ON THE COVER

Like an

accessory for

a clean sink,

this is the

one you break

out before

guests come over.

Perfect for

glassware.

These sparkly

pink and

metallic sponges

(RS editor

favorites) are

great for routine

washing and

safe on nonstick

surfaces.

Use these

scratch-free

and quick-

drying ones for

scrubbing pots

and pans.
