I have an old pot scrubber made from an old towel that my sister bought for me at a farmer's market years ago. I am trying to find out how to make them. It is just a common towel with something on it to make the terry towel loops hardened. It is the best pot scrubber I have ever had that is safe to use on non stick pans. I can see Amazon sells them for $5.99 for two! I want to make my own like the lady at the market did. Since my sister bought it years go and for like 50 cents she does not remember from whom or where to even ask.

The only ones I seem to find are ones that you will need to knit or crochet. I would suggest that you take the old one you have and make your own pattern out of this one. Youj can take it apart to get the exact size that you are looking for. Use a piece of paper or even newspaper to make your pattern. I am sure you will need to sew this one. Many of them are filled with some type of form on the inside. I would suggest that instead of using foram that you should consider using plastic on the inside of yours. This should make it last longer and is easier to use and to clean.
thx poehere. Mine is simply a piece of old towel that has been hardened with something. I am seeing they are being made professionally by Skoy. just plain old towel that is slightly hardened.
Here is an article that tells you how to make 5 different scrubbers. www.google.com/
thx I saw those ones also. But this one is a straight piece of towel that has been hardened slightly. Simple as that. they seem to be mde professionally now by Skoy. but I wish to just make my own
There is you tube to make glue with pine sap. I would be more inclined to just buy them:
Did you ever figure this out? I think what they used is epoxy resin. I was going to experiment with Terry cloth and epoxy to see if it works.
If memory serves, after the terry cloth pieces are sewn together, shellac is used to make the terry cloth rough. Ive never made them myself but had been told shellac is used.
If memory serves, after the terry cloth pieces are sewn together, shellac (I think) or some type of resin is used to make the terry cloth rough.
I don't know if the fabric is dipped in the shellac (or resin) or if it is painted on.
I'm torn between painting and dipping.
Painting wouldn't be as messy but dipping and wringing out the excess would ensure the terry cloth is completely coated.
