Wondering what the CCS people think here.

Seems this is an actual long-running debate, and people do it different ways.

All of the above.

Soap goes on what I am scouring.

Soap goes on the rough side of my sponge.

Soap goes on the smooth side of my sponge.

Soap goes on my homemade sourdough bread that I fan out with a fork.

I put soap fucking everywhere.

I use a dish brush, and I have a silicone scrubber that I use as well, unless it can be steel wooled then I use that for certain things.

Also just bought a ring mail scrubber for my cast iron.

Ultimately though I use the dish brush and rinse/scrub as I go and then everything goes in the dishwasher to get cleaned for a second time.

Pussy.

Real men scour.

I walked uphill both ways to scour my pots and pans as a toddler, and I was working 3 jobs aside.

Why put the soap on the sponge at all? Put that shit right on the dish...then commence sponging, opting for the sponge side for the easier jobs and flip to the scouring side when the job requires a bit more of an aggressive approach. Then put it in the dishwasher to see if it can do any better.

Those things are literally trash.... That little rubber push button always cracks in like three weeks and then it wont dispense soap. Literal garbage.

The poll is missing my choice.. soap goes in the water.
You get a sudsy sink and then soak.
Let them soak, tell everyone they are soaking, and for the next few days keep a low profile.
The dishes will dissappear.
I don't know how- all I know is that one day they are soaking and the next they are in the dishwasher, and then they migrate to their homes.

I spent like 8 dollars on them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Twice.

Now I buy a 1 dollar brush at dollar general and just squirt soap onto it and it never breaks. Plus I can buy 8 of them for the price of one.

Dollar General > Bed Bath and Beyond
