If you haven't hopped on the Scrub Daddy Scrub Mommy Scratch-Free Multipurpose Dish Sponge ($17 for three) train yet, get on board. These sponges don't accumulate mildew like typical sponges and actually change texture based on the temperature of the water. Cold water is great for hard scrubbing, while warm water softens the sponge to clean delicate things like drinking glasses.
