I have scratches on my Wusthof chefs knife because of those stupid green sponges. I about lit the sponges on fire when I figured it out.
Wusthof knives... sign of someone who appreciates crafting fine food as well as fine beer!

"Everyday" glasses just get put in the dishwasher, and they still lace very nicely.

According to the Riedel/Spiegelau guy that did the tasting where I got my glasses, the main issue with Spiegelau in the dishwasher is rinse agents in many detergents (or with their own reservoir) used today.  He said that it wasn't because of the lace/head retention, though.  He said the more focused bell taper intensified the aroma of the rinse agent just like it does the beer aromas.  That's why I hand wash mine.

Hmmmn, methinks the anger over the sponges says more about Amanda's personality type than green sponges. ;)
I say this because I'm the opposite type. As long as something works the more banged up looking the better so I don't have to worry about it. I'm a wash the car once a year whether it needs it or not type. (the inside that is. Washing the outside of the car is just stupid.)

Yeah, those are the super abrasive ones. Throw them in the garage, that's about all they're good for.

No no! They are great on cast iron and salt blocks! But agree not on stainless or glass.

My 10" Victorinox fell prey to the green side of a sponge. Now I use a soft toothbrush to clean my knives. Keeps the fingers safe as well.

haha! Here's where I come in and admit that the majority of my glasses all go in dishwasher, except opnes that are printed or gold rimmed. I usually give them an extra rinse before use and don't seem to have major problems with foaming issues.
