Washing up has a bad reputation. Whether you live in a shared apartment where plates are constantly piling up, have a one-person kitchen with no room for a dishwasher, or feel like you have an endless supply of Tupperware and pans to wash after a day of taking care of the family, it doesn't always have to be all shriveled up fingers and wet towels.
Fluorescent green dish soap and dirty scrubbing brushes aren't great. But these six great kitchen products are.
Yeseco The One Brush
59,95 € With a recycled plastic handle and sisal bristles, this is one of the few reusable scrub brushes you'll never have to buy again. It comes with a magnetic stand that sticks to the side of your sink, so you can let the brush air dry and save yourself the hassle of moldy bristles and drips everywhere. Yeseco sells sets of replacement brush heads – but you can also buy new parts for the handle if you ever need them. Don't miss a moment. Sign up for our newsletter today.

Design Stuff foldable silicone drainer
34,90 € 
If you don't have room for a dish drainer, this handy rolling design is a real asset. Because it's made from silicone, it won't get as dusty or rusty as some of its counterparts. Plus, you can roll it across your sink as far as you need to.
Good Time Magnetic Bar Holder
$38 
If you still use bar soap but are struggling with a slimy puddle on your kitchen bench, this magnetic soap holder is for you. It's designed for use in showers, and there's nothing stopping you from installing it above your sink to store bar soap and dish soap.
Hommey tea towel
$19 
Since Hommey discontinued its kitchen range last year, we've been doing the washing up a lot more often. Whether striped or plain, these tea towels are made from 100% cotton and absorb suds well. The large models come with a handy hanging label to help with drying.
Domenica dishwashing liquid
$39 
One Broadsheet editor described this liquid as “almost too pretty to use on the dishes”. It smells of rosemary, tea tree and cinnamon. You only need a capful (about 10ml) to create a lovely soapy water in the sink.
Pleasant State The Cell Phone Cloth
$21 
Paper towels can feel pretty wasteful. But there's nothing worse than a smelly, unwrung kitchen towel. Made from recycled cotton and plant fibers, this lightweight, reusable cloth has the cleaning power of 17 rolls of kitchen towels and will last at least six months. Throw it in the washing machine when it gets a little gross, then keep wiping whatever you want. Plus, it's compostable at the end of its life.
