definitely my favorite. Works great for the showers and tubs as well.
I had an old bristle brush wand that I love that they really don’t sell the refill for anymore. So, I would love to try the new sponge head for it. 🙂
The dishcloth that can be laundered would be great to use -and re use after laundering!
The scrubbing dishcloth sounds amazing!
Ooh, I have been wanting one of those handled soap dispensing scrubbers! They’re spiffy!
I too have kids that would NEVER squirt too much dish soap! Just in case, I would like the dishwand.
The scrubbing dish cloths!
scrubbing dishcloth is what I want!
The wand.. I would feel like a fairy godmother making all my kids wishes come true..at least I can dream they would do the dishes for me…lol..
The scrubber I hate paper towels my wife makes me use..
