Just as there are cat people and dog people, there are dishcloth people and dish brush people. Sometime around the age of 30 (usually after marriage), arguments surrounding the merits of brushes versus cloths seem to take on great importance and ferocity, but our own collection of washing bowl beauties are sure to stop the bickering, getting your glassware, cups and all those other hard to reach corners ship shape and ‘bristle’ fashion — with an added touch of style. Who said cleaning was dull?
