Recycle Bath Scrubbies and Puffs – Knitting Something Fresh

I can’t claim recycling bath scrubbies/puffs is an original idea. Salihan gets that credit, but imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Here I’ve taken two scrubbies/puffs, sanitized them, and then knitted them together. Here are instructions for you to do the same.

Preparation:

• Take apart your scrubbies/puffs
• Place them in a lingerie bag and wash them in the machine. Along with the detergent, add a little bleach to sanitize them.
• Remove from washer and hang to dry.

Knit New Scrubbie/Puff:

• Tools: Size 15 knitting needles and scissors
• Cast on 10 stitches
• Knit every row
• Add second scrubbie/puff fiber as you would add a new color of yarn to a scarf
• Continue knitting
• Bind off
• Note: you can also crochet a new scrubbie/puff

The size of this finished scrubbie/puff is 5.5 x4 inches.

I use my recycled puff for scouring the bath tub and shower walls. I can think of lots of other uses too. Be creative and happy recycling!
