As you might remember from my Japan trip updates last year, many of the companies I met while on my trip specialized in cleaning products of all sorts. At long last, we have those available for you at Japanistic.
A personal favorite? The Bowtie Dustpan and Brush, available in three colors. The perfect size to keep at your desk, at the ready for some tidying when you need it.
The kitchen sponge is an important item in Japan, and we’ve got plenty of them.
If you have any knowledge about Japanese sponges, you know that Melamine makes for a miracle sponge. My current favorite? This Fruits Melamine Orange Sponge separates into 6 parts so you can use it as you need it without ruining the rest of the sponge. And you will want to use these ALL the time because they are MIRACULOUS for removing stains, and problem spots of all kinds.
Another current favorite is this Monkey Kitchen Sponge.
These little monkeys are adorable, and slightly coarse on the outside so they are super effective. In addition, they can clip to your faucet to dry! And look cute in your kitchen!
Cleaning is always more fun when there is cuteness involved, don’t you think?
Another love is this set of Pink Bear Cleaning Cloths.The set of two is reusable, and large enough to help you clean wherever in your kitchen needs a helping hand.
And yes, I must admit that part of what I love is the instructional illustration on the package. Look how happy they are to be helping you clean!
Of course, it’s not just the actual kitchen that needs cleaning. You need the proper tools to clean your food too! Try our Frog Scrubbie, Potato Brush, Vegetable Scrub Brushes, or Fish-shaped Kitchen brushes.
Potato Brush special feature? Yup – an easy way to remove the eyes and spots.
As always, there are some goodies I haven’t even gotten to load yet. Be on the lookout this weekend for fruit-shaped sponges that are bite-worthy.
It is my ideal to make pieces that are infused with nostalgia.
