#콘수프기록집 #현명한소비 Before I knew it, I passed my first year of newlywed life, and as I tried out household items one by one, I realized that eventually, there were certain things I reached for often and kept using.☺️ Today, I’m going to show you three household items I use every day in the kitchen! 1. Nitrile Rubber Gloves 🧤 Since we don't have a dishwasher lady at home, washing dishes by hand every day is a must.😂 I used to be able to do it well with bare hands, but now that I realize how precious my hands are, I’ve made sure to always make sure to wear rubber gloves. It was a shame that regular rubber gloves would smell of rubber or deteriorate and get holes after prolonged use, but I am satisfied with these nitrile gloves because they have almost no smell and are durable. The sleeves extend high, so less water gets in while washing dishes! Since I don't have to change my rubber gloves often, it actually feels more economical ☺️ 2. Natural Loofah 🌿 I've tried various loofah products, but what always left me wanting more was those small pieces stuck to the dishes when I was running low… 🥹 Then I discovered natural loofahs! At first, I was fascinated to learn that if you boil real loofah fruit and peel off the skin, it becomes the loofah we use. It cleans grease well, softens when it comes into contact with water so it puts less strain on dishes, and produces a rich lather, so I've been using it a lot lately. After trying various products, I am currently using a compressed type. It is convenient because I can cut it generously to fit my hand without having to spread it out separately. And this Chuseok, my daughter from the vineyard asked her dad to plant some loofahs, and… My dad boiled a whole bunch of loofahs and dried them all for me 🥹 Thanks to him, I don't think I'll need to buy any more loofahs for a while haha. 3. Kitchen Cloth 🧺 This is the product I settled on after trying out various types of dishcloths. It uses a Japanese mosquito net weaving method, so it is resistant to color transfer. Above all, I liked that it dries quickly and doesn't smell easily. Another advantage is that it gets softer and absorbs better the more you use it! At first, I really enjoyed using the Harada Kiyoi 7-ply one, and lately I've been using the similar Maruyama 6-ply one as well. Personally, perhaps because of the one-ply difference, the Maruyama one feels like it dries a little better. Both brands have cute patterns, so collecting them one by one is quite fun 🥰 Also, this dishcloth cleans much better if you wipe with the plain side! It seems the patterned side is made of cotton material haha. When it comes to newlywed household items, I think the ones you reach for every day last longer than the pretty ones ☺️
