With cooler weather bearing down on us, I’m switching my kitchen tactics.  The grill is getting a chance to hibernate, and I’m busting out my casserole dishes and hearty comfort food meals.  The only bummer?  More clean-up.

Fortunately, with Scotch-Brite™ Brand products, available at Target, it’s easy to find the right tool to make doing the dishes as easy as possible.  As someone who spends HOURS a day in the kitchen, trust me when I say Scotch-Brite Scrub Dots® are my new best friend.

I use Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Dots Sponge to eliminate baked-on messes like on my heavy duty bakeware.  For my non-stick skillets?  I use Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Sponges, which clean without scratching.
