One of my go-to items for washing dishes is a ss chain mail, like this Ringer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FKBR1ZG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Q3DYG1FS1CQ183RY8K50

It works great for all pots and pans, but really shines when using on cast iron.

I get it hot, and use this. Fast easy. chain mail This one fits great in Jr: 10” skillet

Hello fellow drunk and now cast iron owner. Having used cast irons for a while now and converted my family to use them as well here are 2 things i recommend to all

Chain mail style cleaning device. It's basically all i use now: https://www.amazon.com/Ringer-Original-Stainless-Cleaner-Patented/dp/B00FKBR1ZG/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=cast+iron+cleaner&qid=1576123455&sr=8-5

Whatever the fuck this thing is for basically scraping all the shit off: https://www.amazon.com/Lodge-Scrapers-Handheld-Polycarbonate-Cleaners/dp/B0039UU9UO/ref=sxin_3_ac_d_rm?ac_md=1-1-Y2FzdCBpcm9uIHNjcmFwZXI%3D-ac_d_rm&keywords=cast+iron+cleaner&pd_rd_i=B0039UU9UO&pd_rd_r=5f7d4e32-1848-4b66-8702-3c198848aa90&pd_rd_w=ojyzg&pd_rd_wg=o6TMn&pf_rd_p=6d29ef56-fc35-411a-8a8e-7114f01518f7&pf_rd_r=1GKAZRCA4W5AESNDMXGT&psc=1&qid=1576123574

I got this one four years ago, use it most days and it's still like new. There's cheaper ones to be found but I read the reviews - cheap ones can come apart. This one is excellent quality:https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FKBR1ZG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My other one has finer links, it's a bit gentler. It's like a bag, you insert a sponge in there. Lodge sells something similar that comes with a sponge, but I like this one better because it's open on one end, so you can replace the sponge when it gets sour. They're out of stock at the moment but I'm sure they'll be getting more.https://butterpatindustries.com/collections/accessories-stuff/products/ring-cloth

Their Ring Rag looks good too. I don't have it, but look at all those extra rings!
