Simplifies a manual task
Scrub Daddy Original sponge
Original, 1 count
A sponge that firms up in cold water and softens in warm
Hand-washing pots and pans is the dish job that doesn't fit in the dishwasher. One sponge that can switch between scrubbing and wiping means one less tool by the sink.
It's still manual dishwashing. It won't replace a dishwasher, and it wears out — plan to replace it.
Jobs it helps with

Without buying anything
Soaking cookware in hot soapy water while you eat makes any sponge more effective.
