What dish sponges do you use?
It is more efficient to buy cheap supermarket sponges and replace them more often, or do you find that more expensive options are worth the additional cost?

I used to use the green and yellow scotch-Brite but I've been sucked into the scrub daddy paradigm. They really are good scrub/sponges and last forever.
+1 for scrub daddy. Best thing is you can put it in dishwasher when it gets dirty.
+2 for scrub daddy and putting them in the dishwasher. I’ve been using the same one for 6 months and still going strong.
Absolutely yes on the scrub daddy. I didn’t even know there was a paradigm but I found some on sale somewhere so I got them and I couldn’t believe how well they hold up and how much suds they produce. I especially love how the scrubby part is harder with cold water and softer with hot water
So many people seem to like scrub daddy but they're only available online where I live. They claim that these don't scratch but could I also clean for example the clear plastic water container from our coffee maker without scratching it?
I use cotton dish cloths, and a brush
Scub Buddies Nail Guard - they're 6 for $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
Crochet + yarn does it for me. I make little 3x6" shapes with a small needle.
For scrubbies I use on of the dollar store plastic abrasive pads.
idk but I have also heard of some variant of these "unsponges": https://www.arosetintedworld.co.uk/how-to-make-unsponges-zero-waste-dish-scrubbers/
I primarily use small (3”x3”) microfibre towels for dishwashing - bought a pack of four a while ago ant the grocery store and am still using them. I can’t remember what I paid, but I don’t expect it was much more than $6 or $7 CAD.
I also have a sturdier microfibre scrubby that’s holding up less well, which I wouldn’t buy again. And then, of course, steel wool for the big-time elbow grease jobs.
